Delta T17038-SS Lahara Valve Trim, 9.00 x 8.00 x 0.06 inches, Stainless

I want separate controls for water pressure and water temperature. That way I can leave the temperature setting alone and just turn the water pressure on and off. I don't have to keep searching for the water temperature I want, and I can increase or reduce the water pressure as needed.We tried one of these in our summer house and liked it so much, we replaced the shower control in our bathroom in our permanent home with this same product. It's very attractive too.

This replaced my old one which was 15 years old. The handle had some corrosion and the cartridge inside of the shower wall was making a creaking noise. The top thing to know is this comes with the actual cartridge as well, so don't buy a separate one for $50. It doesn't state it in the description, but it's included. Other reviews have stated the same thing. This was easy to install and everything is working smoothly like butter now. Looks great.

I have an older 1700 series and this worked just fine. I did have to grind one of the extra tabs off the "valve guts" since the newer style has two and reuse the double o-ring like seal inside but otherwise a perfect fit and works very good. Only oddity is the hot/cold control doesn't quite line up with the red/blue area but that's not any issue. On a side note: don't bother ordering straight from delta. After 2 weeks they still haven't shipped it. Amazon had it to me in 2 days.

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.

I really appreciate the separate controls for water volume and temperature, versus my previous universal control.

I used this Kit to replace a 2006 17T Delta Monitor Duel Shower/tub handle. I needed to replace thecartridge but then I discovered the gaskets on the back plate also needed replacing. It was cheaper to buy this kit rather than the cartridge and back plate separately. It comes with a cartridge but for some reasonthey don't tell you that. So I took a chance and ordered it. It came with. the exact cartridge I needed. I am a soon to be 80 year old woman and I was able to install it myself. It is the same quality as the original.

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.

We had a leaky old Delta shower faucet (3-tube valve body with a rotary ball). We upgraded the valve body to the Multichoice R10000 (not an easy job) but needed a new trim kit to complete the installation. We chose this because it’s the least expensive 17 series faucet available. It has two handles for independent volume and temperature controls.The installation is straightforward but a bit tricky. When installing the cartridge, you must push it tight into the two side notches while tightening the bonnet nut, otherwise the volume handle will just go all around without start/stop, with water leaking continuously due to the incorrect seating of the cartridge.One surprising benefit is that the cover plate is bigger than the regular size. This makes an upgrade easier because it covers the existing hole better.Overall this is a great buy.
