This shower/tub handle (pics included) in my sister's apartment looks like it was originally a "Mixet" that someone in the past (close to 20 years ago) modified with a No-Mix valve. The sticker on the wall plate is a big clue, along with the overall look of it.
The handle is currently extremely stiff and difficult to move, especially pulling to turn on & pushing to turn off....you kind of have to turn & pull to get the water going. The temperature adjustment & water pressure seem fine once it's turned on and it doesn't seem to be leaking.
We were planning to replace with this "No-Mix Model 100" part (https://nomix.com/products/model-100) but thought we should make sure before ordering.
Since the water has to be turned off for 4 apartments when doing this, we figured it's better to replace it altogether vs. just the O rings, if that makes sense.
Do you think the "No-Mix Model 100" is the correct part to fix this problem or is there something else you think could be the issue?
