Hello,
I googled a question and found this forum. Been reading and learning a lot THANKS. The extent of my plumbing has been to replacing a sink faucet a couple times. I'm trying to fix up a house. I would like to replace the tub and shower trims and handles, without removing any of the tiles or replacing the ones that already have holes in them (I can get to everything from the back right now). After a couple trips to habitat resale, and some Craigslist ads I have collected different trims then the valve and stems I have. I have now discovered that I have a 3-handle, price pfisher diverter (I think that’s what you call it) in the wall. Anyway, it has a knob for hot, cold, then when you turn the middle one it sends the water from the tub spout up to the showerhead. And I have bought Moen trims, tub spout, and handles.
HERE'S THE QUESTION: Can I either buy Moen stems and fit them with the price pfisher (pp) valve body, or can I just put the Moen trims and handles on the pp stems? Is it all right to mix and match that way?
If anyone else has been in this situation could you please advice me so I don't have to repurchase trims ect, or change the valve in the wall.
I have already figured out that if there is a next time I will figure out what I have in the wall first.
Thanks ahead for help!!!
