Answer:

Thank you for your question. Using Delta Faucet model # RP54870 will not change the way you operate the faucet. You will still need to push up the lever and then turn it to the left or right.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP54870PB is the update in Polished Brass for your 600 series tub and shower. You will need to also purchase model # RP2865 plug for your push button diverter. The kit will include everything but your showerhead, diverter tub spout, and your shower arm and flange. Those peices will need to be chosen separately.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. When upgrading with Delta Faucet RP54870RB if you already had a lever handle on your faucet, we recommend not using the conversion ball that is included with the new kit.

If you had a crystal ball and have now switched to a lever handlel using the conversion ball included with your kit, your hot and cold may not be switched. The lever handle turns so that the top of the handle points to the temperature of the water. When the hot water is on, the bottom of the lever will be pointing to the right. When the cold water is on, the bottom of the lever will be pointing to the left.

Does the renovation kit work with the 600 series shower faucet that came with a metal handle?

Greg

I believe that my shower faucet has the RP70 stainless ball in the valve and not the RP212 that the kit references. Is the RP20111 a replacement or upgrade for the RP70? I am pretty sure the valve body is the same.

Thanks

I would like to get the renovation kit for the 600 series tub and shower, but what tub spout will fit into the existing piping?

Erin

The tub spout I have screws on to a male coupling. Are there any delta tub spouts that will go with the 600 series renovation kit in the bronze color? The piping sticks out about 1.5 inches from the wall.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP54870RB is the Venetian Bronze finish. It will most closely match the Oil Rubbed Bronze finish. You then will need to pick out a showerhead, tub spout, and showerarm and flange with model numbers that contain RB on the end so it will all match.

Do you have to take a part the wall to make this conversion from a push button diverter to spout diverter? It is unclear in your answer above.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP54870SS is a renovation kit for the 600 series. If you do have a diverter on your escutcheon plate, you will also need to purchase the RP2865 push button diverter plug and then pick a tub spout that has a diverter included on it.

To use this part, you will need to make sure the water is off. After installing the ball assembly, you will need to insert this plug into the hole where the push button diverter was so it will be plugged up.

ow to convert from push-in diverter to tub spout diverter?

Julie

Johnson City, TN, USA

I have a 600 series faucet with the crystal ball. If I use this renovation kit RP54870, is there anything else I need to do to convert it to a tub spout diverter other than just buying RP19895 and the plug cap RP2865. Any plumbing additions or alterations or just screw on new tub spout?

It appears the the after this conversion kit is installed push button divertor is not needed. Is that true?

P-Mack

How is the water then diverted between the tub faucet and the shower head? Do I need to buy other items to completely convert the 600 series into the 1300 series?

Answer:

Thank you for your question. When using Delta Faucet model # RP54870, if you had a push button diverter on your escutcheon plate, it can no longer be used. There is a plug for the push button diverter under model # RP2865. You will then need to purchase a tub spout wiht a diverter. This kit also does not include the showerhead or the shower arm and flange.
