Hi.

I live in an old building and need to replace the shower cartridge.

I need help identifying the type if possible. The standard ones at home depot don't match.

Thanks so much for any help!

I think that's an American standard,newer style
Stem,with Bib screw and washer , the old style
Had what's called a high hat washer that pushes onto the stem,is the handle on the shape of a star??????

I do not know, but i would take it to a real plumbers store.
Yeah I was hoping to find out first since the water is back on and will have to shut it off for several other units in the building. If I cant sort it out I will pull it out and cap it and bring it in to a proper store.
 
American standard valves that I've dealt with look a little different than that, I would take those pic to a plumbing supply house, not the big box stores, and have them look at it most guys at the counter have seen alot of fixtures, unless someone here chimes in, another thing
You could do is contact american standard and send those pics
If you turn the handle over is the translucent plastic were the stem sits in the handle????
