I need to get the knob off this shower valve so I can tighten it up. The valve itself is tight and works well, it is only the knob that is loose, but I can't see a way to remove it.

There is no brand identification anywhere on it. Nor are there any screws or other fasteners visible.

If I could find out what it is, I could get the installation instructions on-line and then know how to remove the knob.

Can anyone identify this valve?

Thanks,
Dave

Phister Avante, the cap on the end spins off I believe and then there will be a screw behind it.
The face plate is held by the round tube that threads in behind the handle.

The chrome cover UNSCREWS, but since it has a rubber gasket under it, it is stuck. Hold the handle and carefully unscrew the cap with a pair of Channelock pliers. As soon as you get it started you can use your palm pressed against it and twisting it, to finish removing it.
