Review: Took a chance on this and I'm glad I did! - My shower faucets and head had been leaking continuously and I decided to fix it myself. I'm pretty handy and a good bike wrench so I watched a some YouTube videos and after buying some stem socket "cowbells" I was finally able to extract my badly stuck sleeves and faucet stems with vice locks, a bit of vinegar, penetrating oil, patience, and elbow grease. And I didn't break anything! I saw that one of the faucet stems was badly bent (one of the prior tenants had probably stood on it to change a light bulb more than 30 years ago). The packing was screwed up from this and it sprayed a little water from around the stem when I tapped it when the water was on at certain positions. So instead of just a pair of 5/8 x 1/8 washers I needed a new stem. My local hardware store plumbing dude was a real jerk and basically blew me off when I came in with the stem (see photo), saying "we don't have that stem," and offered no further advice. I asked him where I could get one and he told me to go to a plumbing supply place. Just what I need, I thought: more obnoxious dudes catering to the trade who will take pleasure in ripping me off as a "non-guild member". I checked the Yelp reviews for the dodgy storefront place he pointed me to and it turned out my suspicions were spot on. I did more research online and determined from the spline count and appearance the stem was a pre-war (1945) style Gerber. My building is really old (1910) and my plumbing is at least 40 years old and probably more. I googled and found his replacement kit and guessed it was probably a functional match (especially with all the positive reviews) and it looked like a great deal. The only significant difference seemed to be (1) the length of the stem extending from the threads was a little shorter in the full open position and 2) the bonnet threads themselves extend a little farther into the plumbing fixture. I figured the threads wouldn't be an issue. My worry was leak issues with possibly "overextending" the stem slightly in the full off position. Also my faucet escutcheon plates were not round, but an oblong shape that screwed into a loose plate that went around the stem sleeve and was held in place with a hex nut that encircled a water cutoff switch. Best to keep the oblong ones instead of retiling. It turned out none of these issues made any difference in functionality for the new faucet stems after installation. The sleeves fit the oblong escutcheon plate perfectly. The packing nuts were shipped loose and needed to be tightened down (but not crazy tight) to prevent leakage from around the stem, but then everything worked fine with no leaks. The handles are very easy to turn. Both washers make a slight short squeak at full off position but I actually kind of like the sound and feel (it reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen sink). I didn't bother replacing any seats because mine were smooth to the touch and don't eat up washers. The old seats (or maybe the new washers) might be causing the squeak. But It's nice to have backups. I didn't install the shower diverter stem (the original was stuck much worse than the faucet stems--which were themselves a real bear to loosen) and I was afraid I could break loose some of the old (probably cheap) plumbing behind the wall. The original shower diverter still works great. If it ain't broke… I'm just going to swap in the shiny new knob. And again, it’s always nice to have a backup. I'm very pleased with this fix/refurbish and highly recommend it. Fixing an annoying shower leak is very satisfying, but so is bypassing jerk plumbing dudes, saving hundreds of dollars, and adding useful tools to your collection.
Review: I didn't have to rip the bathroom wall apart or switch faucets - I have a bathtub faucet that is probably close to 50 years old. I really didn't want a new flimsy plastic single handle faucet and I was not looking forward to the wall being ripped apart for new plumbing. Unfortunately I was at the point where the build up was so bad it fused the screws to the handles and the hot water handle snapped off. I found a video online that showed the Danco Bathtub remodel kit. I couldn't find a name anywhere on the handles so I removed an escutcheon and found a few numbers when I searched those numbers it told me it was a Gerber faucet part and I knew which kit to order. The hardest part was getting the other old handles off. The new valves installed fairly easily and the special wrench was a necessity to get the old ones off and new ones on. I probably had the water shut off no more than 45 minutes to install 3 new valves and then I had a working faucet and shower again with no leaks, no holes, and no costly plumbers. Under $50 thanks this is a great DIY kit that gave new life to a very old faucet. (before and after)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I installed this and they are too deep into the wall.  What can i use to extend the handle out farther?**
A: Use DANCO Stem Extension Kit in Brass for Price Pfister Faucets (Home Depot)

**Q: How do I know that this will fit. Other than Gerber on the existing handles I can not find any model numbers , will the stem fit?**
A: It fit for me with no problem.  It comes with the wrench to remove the guts so you don't have to buy that extra.  I could not get the little brass pieces off of the old and left the old ones on and it works ok.  That was obviously not my leakage problem.  You'll see what I'm talking about when you receive the kit.

**Q: Does it fit sayco s308l?**
A: Thank you for contacting Danco. No, this trim kit will not work for your application.

**Q: Do I need to use tape or sealant for the valve stem seats?**
A: Thank you for reaching out to us. It is not usually needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Great, but came damaged
*by H***D on April 21, 2024*

The kit worked great and went on easy. Unfortunately, it came with a broken screw cover for the hot handle. (the little plastic cover with an "H" on it) I would have returned it, but we needed the shower fixed to use it, so I suppose its good enough.
