Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help...
I have attached three pics of my shower valve. The house was built in 1973, and its the original valve. It will not fully shut off the water, and also feels like there's either something pushing back, or it slams shut with a good bang. Neither will completely stop the leak.
Five years ago I had a plumber repair it. He told me it was an old cartridge, and required a special tool. This time I want to do it myself, since I feel its going to fail again in a few years. The reason I called the plummer the last time was once I remove the knob and plate, I couldn't see any other fasteners or threaded components that I could remove next.
1. Can anyone identify the brand/model from the pics I attached?
2. Can you tell me what tool I need to purchase for removal?
Thanks
Mike
