please help identify tub/shower faucet
Author: inheritedfaucet (CA) My shower faucet does not turn off, and I think I need to replace the cartridge. There is no identifying branding on any of the parts. American Standard, Grohe, Porcher, and Jado have all said it is not theirs. Can someone identify the manufacturer from these pics? I'd rather not cut into the wall to replace the whole thing. Thank you so much for checking this out!

Author: PlumberLoren (CA) I have never seen anything like this one. It must be European but just a guess. Maybe Asian too. Lots of luck locating the maker of this one.

Author: North Carolina Plumber (NC) It's a first for me as well. You need to pull the cartridge out and compare it to the cartridges in an online catalog.
