Delta Faucet T17038-SS Lahara Trim Kit - High-Arc Design, Stainless Steel Finish

Connecticut Fan: Exact replacement for a unit that was installed in our bathroom. Took a bit to do the installation - the new one wasn't a problem - installation of it was super easy - but removing the old one took some work. I couldn't get the old parts out, but studied the new one to see how it was assembled, and knowing it was a genuine Delta product, was able to apply pressure to the old unit without breaking anything, to get it removed.

As far as operation, it works just like the old unit; be sure you set the little limit piece to prevent anyone getting scalded if the hot water is not blended down to a reasonable maximum temperature. It's very important as guests not familiar with your plumbing may crank it up to full hot and get injured.

Nice unit, looks nice, and works.

Guy : Took 2x to align due to my inexperience (bit tricky) , came apart easily, repositioned, went together securely. Good design & quality. Yes I would by again!

mustang: To replace the old/stained shower faucet trim, handle, valve cartridge etc. I did not replace the valve body behind the tile ( involved too much work ).
I like everything I replace except the last piece that covers the selector that controls cold & hot water position. The plastic cover just snap on but it fits too loose, that’s was very disappointed.

Susan Clow: This looks so pretty. I had someone install it for me and it took almost no time for him to do it. I love it.

Deb: Install was easy after watching the YouTube videos from Delta. Setting up the temperature was tricky. I just kept moving the black plastic dial until it was the right temperature. The water pressure is great. We did have a problem in the beginning with low pressure. It ended up being some junk stuck in the filter of the shower pipe. Currently the shower is working but it is dripping when in the off position. I can rotate the pressure dial 360 right past the stops. I am working with Delta to resolve this. Too bad this unit uses plastic gears.

Update: worked with Delta support to resolve the issue. Tech support was great. The unit is working perfectly now. This is a company that stands behind its products.

Keith G.Keith G.: I do bathroom remodels for a living and have installed a lot of tub/shower valves over the years. Delta never disappoints. They are easy to install, work flawlessly for years and look great. When other brands are changing all of the trim pieces to plastic, most of the parts in a Delta trim kit are still metal. One thing to note about the rough-in valve body: If you are sweat fitting the pipes directly to the valve body, remove the mounting plate prior to putting a torch on the fittings. The plate is anodized aluminum, and a MAPP gas torch is hot enough to melt it. It won't give you any warning that it's getting too hot. It just suddenly vaporizes. Delta used to make that part out of brass, but not any more. If you take that precaution and follow the rough-in guide for placement (a 2x6 at the back of the soffit pushed up against the drywall at the back puts the valve right where you want it for 3/4" of backer board and tile).

MG: I had an older model of the Delta monitor that has been installed 10 years ago.
This one came with the cartridge and fits perfectly without having to change the rough-in.
Was easy to install and look great..

Amazon Customer: I used it in my en-suite shower.
It is quite good. It doesn’t control the temperature of the water quite as accurately as I thought it would.

Savvy buyer: Product price ordered via Amazon and supplied direct from manufacturer (Delta/Masco) was significantly less than if ordered via big box stores or plumbing suppliers. Delivery was prompt, less than a week, and exactly what I wanted. I've installed a number of these Delta shower / tub temp controllers and very happy with them. Clean simple look. Note that this is just the control cartridge and the handles and covers - you also need to order a Delta "rough-in", which is the metal (brass) assembly which connects to the plumbing piping ie water supply and shower head etc and is mounted in the wall. This "monitor" installs into that rough-in after you have completed the tiling or other wall finishing around the rough-in. Note that you have to be extremely careful to mount the rough-in to the correct depth in the wall, so that AFTER the tiling etc is completed, the rough-in will project just the right amount into the room to allow correct mounting of the monitor cartridge and cover plate. The instructions are all provided - read closely, since impossible to correct once tiled over.
