My grandparents live in Puerto Rico, and I recently bought them new Moen showerheads (a 5.5 inch Moen Engage with Magnetix for the master bathroom, and a Moen Adler 4-function for the secondary bathroom).
Now, I am thinking about replacing the valve trim on their early 1990s Delta valves, since they are looking worn out.
Based on the way that these valves operate, it seems like they operate like a Delta 600 since you can rotate them in an arbitrary direction like a ball. However, their trim has levers instead of the more common "crystal ball". I wonder, could you identify what type of valve this is for I can find the right trim kit? As far as I know they were never upgraded.
Or am I better off buying whole new Moen Posi-Temp valves for optimal performance with the Moen showerheads? Interestingly I have the same 5.5 inch Moen Engage with Magnetix showerhead at my own home and it works fine with our Delta MultiChoice valve, so that could also be an option if the entire valve needs to be replaced.
