Type of fixture ?

I was hoping that someone could identify the above pictured fixture. I need to replace the cartridge in it. From what I know it is about 30 years old. Thanks to all

I’d guess delta or moen but hard to tell. You’ll have to remove cartridge to see what you need.

Steps to remove:

1. Shut off water
2. Pop the plastic trim off the control handle
3. Remove center screw and control knob
4. From there you should be able to remove face plate to access valve body and cartridge.
   

This video walks through the process nicely.

That is a Moen shower valve. They make two replacement cartridges. Purchase both and return the one that doesn't fit.

If it is as old as you say, and It looks like it is, it would be the older version of the two types that they offer.

Will OP require a puller to extract cartridge?

Moen 1225 cartridge replacement. It comes with a plastic tool to put over the old cartridge to spin it so it comes out easily.Make sure the water pressure is off it.

After you turn the water in the basement off….with the knob off and sliding off the chrome plated tube, you must be sure to remove the hair pin…horse shoe shaped clip from the valve.

That white nylon tool usually comes with the new cartridge. Rotate the cartridge around and back and forth. You can put a screwdriver shaft thru the hole in the cartridge shaft to pull as you rotate.

I then take a 3/4" copper fitting brush to clean out the body.

Then flush it by turning on the water for a few seconds.

I have someone hold something like a vac cleaner hose over the body to avoid a mess and get a longer flush.

Don't forget the hair pin clip.

Get the brass cartridge. Mad Dog

Time was when the Moen rep would give you a handful of cartridges. Since they were sold as lifetime warranty.

I actually like the plastic cartridges better. They seem slippery and less prone to scaling up.

Hi, Gotta comment on the brass cartridge. Moen had a problem with crossover with that cartridge, They advised me to go with the plastic one instead. I've never had a problem with the (polysulfone) plastic ones. 🤔
