Good video. I have done this before by purchasing a new multi-turn valve and taking the stem out of it to swap into the existing valve. I did not know you could buy just the stem kit. Thanks!

Is there a benefit to doing what you did compared to replacing the valve?

A new valve, particularly a quarter-turn valve, generally has a longer lifespan than a multi-turn valve. However, replacing the rubber washer in a multi-turn valve is a simple task that any average DIYer like myself can complete within minutes. Most of the time, other parts of the valve are still in good shape even after 20-30 years, and just a washer fix can extend the operability of the multi-turn valve by another 7-10 years. On the other hand, replacing the entire valve is a more complex process that involves removing the compression nut and ferrule and cleaning the pipe for the new ferrule and shutoff valve. Depending on the situation, access to more tools will be required, and a professional plumber may be needed.
