Reply With QuoteDid you find it lying there like that¿ Surely the fixture had a manufacturer printed on it. Or the stem has some tell tale letters and numbers. I would eye it suspiciously if it just showed up like that and sat there unresponsive to questioning.

What is this stem?
Who makes this steam and is it still available for purchase?

I'll tell you right now without looking for a replacement that this did not come out of a quality of faucet worth repairing. I would venture a guess that you will not be able to find a replacement stem. My guess it it was found in a trailer. I would recommend upgrading to a better quality faucet.

Yep, buy them for 6 bucks a piece or 5 if you buy the case. And yes, I do use them on mobile homes for two reasons. # 1 they are cheap and # 2 they are the only thing I have found that will mount solidly on the 8 dollar plastic sink. No point in putting a Rolls Royce hood ornament on a Yugo.
Do you know the name of the manufacture of this stem?
I would like to replace my existing stem as it leaks.
RV stores might carry them if the other guys don't have 'em.

I get them from Compton products out of NY. But you can probably buy another faucet for the same money.
Unscrew the stem from the nut - might just have an o-ring in there that you can replace and reuse the parts you have.
Use plumbing grease as lube.
I discovered that the manufacture of my stem was Moen. I contacted Moen and they said that the cartridge was from a Chateau faucet that is no longer available. I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that would have discountined Moen cartridges?
Thanks.

It is Moen. The Larsen part number is S-164-3... if anyone cares about this ancient thread.

How about putting a RR, or Cadillac, grill on a VW bug? Somewhat popular a few years ago.

I'll take your word for it, and will have to, because no matter how far back I go in the Moen parts books I find NONE which use a "splined" stem or handle.
