Bath Faucet - ID or How-To Adjust

[Jon Oshima]

Hello Plumbers!
I bought these bath faucets sometime in the last ten years from one of the big box stores, and don't remember the brand or model. They work fine, but as you can see the handle needs tightening. Other than feeding it some ED meds, can you give me any hints as to how to do that?
Thank you in advance...

Is the whole assembly loose or just the handle if it's all try threading the bottom part clock wise , I also thought I saw some writing at about 8 o'clock if you were looking at a clock

It’s only the handle that’s coming loose. And what you saw is not a label or writing. It’s residue of tape I used protect that part when I tried to twist that part with a slip joint plier. Still mystified, but thanks for the reply!

Try turning this part counter clockwise to remove it, then look inside it for a screw.

Turns out it was the flange ring below that part that needed to be unscrewed AFTER loosening the three screws on the underside - their back pressure made it impossible to loosen the part until they were loosened. Thanks again - your reply got me motivated to try again!
