Danze Parma, How do I get the single handle shower (no set screw) faucet off?

[Robert Lee]

I cannot take off the single handle shower faucet in the bathroom. There was no secret screw and I am not able to twist the whole thing off.

Can anyone tell me the brand and model number, and how to get the darn thing off?

Normally when there is no set screw, the back part unthreads. The part right behind the lever handle. Maybe someone will know the brand here.

Thanks. Are there any DIY videos dealing with this type of faucet?

This is Danze Parma. Terry is right that the back side of the handle screws off counterclockwise.

There appears to be a set screw for the diverter lever and it would need to come off before the backplate does.

The diverter handle is held on by a clip located behind the plate. It will off with the escutcheon.

Thanks for the info. The parts diagram does show a Allen wrench that it usually for a set screw.

I just pulled the handle off one of our display models and yes. They cylinder behind the handle rotates off which pushes the handle off its spline stem which should allow the face plate to be removed.
