A picture of the trim may help to identify it.

It appears to be Grohe -- There's a good chance that stem/cartridge is discontinued, if not, it's going to be pricey. Whats you problem -- water temp not working proper , continous leak/dripping when valve is off , water pressure problem ?

 

[timplemons]

temp and flow low, cleaned it and increased improvement alot, ty I'll search grohe out

Search Grohemix -- If it's a old grohemix you should check the check valves , they can cause/contribute to your problem.

This sure looks like it. But like IFIXH20 said it's big bucks for just a pressure balance cartridge.

Sure looks like an early Grohe.
