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

Are you able to replace the the aeroator/flow reducer to achieve higher pressure out the head? Or just replace with a new one if hard water has damaged the original.

Asked by: Eric7az
Hi Eric7az, thanks for your question regarding 1165LF-CZ! RP70171 has a flow rate of 1.5 GPM at 80 PSI. We do not recommend removing or modifying the flow restrictor as this will void the warranty and may cause it to no longer comply with state or federal plumbing codes.

Hello. We tested and it is not providing the correct volume and pressure flow. How can we correct this? Also can you let us know where the green epa regulator is located? Thank you

Asked by: Bobb
Hello Bobb, Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17253 VERO® Monitor® 17 Series Shower Trim. I apologize for any difficulty finding this information. We are happy to help! To troubleshoot this issue, please check the flow rate with the showerhead removed from the shower arm to determine if there is an issue with the valve or the showerhead. Recommended maintenance for the showerhead is to soak in a solution of 50/50 white vinegar and water to dissolve mineral deposits or common water debris that can cause a reduced flow. The flow regulator is an internal part of the showerhead. For information to flush and troubleshoot the valve, please see the manual: https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/107529%20Rev%20D.pdf Please reach out at customerservice@deltafaucet.com or 1-800-345-DELTA if you have any questions or need additional assistance.

We have had this kit for 3+ years, about a year ago the flow of water stops every time the temperature is on hot. The hot water comes through the water pipe but will not regulate. Do you know what replacement part is needed and how to repair? Thank you

Asked by: Marianne
Hello Marianne, Thank you for your question! We are happy to help. The T17253 trim kit uses the pressure balance cartridge RP46463. The cartridge can be easily replaced by first turning the water off to the unit, room, or home. Next, you will need to remove the handle' set screw, bonnet nut, and sleeve assembly. The cartridge can then be pulled straight out. The adapter assembly may have a screw holding it into the valve body. The new adapter assembly will not need this screw. The cartridge can then be replaced and all other components reinstalled. Please reach out directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance. Best regards, Bryan
