PRODUCT FEATURES
Featuring clean lines with elegant design details, the Cassidy® Collection is an obvious choice for a timeless, traditionally styled bath. Delta® showers with Monitor® pressure-balance valves are engineered to make sure you don’t experience a sudden and possibly unsafe change in water temperature as a result of running water elsewhere, such as using a dishwasher, flushing a toilet or running a washing machine. With separate handles for volume and temperature control, this Delta shower provides a more refined showering experience. Simply set the water at your preferred temperature and turn the shower on or off with the volume control handle—without interrupting your set temperature. You can install with confidence, knowing that Delta products are backed by our Lifetime Limited Warranty and highly trained, live customer support.
  • COMFORT AND QUALITY: Monitor® pressure balance valve keeps water temperature within a safe ±3.6° F (±1.7° C), helping to protect you from sudden changes in hot or cold water pressure
  • ENHANCED CONTROL: Control volume and water temperature independently with two separate handles for more refined control of your shower experience
  • ADA-COMPLIANT DESIGN: ADA-compliant lever handles make it easy to adjust temperature and volume
  • PRESSURE-BALANCE SHOWER: Monitor® 17 Series dual-function pressure balance cartridge included
  • ROUGH-IN KIT REQUIRED: Trim kit with cartridge only, must order MultiChoice® Universal Valve rough (R10000 series) separately to complete the unit

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cheap inside parts The thing looks amazing on the outside. But you're getting cheap plastic parts that break or wear out on the inside where it matters. Expect to replace parts on this constantly. Delta faucets have a well-earned reputation for looking great, but not lasting. Every time you turn on your shower, you're one step closer to it breaking.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Tub/shower valve Too much plastic ! For what you pay for fixtures

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Nice function. Stains easily. Bought this two years ago along with model 55085 and Shower in the same finish. If you have well water, even though you have a high end water softener, this model will stain badly. Very disappointing. Given the high-end price we paid. We have much cheaper faucet fixtures in the same finish with a different manufacturer that don’t stain at all. Seems like they forgot some kind of seal finish on these fixtures.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Very disappointed Something this expensive should nor have any plastic pieces. Outer beauty ring broke, called Delta for a replacement, they sent me a beautiful metal replacement that doesn't fit on the model I was sent. Don't waste your $$ on this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the function and style! I selected this for all four bathrooms! It is a simple enough design and function that our guests have no problem figuring out to use them to adjust volume or temperature. Perfect complement to all the fixtures selected for our traditional/transitional home. The Brilliant Stainless is my selection for all of them and that color goes perfectly with brushed nickel from other manufactures of bathroom fixtures that I used. Top rating all the way!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Too easy to SCOLD! Pretty, however, this thing can scold you or child or elder with a bump to the volume or temp by accident. Took me 5 minutes to understand and not push wrong direction thinking it did something to help. NOT for small kids or elderly, too easy to scold.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from T17097RB This faucet looks great HOWEVER the circular plate on the front that determines flow of water or temperature (not sure which) pops off every time we use it. We notice it is plastic. Not happy, been on hold for 20 minutes trying to get someone to help us with no response.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Delta Cassidy shower Trim Issue Good looking trim. It had a fitment issue with thermostatic lever. It will not snap flush to the geared piece.

Q&A

What is the MultiChoice Universal rough? And why do I need to purchase it separately?

I am not understanding what it is and what is the difference between with and without. And can you explain the difference between the 17 and the 17T?
Asked by: Sue
Hi Sue, Thank you for your questions. The T17097-PN is the trim that you see on the outside of the wall and the cartridge for the valve body. The R10000 is the Multichoice universal rough in valve, the part that gets plumbed into the wall. You must have both pieces for a complete faucet. The T17 has a dual function pressure balance cartridge that allows you to control temperature and volume on your faucet. The T17T has a dual function thermostatic cartridge to control temperature and volume. The T17T has a higher flow rate and is not affected by the seasonal temperature of the water coming into the faucet. Thanks, Dave

Extension for shower

We just built a new shower. The plumber installed the 17097. Then our tile man did his thing. The shower is now ready for the outside of the faucet to be installed. But the thing that comes out of the wall is too short to work. We cannot chip the new tile out, it would ruin the shower. Is there an an extension we can attach to the whatever it is called that comes out of the wall to attach the rest of the shower faucet to? Help! Thanks Colleen
Asked by: Colleen
Hi Colleen, I am sorry to hear about the trouble that you are having with your faucet and I would be happy to help. Unfortunately, we do not manufacture extensions for our showers. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Parts needed for a shower and tub combi

Hello, I am remodeling and will have a shower and tub combo with 1 shower only. I am getting the 51708 hand held. Here are the parts I think I need. Can you tell me what else is needed to complete tub shower combo please and if the parts I have below will work? I think I'll need something to divert shower to the tub - I do like the cassidy collection and would like to match if posisible. -51708 handheld shower - R10000 UNBX multi tub shower valve - 505060 elbow - RP62149 tub spout - T17097 trim for temp and volume
Asked by: tiffanie
Hi, Tiffanie! Thank you for your question. We would recommend a diverter tub spout. The diverter tub spout in the Cassidy collection is RP72565. Here is a link to the diverter tub spout: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/RP72565 Best Regards, Rosanna

I have a T17097-CZ . I want to adjust the water temp. How do I get the knob off to adjust the water temp.

Asked by: ponycars
Hi, ponycars! Thank you for your question. The temperature knob on the Delta T17097-CZ shower trim kit pulls straight off by hand to remove. Best Regards, Rosanna

The difference in the ceramic cartridge T17T vs the silicone cartridge T17, how does the difference impact the life performance of the unit?

Will the silicone version require replacement or repair after a period of time? Is there a warranty on the silicone vs. the ceramic cartridge? Thanks!
Asked by: Chris
Hi Chris, Thank you for your question. Both 17 and 17T units are covered under our Lifetime Warranty on parts and finish. While the TempAssure cartridge of the 17T series should last longer, both Monitor and TempAssure models are designed to last. Thanks, Jon

What’s the difference between all of the following Rough Valves?

What’s the difference between all of the following Rough Valves? R10000-IP R10000-IPWS R10000-PX R10000-PXWS R10000-UN R10000-UNBX R10000-UNBXT R10000-UNWS
Asked by: Richard
Thank you for your question. The roughs are basically the same, it is just the piping used that makes the difference. The models with IP are used with iron pipe, the models with PX are used with pex pipe, and the models with BX can be used with copper, iron pipe, pex, or CPVC piping. WS stands for "with screwdriver stops" which means you can turn the water off at the shower without turning it off in the whole house. The BX in the model number means it is a single box model. This is only used on the UN model because the R10000-UN has to be ordered in case packs of 12. The T on the R10000-UNBXT means that it is for a thin wall mount which is usually a fiberglass tub.

Can this be Monitor 17 series trim used with a 17T Thermostatic/TempAssure cartridge such as RP47201, or does it have to use a standard 17 series (non Thermostatic/TempAssure) cartridge?

Asked by: Mick
Thank you for your question, MVTX! Although the TempAssure or "Thermostatic" cartridges will fit into the MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valves, they are slightly longer and require a TempAssure 17T to accommodate the difference. The Cassidy series offers a thermostatic version of this trim as model T17T097. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T17T097 Best regards, Edward

Is the stainless steel finish close in appearance to brushed nickel (which is NOT available) or brighter?

Asked by: Don C
Thank you for your question, Don C! Our Stainless Steel finish on the Delta Cassidy Valve Trim T17097-SS model is a very close match to brushed nickel. Best regards, Tanya
