Hi All,
We'd like to improve the look of our stand-up shower by replacing the old brass Delta fixtures. The main fixture is a single knob handle (clear plastic). Our main goal is to replace it with a brushed silver fixture that's a bit more modern and matches the rest of our bathroom. I've removed the fixture and realized that it may not be an easy swap out. Attached is a picture of what I am looking at right now (I just got the ball piece out so the left picture is current state). I tried removing that piece on the end (up to the black ring), but it didn't budge easily and I didn't want to break anything. Can I just remove that piece on the end and swap it out with the new fixture? I purchased a Price Pfisher set to replace it but I'm wondering if I have to replace the valve to get it to work. Are there any sets available where I could do an easy swap out or will I have to replace the valve (hire a plumber) no matter which replacement I purchase?
Thanks!
