Q:Will this trim kit work with a model 1700 purchased in 2000?
by|Nov 1, 2019
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Hi DP,
Thank you for your question, DP! Yes, the Delta Lahara Shower Trim T17238-RB as well as all other Delta 17 series trim kits can be used on an older 1700 series valve body. However, you will need to continue using the RP32104 cartridge as the newer MultiChoice cartridge that is included with this kit, will not fit into the older valve body.
Best regards,
Tanya

A: No, this is not the same product.
by|May 5, 2023
A: Thank you for your question, dondi. The 17 Series has a volume control hand and a temperature control knob on the front. The 14 series operates by rotating the handle counter-clockwise from the off position at 3'oclock and increasing in temperature as you turn it. The 14 series does not have a volume control.

A: Yes, via the small lever. The idea is to set it to your ideal temperature and then you don't have to adjust the temperature every time you turn it on.

Answer This Question
A: I bought the R10000-UNWSHF - the high flow valve with shut-offs built in.
by|May 5, 2023
A: Get the UNBX if only for a shower.
by|May 5, 2023
A: Not sure this helps, but it was the standard value. We have used it in 4 houses over and over many years, stands up well.
by|May 5, 2023
A: Hi, BttrFly!
Thank you for your question. Any Delta Multichoice rough valve body will work with the T17238-SS. For shower only, we would recommend a high flow rough valve, R10000-UNBXHF.

Q:Can a 25 year old Delta shower valve be repaired without tearing out the shower wall?
by|Jan 2, 2018
3 Answers
Answer This Question
A: Hi,
It depends on what is wrong with your shower valve. Typically, only the cartridge needs replacing, as that is generally the only part that wears out. That can be easily accessed without tearing out the shower wall, by removing the handles and trim plate. Installation is relatively simple, and the cartridge should be readily available. At this time, you can also replace the handles and trim plate with updated ones. Before going to purchase a new cartridge, make sure and check what model your shower valve is. It is denoted on the trim plate, usually the lower word on the plate, as an example: The top word on the name plate would be Delta, and the bottom word might be Monitor. Also take the old cartridge with you, if you can. It will save a lot of trouble. Make sure and turn off the water supply to the shower valve before removing the cartridge. Good Luck

Q:will this fit a 600 series ?
by|Nov 28, 2017
3 Answers
Answer This Question
A: No, it is for a Series 17 valve.
by|May 5, 2023
A: Dear Leland,
Thank you for your inquiry! The 600 series can be updated with the RP54870RB Renovation Kit. In order to install the Delta Lahara T17238-RB, which is a different series (17 series), the rough-in valve would first need to be replaced with an R10000 rough-in valve.
Best regards,
Tanya
