Does anyone recognize a Moentrol single-tilt-lever shower control? Where the lever rotates for temperature, and tilts to adjust flow? The lever TILTS, does NOT push in/out. Like a typical kitchen sink single-lever control. I purchased and installed it somewhere around year 2002. I had encountered a similar tilt/rotate Grohe in Europe about that time frame.
When I went to buy another Moentrol for a 2nd shower years later, I wound up with the push in/out type. Moen sales told me there had never existed such a tilt version.
The tilt linkage is janky and and fiddly to adjust the cartridge into proper shut-off position. Maybe the design was considered so bad they terminated it and changed to the push in/out? Or maybe they got in a patent infringement suit with Grohe?
