Does anyone know if just the straight stem gasket (rubber) can be bought somewhere like a hardware store? The old one was dried out and I'd like to keep the same matching finish on both pieces. I dug the old one out. (crumbled out) I was just wondering if someone has done this before.
Thanks,
Steve

Call A@l they make new ones. Maybe you can just get the gasket

You can make one from a piece of rubber tubing the right size. Just slice off a thin piece.

I did the same. Took it into the plumbing / hardware store and they matched it perfectly. I think it was an exhorbidant charge like 14 cents. ( lol )

That's what I was planning on doing but just had to ask. You never know. Someone could have found a perfect match to some plumbing fixture or something.
Thanks
