Is this your part?
Pull the handle, sleeve and escutcheon and back the stem out. It measures about 4-13/16 in. end to end, has a 16-point splined broach at the handle end and a seat washer and screw on the threaded tip. It sits behind the left or right handle, with the diverter stem behind the center handle.
When to replace it
The tub spout keeps dripping with the handles shut, water weeps out past a handle, or a handle has gone stiff to turn. A worn stem or seat washer is the usual cause.
