I live in a house made many years ago with vintage fixtures. When my land lord came to repair he took out the old stems to find out at a hardware store that they just don't make that type anymore. I was told that I would need to replace the pipes in the wall behind the tub and insall new pipes by cutting out a section from top to bottom and then I could get new fixtures for new stems. Is this true? If so where can I get a layout of this in the way of a diagram which would show what kind of pipes to use.

This doesn't answer your question, but why are you doing something your landlord should be doing? What did your landlord say about this?
