Tub faucet identification help; please come in.

[JeffKeryk]

I have a studio condo a friend lives in; it is in "lived in" condition. The 3 handle tub faucet is leaking. Swapping valve and seat is easy enough, but I am not sure how to identify what I am working on. Any advice? I guess take it apart and go to home store?
I don't even know where the water stut off is; I HOPE I can just shut off his condo and not the building or whatever... Sheesh.

Thanks in advance!

We have a local Hardware store McClendon's just walk in and show them that picture and you'd have your answer in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I'd say that is rarely the case at Home Depot or Lowes.

Looks like Price Pfister. But you can't be certain until you take it apart.

@JeffKeryk

Have you not had this issue before here? If not disregard.

Anyway, be very ginger with the faucet......you will have to remove the cartridges and take them up to the supply house to get parts.

I think @walterjay is correct, but I would not be mad at him if he is wrong. Nearly all those older 3 handle non tempering valves look identical.

replace the hot and cold. likely the hot is the one dripping.

Delta has a kit that is used to retrofit those 3 handles with an r10000 delta valve.....plumbing skills required though.

If you do find the parts, clean the area where the cartrdige with a toothbrush and get the little nasties out.

Sometimes on the back side of the trim rings or even back of the hot/cold caps you can find a mfg name to point you in the right direction.

Chatgpt?

We used it yesterday to identify a grass problem.

No way to tell the manufacturer just looking at handles you know. About the only thing to do is going to be turn off water and remove the valves and take them to hardware store. An Ace Hardware or a Plumbing Store will be so much more helpful to you compared to those big box hardware places where the employees know little to nothing about what they sell.

I agree with @tnt_motorsports. Pull the valves, take a picture and upload it to AI. You might get lucky, otherwise, it's off to a well stocked non-big box hardware store.

looks like the moen.

Most condos / apartments have the water shut off at the hot water heater. It's traditionally a red lever. I worked apartment maintenance for a while. Be careful as some newer faucets don't have traditional metal seats but a plastic cartridge with a metal washer at each end. I had to replace an untold number of cartridges as Tennants would crank down on them breaking them. Let me know if you have any questions.

I second burbguy82s comments. Definitely clean or scrub out the pipe. And if it is a cartridge definitely lube it unless it says otherwise.

Good luck getting the little screw under the cap to release, then expect the chromed bent pipes they used behind to be nice and crusty.

Delta or Peerless

A lot of these are pretty standard stems with handles, and judging by the appearance it's possibly aftermarket replacement handles.
