The same but different though. I tried to mix once but they make them a touch different so you can't interchange.

I call the Newport brass company and they send parts out free of charge. I do think Webb can get them also. We have used SNES too.

Give this woman a call she is fantastic!
She sent me faxes of valve break downs that you can't find on-line.
Extremely helpful. Tell her Jeff Clark sent you.

How does it operate? turn for hot/cold, and push/pull for on/off? Rotate for temperature at constant full volume?

The mess is the number of postings. The guess is because I have not seen a picture of what the valve looks like, unless I missed something.

That tells very little about what the valve body and stem look like. WHich is the important thing because the handle and trim could be third party mounted to a common body.
