I think that says 04/08, which could be a manufacturing date. The only thing your picture tells us is that it has a square shank using a rotary motion, and "maybe" has a thread to hold that brass plate on. We need a picture of what is under the brass plate, and maybe also the piece inside the valve.

are you selling that software? you could make a bundle!

LOL I was just "messin with the MoD"

I googled it. I just typed in tx1 shower faucet and scanned through the results until I found one that applied to what we are doing here.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a program like that tho? It would be great. I have alot of old faucet books,etc etc

Supply houses usually will give their old books to you.....just ask befo they throw them away.

Hey thanks all!!!

I did try to get the front plate off but as it would not come away easily i did not try to force it.
Does this type have a replaceable cartridge??

Thanks Hackney Plumbing! interesting name for one based in Fl? And a winged Pegasus by any chance?

That is a European valve. Good luck getting parts. It was probably installed by a builder and chosen by a foo-foo designer who had no regards for future issues. The building contractor may know who the distributor is....check with them.

Builder has long since ridden into the sunset!!!!
Am I right in thinking that the front plate should come off?? (ie to remove the cartridge)
