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
  • ADA Compliant

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gorgeous! I wanted brass fixtures in my bathroom and searched for a long time to find exactly what I wanted. This Champagne Bronze rain head by Delta is absolutely gorgeous. I love showering under it. I also bought the separate hand held shower and the set is just amazing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not quite While we love the functionality of the our Vero-1701 shower system, the rain shower head just doesn't deliver. It may be a function of our water pressure regulator we decided to install because of excessive pressure from the city, but I now believe it is more the size of the rain shower head. It's designed and was installed like a normal shower head but attempts to be shower can...not quite. There just isn't enough surface area to make it a good rain shower head. I've had a true rain shower from the ceiling that was about 1 1/2 times the size of the Vero...it worked. This does not...our next attempt will be the Delta - Delta 52664 1.75 GPM 5-13/16" Wide Multi Function Shower Head with H2O kinetic and Touch-Clean® Technologies. Let's see what happens there...

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Looks great but shower head leaks and so does the replacement. The rainfall shower head leaked right away, Delta replaced it with no question but the new one leaked just as bad. Tried filling it full of caulk etc. but nothing worked. It's not the screws! It's the untested design. Just said forget it and never used it. It's been installed for 2 years. It's too bad, we're redoing our master now and have to look at something else.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice kit, but shower head leaks Been happy with this but the shower head design is poor. It constantly leaks around the seam on the top. Why that is even removable is questionable. I'm hoping Delta will replace this with an updated model.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Shower head leaks! Buyer beware! Look at the reviews for the shower head by itself: RP62955. I didn't, had it installed with a complete bathroom remodel, and first use it leaked out of the top like every single other reviewer mentioned. I'm replacing it with Rp50841...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shower Package [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Delta shower package 9 months ago as part of a master bath renovation. I'm completely happy with the quality and performance of the shower. Shower installed by contractor. All the features worked as described and the rain shower head is amazing. Highly recommend this shower.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth the money I bought this not even a year ago for my vacation house. I may have used it only 20 to 30 times. The shower head is already leaking out of the seams on the top. It looks great but cheaply made. Buy something else. I am already looking for a replacement shower head.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gorgeous finish and clean lines [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have done 4 complete bathroom redo's in 2 years. I had purchased this same Delta faucet in chrome for an en suite bath and loved it so much that I knew I would get the same one when we did another bath. The bronze finish is just beautiful. It is so easy to use the faucet and you always know what the temperature is going to be when you "set" the faucet. My only issue is the rain spray which sometimes , if it gets knocked starts to drip when it is on at the sides. I have been able to fix it by just straightening it and making sure it is tight. I have had this issue with both rain heads. Also- you need to keep the head clean- important if you have hard water which we do. A quick swipe over the nozzles does the trick. Overall I love the faucet and know that it will give me many years of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love our new shower We installed this shower head and faucet about 6 months ago and we love love love it. The shower head provides the luxurious gentle rain water shower we were hoping for. The faucet allows you to leave the same hot water setting on the small handle, and you just turn the big handle for on & off. The only thing is that it seems to be backward from the normal right/left logic. I assumed we installed it backward but I notice in the photo that it looks like ours does when it's in the full off position with big handle to the right. Look carefully when you install. Overall though we are very happy with this product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice clean lines but leaks [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this shower trim for a little over a year. The design is beautiful, shower head size is a nice blend of traditional and rain head. The only problem I have is the head leaks. I have purchased multiple of these units for other houses we have built for clients and have had similar problems. I love delta products though and have complete success with the bathtub faucet in this collection as well as many of the kitchen faucets Delta carries.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Shower Head leaks horribly The controls are very nice and we love the ability to keep the temp set while turning off and on. The Shower Head is terrible. It has been installed 12 months and developed very bad corrosion leaks along the top seems. The design is built to fail.
Date published: 2016-08-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Pleasant Luxurious to bask in. The water flow is very sufficient for general washing and hair rinsing. I mounted the head 12" above my head, giving a very pleasant spa like experience. The valve trim is well thought out and excellent quality.
Date published: 2016-07-19
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Keeps leaking As part of a major remodel, bought all new Delta hardware. Everything works and looks great except for the rectangular shower head. On our third replacement in 18 months... keeps leaking along the top long seam. Terrible design.
Date published: 2016-04-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Real Step Up This shower package is wonderful. It's solid, great looking and works really well. The large shower head gives you plenty of water to rinse off easily and the double handle lets you set the temperature you want. The small handle adjusts the temp. so all you need too do the next shower is turn the water on with the large handle and it will be at your desired temp. The head just takes a swipe of your finger across the water "holes" and they're clean of lime scale and other residue. I love it!
Date published: 2016-04-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very sleek look I bought this for a new shower installation with waterfall tile. Looks spectacular! My plumber remarked on what a great shower faucet I chose. I haven't used it yet since shower doors are yet to be installed.
Date published: 2016-03-19
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Junk This expensive shower head was installed around October 2015. By January 16, it was not only leaking from the top in the back, it was shooting a 4" spray from the front top. It is also impossible to clean as the jets start shooting water in all directions.
Date published: 2016-02-14
Rated 1 out of 5 by from It Leaks I installed 2 of these in 2 different showers. It has been 9 months, and so far I have gone through 3 replacements in one shower, and 2 in the other, all because they start leaking out the top. Do not buy this product.
Date published: 2016-01-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the rain shower We replaced a Delta unit that had fixed shower head and hand shower head. It was cheaply constructed and didn't work very smoothly. WE Love the clean lines and the great feel of the "rain-like" water impact of the 17253.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Look is great, quality is poor I installed this shower head in December 2014. Looked fantastic. Valve system works great. Shower head started leaking out of the seams after 3 months. Delta replaced the shower head in March and the replacement head is doing the same thing after 3 months. In the midst of working with Delta to get another replacement. There are definitely quality control issues.

Q&A

How do you increase the water temperature

I have the nob turned as far as it can go but the water is still luke warm. How can I increase the temperature?
Asked by: Reg
Hi Reg, Thank you for your question. In a new shower, you may need to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop to get hot water. For help with this, please see our How-To Video. https://www.deltafaucet.com/cms/render/live/en/sites/delta/home/video-gallery/video-page.html?videoId=n2_uZ7wgV1I Best regards, Jon

How do you clean the head

Asked by: Jeweld
Hi Jeweld, Thank you for your inquiry! We recommend to soak the whole shower head of the Delta Vero Shower T17253-RB model, in a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water mix. This can be soaked for an hour or even overnight to clean off any debris that maybe causing the blockage. If you should have anymore issues with this, please feel free to call, email, or message us on social.

Do you need to purchase a universal Shower Valve Body separtely with the T17253 ??

Is there a Shower only valve that is recommended (no tub).
Asked by: Neil
Dear Neil, Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta Vero Shower T17253 is a trim kit only, you will need to purchase the rough-in valve separately. The R10000-UNBXHF is a shower only MultiChoice Rough-In valve assembly. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R10000-UNBXHF Best regards, Tanya

Hi Rob, Thank you for your question. I have attached the instruction manual for the R10000 rough in valve below. Step 1 covers the depth at which the valve should be plumbed to insure that the trim mounts properly.

I bought 4 of these for new homes in California. They require max 2.0 GPM flow rate. Please let me know the spec and if we can use pressure reducer to meet the spec. 

Asked by: Hamid
Thank you for your question, Hamid! Model T17253 has a shower head with a 2.5 gpm flow rate @ 80 PSI. Because the shower head is not WaterSense labeled, it can not be sold in, or shipped to the state of California. However, Model T17253-WE has the exact same design, and includes a shower head that is WaterSense labeled. I have included a link to the valve trim's web page for you to refer to. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T17253-WE Best Regards, Benjamin
