You may be able to just unscrew the valve you have and screw on a new valve but it could be sweated on and that is more difficult. If you can find another valve just like you have or almost like the one you have then the stem in the new valve might work in the old valve body that you have. Just take the guts out of the new valve and put them in the existing valve body. You may only need that bonnet nut that you broke.

I already have the old valve unscrewed, so that shouldn't be an issue. If I were to buy the item you linked from Lowe's, would removing that stem not work in my existing valve body, and does that item not include the bonnet nut to replace the one I broke, or were you suggesting to use the bonnet nut from the new one along with otherwise all my existing parts?
