Rated 3 out of 5 by from Jury still out on this one I was so excited to get a faucet with the dual controls for volume and temperature, but am very disappointed by the performance. The water is hot when the volume is all the way up (as with any faucet handle), but when I try to reduce the flow, the temperature also changes to cold (even though the temperature handle remains dialed to hot). This is the same awful functionality I had before with the single control faucet. I want to be able to have low volume for a minute or two without freezing to death! I will say that my very capable plumber really struggled to get this installed because there were no instructions included in the package. Now that I've found the online manual I will show it to him to double check the installation, and will update my review if we find an error. But for now, this product is not living up to its advertisement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great This works great. It's nice not to have to adjust the temperature each time, just turn it on.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Perfect until it wasn’t Exactly what I wanted to compliment my shower. Everything you need in one piece except the shower head. ONE MAJOR PROBLEM: blue to red water temperature indicator became loose and peeled off before it was ever used. I’ve wanted a replacement except I don’t want to have to pay a plumber to remove and reinstall the replacement.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst shower faucet I've had in 60 years I give this 1 star because no stars isn't an option. My 15 year old Delta shower faucet started leaking so had plumber install in a new one. He selected this. His reasoning was you can set the temp and never move it. Reality? No you can't because there is more than one person in the house and even if it was just me, that still doesn't work. The water flow is so restricted (1.7gpm) that if I leave it set it takes several minutes for the shower to reach temp. Turning it to full hot, it still takes close to a minute and my shower is less than 10 feet from the water heater. Next problem is the scald guard. Had to remove it and cut about 1/2 of it off in order for water to get hot enough to satisfy my wife, this after turning the water heater up to 145. The 1.7gpm renders my 2.5gpm shower head virtually useless due to lack of pressure. Lastly, the quality. While the trim ring and main handle are metal, the temp control handle is just a thin metal cap over plastic which makes for very poor fit and finish. We've been using this thing for about a month now and I can already tell the inside that actually hold it to the mechanics will break by the end of the year. Final take, this is a very cheap faucet that will require a complete replacement within a few years. For reference, my house is 32 years old and this i only the 3rd faucet we've had in the shower, replaced in the past due to the parts to service the valve being discontinued.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delta Lahara Monitor 17 Series 1-Handle Volume and Temperature Control Valve Trim Kit in Chrome Love my new Delta. It does exactly what I want - let’s me adjust the temperature of the water so that when I turn the water on and off and I don’t have to readjust it when I’m in the shower.

Q&A

When I order T17038, what parts are included? The parts list I pulled up related to this # showed accessories as well as faucet parts and I couldn't distinguish. Thanks.

Asked by: Jim70
Hello Jim70, Thank you for your question. The Delta Lahara T17038 is a dual control Valve only trim kit. This kit included the escutcheon plate, screws, trim sleeve, cartridge assembly and volume and temperature handles. Best regards, Tanya

What accessories go with this?

I am planning a tub to shower conversion and do not plan on having the tub spout at all. I have # 57014 showerhead and sliding bar, # 50560 elbow, and understand I need # R1000-UNBX valve. If I get T17038, is that everything I need for a new shower only setup? Thanks!
Asked by: mary
Thank you for your question. If you are using Delta Faucet model # 57014 as your main showerhead, then you have all the components you will need for a complete shower only set-up.

what is the differences between 17t series and 17 series?

does either cartridge need to be maintained?
Asked by: bj
Hi bj, Thank you for your question! Both series operate the same and do not require regular maintenance. The Monitor 17 series is pressure balanced. The TempAssure 17T series is thermostatic, which provides a more precise temperature control. The 17T series will also provide more flow from the valve if you are building a customer shower with multiple components. Best regards, Jon

Do I need to caulk around the edges of the trim against the tile?

Asked by: Derek
Hi, Derek! Thank you for your question. We do recommend to use a bit of silicon sealant to seal the trim of the Delta T17038 unit against the tile. Best Regards, Rosanna

Why is the oring packaged in the same plastic bag with the bolts/hardware? I hope my trim does not leak once I install it because of a damaged oring.

Asked by: paprikaspiroska
Hi paprikaspiroska, Thank you for your question. The o-ring in the photo goes under the trim sleeve that covers up the valve body and helps hold the trim sleeve in place. The o-ring is not used to seal water from leaking. Thanks, Dave

Will the T17038 trim kit work with a 1500 series valve?

Asked by: jmo6259
Hi, jmo6259! Thank you for your question. The Delta Monitor T17038 Trim Kit will fit the Delta 1500 Series Valve if the original escutcheon plate has the screw holes at the 1 & 7 o'clock position. The new cartridge, RP46463, that is included with the Monitor T17038 Trim Kit, will not fit the 1500 Series Valve. The original cartridge, RP32104, will need to be used. Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social if further assistance is needed.
