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

How do I get the water hotter 

Asked by: Dave39
Hi, Dave39! Thank you for your question. There is a rotational limit stop (RLS) at the temperature control to adjust the hot water limit. To adjust the RLS, first remove the temperature cover and take a phillips head screw driver and turn the set screw counter clockwise to remove. Remove the gray knob. Behind the knob, you should see a black disk. Take the disk and take it out and place the disk to the hotter side. The hot side should be up against the iron piece that is sticking down on the volume handle. Once adjusted, reinstall all handle parts. Best Regards, Rosanna

How is the temperature knob removed? I can only find installation instructions, not removal. It's very lightweight plastic, and I don't want to snap anything by removing it incorrectly. I'd like to adjust the temperature. Thank you.

Asked by: KimM
Hello KimM, Thank you for your question. The front temperature dial of the Delta Lahara Valve Trim T17038-SS model can be removed by grasping the peice on either side of the part and squeezing together gently. Then grasp the small handle and pull the cover off. You can also use a flathead screwdriver to pry it off. Best regards, Tanya

Would the R10000-UNWSHF valve be appropriate to use with shower only application using this trim?

Asked by: Dy
Hi Dy, Thank you for your question. This trim can be used with the R10000-UNWSHF rough-in for a shower only installation. Best regards, Jon

Is the T17038-SS for SHOWER ONLY application? No Tub. Will the R1000-UNBX valve work for shower only? THANKS!

Asked by: Al
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # T17038-SS is a valve only model and the R10000-UNBX will work for it. We do offer a shower only model that includes the shower head. It is Delta Faucet model # T17238-SS.

Is the 3 setting Diverter Trim Kit T11800SS the same Brilliance Stainless finish as the Lahara Monitor 17 Series Trim Kit T17038SS?

I see in an earlier question and answer that the recommended 3-setting Diverter Trim Kit to go with the Lahara Monitor 17 Series Valve Trim (T17038SS) is the (T11800SS) from the Innovations Collection. That one shows "Stainless Steel" as the finish, as opposed to the "Brilliance Stainless" finish on the Lahara Collection. Are they the exact same finish?
Asked by: Diane
Hi Diane, Thank you for your question. The T11800-SS is the matching diverter trim to the model T17038-SS valve only trim. Both trims are our (SS) brilliance stainless finish. Thanks, Dave

The Lahara Monitor 17 series valve only trim. Does that come with the cartridge and new springs and O-rings?

Asked by: Bill
Thank you for your question! Yes, the trim will include the necessary cartridge and seals for a MultiChoice R10000 valve. If you are using an pre-2006 1700 Series valve, you will need to use the original cartridge or a new RP32104 Cartridge & Seals. Best regards, Jon

How does 17094 compare with 17038?

How does 17094 compare with 17038 other than appearance? Are they comparable as far as features? The descriptions are presented differently but seem to be the same. Thank you.
Asked by: hawaii808
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 17094 and 17038 function exactly the same. The only difference is the style of the series looks different between the two models.
