PRODUCT FEATURES

With separate handles for volume and temperature control, this Delta tub/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. While other products may gather unsightly mineral build-up over time, Delta soft rubber Touch-Clean^® spray holes allow any mineral residue to simply be wiped away for an instantly refreshed look – with no need for soaking or the aid of chemical cleaners. Delta^® pressure-balance valves use Monitor^® Technology to protect you and your family from sudden temperature changes. An ornate blend of deep, warm tones and subtle highlights give Venetian Bronze^® a hand-brushed look that can transform a bath. Offering a smooth contrast to light tones and coordinating well with darker ones, this finish can have a beautiful soothing effect on almost any space.

Control volume and water temperature independently with two separate handles for more refined control of your shower experience
Monitor pressure balance valve keeps water temperature within a safe +/-3degrees F (+/-1.6degrees C), helping to protect you from sudden changes in hot or cold water pressure
Spray settings include: Full Body spray
Full body spray provides a steady, full-coverage spray perfect for every shower need, from rinsing shampoo from hair to relaxing tired muscles
Soft, rubber Touch-Clean^® spray holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up from the spray face of your shower head and hand shower with the touch of a finger
Trim kit only, must order MultiChoice Universal Valve separately to complete the unit

Rated 5 out of 5 by BT1987 from Sleek and Functional We are very impressed with finish on this fixture. Looks beautiful against a polished tile. Easy to install, quality materials and good pressure. I am not usually a polished chrome fan, but this one is fantastic.

Does this item come with valve? Can you get a longer rod for shower head?

Asked by: Dan Rodgers

Thank you for your question! Model T17253 does not come included, with the valve body. The model number of the valve body is R10000-UNBX. I have included a link to the valve body's web page, for you to refer to. The RP46870 shower arm, which would be included with this trim is 16 inches long, and that is the longest shower arm that we make. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R10000-UNBX Best Regards, Benjamin

Asked by: Barb

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # T17253-SS-H2O is recommended to be paired with our multi-choice valve, R10000-UNBXHF. This is our universal valve that will work with any application and get the highest flow of water.

Asked by: JD

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # T17253 does not include the valve in the box. It does need to be purchased separately. We recommend the R10000-UNBX rough-in valve.

How do you get the part #4 (control cover) of after installation without breaking the piece. It snapped on easy enough but how do you get it of? I am unable to turn the temperature controll piece more than 10 degrees which does not allow me to adjust any temperature. Any guidance???

Asked by: Andy

Thank you for your question. To remove the temperature knob cover, we recommend squeezing the sides together slightly with one hand. Then with the other hand, grasp the knob sticking out and pop it off the faucet.

I'm trying to decide between a Vero T17253-SS and T17253-SSH2O shower head. I want the one with the most pressure from the jets.

Even though the H2O version uses less water, will it provide as much pressure to wrince hair during showering, or would the rain can version be better? Thanks.

Asked by: Martin

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model T17253-SS will have an output of 2.5 gpm and T17253-SSH2O will have an output of 2.0 gpm but it feels like 2.5 gpm. It is really a personal preference as to the style that you prefer. One version is not better than the other.

What is the advantage of purchasing the T17T253 model over the T17253? I see that there is a bit of a price difference.

Asked by: Gabi

Hi, Gabi! Thank you for your question. The difference between the two T17T253 and T17253 units is that the T17T253 is a TempAssure thermostatic valve which lets you set your temperature at one setting so that when you get in and out of the shower each time, the temperature stays where you set it at. You will need to set your temperature each time for the T17253 unit. Best Regards, Rosanna

Shower only

Will the R10000-UNBX work for a shower only setup? If so how would I plug the tub outflow? Also would the R10000-UNBXHF Multichoice Universal Shower Only Valve Body work? if so would the R10000-UNBXHF be a better choice?

Asked by: Nik

Thank you for your question. Either Delta Faucet R10000-UNBX or R10000-UNBXHF will work for a shower only application. There are instructions for using it with the R10000-UNBX with the shower only trim. If you are going to not use a tub spout at all, we would recommend using the R10000-UNBXHF to get a higher flow.

Extra parts when assembling shower body (T17253)?

I purchased all the parts for my shower in December 2013 and am trying to finish the installation (currently September 2014). I misplaced the instructions for the shower body and am going by the current instructions posted online as of September 2014. There seem to be several extra parts not mentioned in the current instructions: a stainless steel plate, two springs, and two rubber cups. Are these parts necessary and where do they go?

Dear Claire, Thank you for your question. To install the Delta Vero Wall Mount Hand Shower 55530 faucet with your Delta Vero Shower T17253 trim kit, you will need the Delta Multichoice Universal Valve R10000 and Diverter valve R11000. You would also need the 50570 Wall elbow to connect end of the hand shower hose assembly. Best regards, Tanya

Can you adjust the pressure?

It seems like the shower head doesn't have a lot of pressure even when I have the pressure knob all the way on. I know it is to simulate rain, but pressure seems low. I also have two delta body sprays (50150) installed (using the delta r11000). Their pressure seems perfect. Even when I am just running the shower head, the pressure seems weak.The pressure does not decrease when going from hot to cold, and it doesn't decrease when I turn on the body sprays in conjunction with it. (Note-Plumber installed the systems)

Asked by: Mike

Hi Mike, Thank you for your question. The RP62955 shower head is rated at a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute at 80 psi. You may want to remove the showerhead and make sure that the debris screen in the showerhead is clean. Flush the shower connection with the head off to clean out the piping as well. Thanks, Dave

One model has 1 handle, another has 2 handles, and the other has 2 handles and a "temperature" knob. What's the function of each handle?

Asked by: Lele

Thank you for your question. The Vero collection has 3 different types of showers that you can purchase and they all have slightly different functions. The first step is the T14253 and this model has a handle that only controls the temperature. The volume cannot be adjusted with this model. The second step up is the T17253 and this model has two handles that sit on top of each other. One controls the volume and one controls the temperature. Both the T14253 and the T17253 have a pressure balanced catridge inside. The third and final step up is the T17T253. This also has the two handles that sit on top of each other with one controlling the temperature and one controlling the volume. But the T17T253 has a cartriridge that is thermostatic balanced.

T17253-SS volume/temperature control

When I turn the control both the volume and the temperature move in unison, is the device incorrectly installed and if so, how can we fix. The installation instruction are not very clear.

Asked by: Annette

Hi Annette, Thank you for your question. The temperature knob will move with the volume handle and the temperature is adjusted by moving the knob in relation to the volume handle. The volume handle should not move as you are adjusting the temperature. If it does, try loosening the screw that is under the knob cover. Best regards, Jon

vero monito 17 ceiling mount

Can I mount this shower-head on the ceiling instead of the wall using the ceiling mount shower arm (U4999). I have a 9' ceiling which makes me think that I will need to lower the ceiling to do this. How high above my head should the shower head be? I read somewhere 6" but this seems too close. Is there a shower arm that is longer than the 9" ceiling mounted shower arm?

Asked by: seanfancy

Dear SeanFancy, Thank you for your question. The Delta Ceiling Mount Shower Arm and Flange U4999 can be used with the Vero Shower Trim T17253.
