Who makes this thing / where can I find replacement parts? It was a Moen Cartridge!
I have a leaky shower, it never stops leaking, no matter the handle position. It doesn't leak at the handle, it leaks at the shower head.
So, I took apart the blasted thing, and nobody that I have went to knows anything about it.
Here is some pics that I took.
The stem has a screen in it...
I would want to replace the dang blasted thing, but as you can see in the pic, the sucker is soldered in, and there is no room to get a tourch into that area! In fact, there was a 6" 2x4 that wasn't fastened in that hole, I guess to prevent people from pulling the handle too hard, well, that thing fell down. So it now rattles the whole blasted pipe when you try to move the handle now.
Any ideas who makes this thing? There is no brand name, or part # or anything like that on it, and it is at least 30 years old.
If no ideas on that, got any ideas how to replace it? I don't think the wife would want me to cut a hole in the wall to get access to the pipes.
About all I know, is that Ace, Home Depot, Lowes, and meenards have no clue who makes it., and it isn't listed in their books.
