I want to replace my handles ( and only the handles not valves) on a 3 valve Tub/shower faucet. Where can you find just handles? If you could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I tried a plumbing supply store and they only carried the whole system.
Thanks so much.

Both of the cities that I've worked in had that one special hardware store that carried replacement stems & handles etc. They've saved a lot of tile. Some handles, like Price-Phister, are easy to find. Some are made of unobtainium. The one-size-fits-all handles don't seem to work for very long.

Hey thanks for the suggestion, I would not have thought of the hardware store angle. I need Price Phister, and I am glad they are easy to find. thanks again

Home Depot Supply www.hdsupply.com or Grainger should have a good selection of PP faucet handles, if you cannot find them locally. Good luck !
