How do replace the shower valve?
Hi, I have the attached valve that I am looking to replace. Can I use any type of shower handle with this type of valve? If not, how do I find the proper match for the shower handle? Thank you, Claud.

I'm not 100% positive but likely not. They're all designed specifically for the brand and are not universal, so you'll need to find out what brand it is, then look it up. Or, if you can't figure it out, it's not too late to get an entirely different one.
Call the maker of your present brand and see what is compatible. We changed out our shower handle with no problems. You could just take it with you to Lowes or Home Depot and see what they say.
Hi! I found this tutorial that shows different types of valves and explains how they work. I would stick with the same parts that work with your setup.

The handle is the easy part. As long as it fits the valve.

I'd take this picture into your local hardware store and they should be able to help you find the correct part you need.
Hi, Usually when you purchase a new shower balance valve, it comes with a handle. If you are trying to match up with a old one, then find a used building supply place and see what they have. Good luck
If you have access to the back of the wall, I would open the wall, replace the valve, and then patch the wall.
