Please tell me the make and model of this. There is no manufacture label on it.

What problem are you having with it?

What problem are you having with it?

I want to replace the cartridge but can’t seem to get to it. I was able to remove the handle and cap.

 

[Jeff Handy]

It is very possible that the big chrome escutcheon over the cartridge can be unscrewed counter clockwise, which will expose the cartridge.

You can try grabbing it hard with just your hands.
You might need a strap wrench, which grabs without scratching.
They are often stuck on tight, and if so sometimes you can tightly wrap four or five layers of duct tape around the escutcheon and grab it with a pair of channel lock pliers.

You can also get pliers with rubber covers that go over the jaws, so they are less likely to dig into the chrome.

Then you might have to unscrew a large nut which holds the valve body tight to the countertop, and then the valve can be removed from below.

Or if you are lucky, once you remove the escutcheon, sometimes the cartridge can just be removed from above.

Thanks Jeff,

I was thinking of the same thing. I just don’t know why there isn’t a logo of some sort on the faucet to identify the manufacture.

 

[Jeff Handy]

Very common to have no name or brand anywhere, even from the big names.

If there is not a name on it the manufacture was not very proud of it . Delta or Moen are the only way to go.
