grohe valve and trim

Author: zig (MI)

i am helping a friend with some plumbing repairs. he has a grohe shower system that due to some extreme cold temps and lack of use has some burst pipes and a split in the valve. the house was built in the 1980's. he recently purchased a grohe rough in valve 34 397 000. this valve has 3/4 in fittings, the old has 1/2. my question is i'm not sure that the new valve is compatible with the old trim kit? is there a way to check? the only markings on the old valve are these

grohe t-type
asse 1016
a112 18.1m
made in germany

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Author: packy (MA) grohe makes great quality products but their trim is most difficult to install. personally, I would return the grohe valve and get a delta or moen. i'm guessing the trim will not fit the new valve body.
