What kind of cartridge would be need for this shower faucet?

[Snoop1984]

This faucet is leaking under the crystal part when turned on. I figure it probably needs a new cartridge. What kind of cartridge does it take? Thank you.

Are you sure it's a Moen?

Are you sure it's a Moen?

yup, says Stanadyne on the eschutcheon and screws match.

Just pop off the silver disc on the handle with a knife blade, remove the screw and handle, and then pull off the metal sleeve over the cartridge.

Then post a pic of cartridge is there now, to erase all doubt.

There’s no doubt, it’s a Moen

We know that, I guess I was trying to teach the OP the process for next time, I explained myself poorly.

And by opening it up, it verifies visually which type of Moen valve and cartridge it is, for those who don’t know the trick with the screw pattern, or what Stanadyne means.
