These European machines have "English" (Whitworth) threads on the hose connectors. They look like American standard (NPT/NPS) threads used on everything here in the States, but are slightly different. Consequently, your hook-up hoses are special, having American NPS threads at the faucet end, and Whitworth threads at the Washer end.
Buy them from Malber. You can find Malber Distribution Corp online, or call them at 516-323-5299. Tell them Mike, in DC, says hi.

Hi nanbooboo...
Sorry
Your problem shower control valve is ok, but the shower pull that turns on the shower is non-repairable.
Replace your shower controller with a new one if you want to solve this leakage problem.
Please take time to rate me

It is likely that the o-rings have worn or broken down and are in need of replacement. Pfister provides a Troubleshooting Guide to walk you through possible solutions:

The most common reason for basement leakage is from the seal at the drain or the seal behind the overflow. With the overflow, the water trickles down after bouncing off your body and back onto the tub. This possibility MUST be eliminated first before determining the next step, Turn on the cold water and fill the tub and let the water go into the overflow for about 5 minutes. This will simulate someone in and using the shower. Check for leaks in the basement.

This test, as simple as it is, will also implicate bad plumbing connections at the valve itself behind the wall as well as eliminate backsplash from the showerer bouncing back onto your control valve(s).

If you have a leakage, wait a day and, with the drain open, turn on the hot/cold valve(s). and waste some water for another 5 minute test. This test eliminates the overflow as a suspect, and with the drain open almost always eliminates the drain as well. Hey..in plumbing there are no perfect answers.

If you still have leakage and no one is showering you have pretty well isolated the valve or connections to the valve. If you don't have leakage, it points to water bouncing off the body and onto the control valve(s) at which point resealing would be in order.

You can get leakage also if the caulking around the tub where the tub meets the wall has gone south. Stamped out steel tubs (common in rental apartments) have open corners so if the wall-to tub caulking is poor then the shower bounce off the body will easily trickle to the basement. This is not an issue with cast iron or fiberglass/plastic tubs.

If these tests truely point to the valve(s), repost your ? and refer to the drain tests completed, and supply as much information as you can about the brand and age of your valve(s)

This might mean that the diverter in that controls the sprayer needs replacing. It is located behind the valve body underneath the tub spout sleeving

turn off water remove handle and check retaining nut remove cartridge and check o-rings for damage or replace replace and tighten cartridge check for leak

You are probably missing the clip that holds it together.

It may be easier to just replace the tubspout/diverter with a new one.

Most just screw off, some are mounted with an allen screw on the underside and use washers to prevent leakage.

Replacement time 15 min. Cost 12 bucks.

Rebuild the diverter and you may make several trips to the stor just to find tyhe right parts. You will still have an old diverter/spout. and take just as much time repairing it.

it sounds like your cartrage is leaking or it's the connection between the handle and the spout

what part of the hose? on some grohe's there it an o-ring on the end that threads into the bottom of the faucet that sometimes can leak if not installed right. but replacements can be found through your local wholesaler, not home depot or any hardware store.
