Need Help Identifying Shower Trim/Valve

[Inexperienced Homeowner]

Hi there!

My wife and I recently bought our first detached home! We bought a Moen Trim Kit for our upstairs bathroom, however, when the plumber we hired to install it (among many other things) came to do the work, he said he could not install it because he has never seen this valve before. Couldn't recommend any other brand either; Delta, etc. Hoping someone, somewhere out there can assist. We don't want to gut the entire tub/shower due to the over-tiling done by the previous owner. We'd IDEALLY like to discover what brand this is so we can replace the trim for something more aesthetically pleasing, using the existing valve.

Thanks!

Might be Gerber.

Yeah, you can't mix and match

That was an import cartridge that was originally used by Huntington.

I think at least a handful of companies use that generic cartridge, and brand it as their own.
Including some store brands like HD and Lowes.
What the OP needs to know is what brand is his trim, so he can replace it with something that will fit his valve.
Whatever brand name, or names, of new trim kits will fit this probably generic valve body.
