Moen (that is a Moen Chateau shower valve) makes a one and two inch stem extension kit for shower valves using a 1225 cartridge, they also make an adapter kit so you can use new trim with older valves; replace your cartridge while you are at it. When looking for new trim, search "Moentrol trim" on Google.

K thats installed wrong. Probably in 2 places.

  1. the cartridge is likely upside down. the positemp valve has a little notch in it. I BELIEVE that notched edge should face 6pm. here it is facing 12. google the placement for this. its 12 or 6

    The caldwell has this pointing at 6pm so it may vary

  2. the black piece has a part that extends back towards the wall. that piece should be installed just on the left of the valve cover. like in this picture. Your handle will face 6 o clock when installed correctly and only turn counter clockwise

  3. everything is probably stripped

Previous shower area was around 30 years old. Fake marble walls, small wall niche, leaks in the corners and ugly plumbing.

Over the course of 3 weeks (had to go housesit elsewhere - we only have one bathroom), we gutted the old furnishings down to the studs, built a new niche, added backerboard, waterproofing membrane, new tiles, new fixtures, and had the tub re-furbished (by a pro).

If anyone's curious, here's some products we used.

We learned as we went with this (also made many mistakes that thankfully aren't too bad on completion). Upon gutting the shower - found a bit of mold growing on the old green board backing material. Was actually better than expected. We also didn't want to swap out the old 2 knob faucet for something newer (required more plumbing work than we wanted) so we ordered a 3 knob version and just used two of the knobs/stems. Works great.

And a ton of knowledge from this incredibly useful YouTube channel.

Well I found This One and Another One
Both of them are very similar, but I shall keep looking

Edit: it seems like you’re missing a plastic piece that goes over the screw in the middle of the handle, did you ever have that? If you did do you know what color was in the middle?

> Fancy ish handles, boring spout $1600

Found it on Amazon for $614. What a steal! /s

It might be a handle from an old sink/faucet. The one in this link obviously isn't the same, but the threaded bit is similar.

Your handles caught my eye. I had a similar issue. These are a cheap easy fix. Danco, Inc. 88172 3-Prong Small Universal Handle, for Use with Mobile Home and Rv Faucets, Acrylic, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YF9SSO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7Ln4BbMFTNFBY

In case anyone ever finds this thread, I figured it out. I was just stupid. I always interpreted the back labels to mean, spin the knob for different temperatures. You actually just spin the back circular piece. I figured that out when I found this: Amazon.com - Temperature Control.

This one is pretty close.

I imagine you could just get a pretty cheap pair at your local big box hardware store.

This might work.

I recently purchased this Moen handle to replace my current knob. I realized today that the new handle does not fit the cartilage due to the size difference. Do I have to replace the cartilage with a cartilage that is compatible with the Moen handle (Moen 1225 Cartilage) and if so will it be easy to do?

Thank you!
