Model#:

PRODUCT FEATURES
Inspired by the slim lines and graceful arc of a ribbon, the Vero bath collection offers a high-end, modern look. 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. Brilliance® finishes are durable, long-lasting and guaranteed not to corrode, tarnish or discolor. This Brilliance Stainless finish has subtle, warm undertones which make it an excellent match with nickel or stainless steel and is extremely versatile, complementing nearly any look, be it traditional, transitional or contemporary.
- 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

Q&A
Adding a hand wand
I am about to install a Vero 14 shower only kit( head and valve, no tub attach)What needs to purchased (including different divertor) in order to have a hand shower attachment?
Hi, Mike!
Thank you for your question. Besides the diverter trim and the diverter valve body, R11000. We recommend to also have a wall elbow for your hand shower hose. A wall elbow that will look great with the Vero collection is 50570. Here is a link to the part on our website:

Can the shower head pivot if you don't always want the flow to point straight down?
Hi, JamesD!
Thank you for your question. The shower head for the Delta Monitor T17253-CZ-WE does angle/swivel on the ball joint.

On other websites (i.e. amazon), it mentions a flow rate of 2.5 gpm. 2.5 GPM. The specs on here say 1.75 gpm. Can you please confirm?
Thank you for your question, drp1234! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Model T14253-WE is a WaterSense® Labeled product designed to produce 1.75 gpm @ 80 psi. The non-WaterSense labeled version does provide 2.50 gpm @ 80 psi. This flow rate may not be updated on every site and we will work to get this information corrected as soon as possible.

purchased a t17253sswe for a shower only, the shower valve body that was purchased was a R10000-UNBXHF can that be used? Can I just cap the lower outlet that was for the tube spout ?
Hi Lupe,
Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company about the T17253-SS-WE!
Yes, the R10000-UNBXHF would work for your installation. The HF model does not have a tub spout port, so there would be no capping needed.
Please contact us directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance.

I just recently purchased and installed a Vero Monitor 17 model T17253-RB. When I rotate the volume control lever from off it takes over halfway around before any water comes out of the shower head. Is this normal or is something installed incorrectly?

Does shower head has a water pressure limit? I am not getting very much pressure and raising the overall pressure does not help at all. Thanks.
Hi Aliya,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17253-WE. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. We are happy to help!
The included showerhead is designed to limit the maximum flow rate to 1.75 gallons per minute.
To troubleshoot an issue, I recommend removing the showerhead and running the shower in the full mixed position for two minutes to flush the faucet. Check for debris and clean the connection before reinstalling the showerhead. See here for more information:

I'm unable to remove the escutcheon on a model T-17053. The set screw is removed. When I rotate it to unlock it from the tabs it will not pop off. A pry bar might crack the the tile and break the tabs. Any ideas?
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17053. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. We are happy to help!
Rotate the escutcheon counterclockwise to remove it from the bracket. If it is not able to rotate, soaking the area with 50/50 white vinegar and water can help remove mineral deposits that may be holding it in place. If the tabs become damaged a replacement escutcheon and bracket are available as RP62958 and RP51035.
Please reach out with any additional questions!

Can the t17453 be installed only for the shower without the tub faucet?
Hi Keith,
Thank you for your question!
The model T17453 trim kit can be installed without the tub spout or the similar model T17253 does not include the tub spout.
The MultiChoice R10000 series valve rough is sold separately. Either use a shower-only R10000 valve model or plug the tub outlet of the valve rough if not using a tub spout.
Please contact us directly if you have any additional questions!

What is the difference between the Vero 17 and 17T shower head and controller?
Hi Mike607,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17253-WE.
This uses a pressure-balanced valve cartridge. A Tempassure 17T series like T17T253 uses a thermostatic cartridge to maintain a more consistent water temperature from one shower to the next.

I have the Vero Monitor 17 Series Shower Trim (installed late 2016) but not sure which model shower head I have. How can I determine if I have the RP62955 (2.5gpm) or the RP91363 (1.75 gpm)? Asking b/c I'm interested in a higher GPM shower head.
Hi CQwater,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17253-RB-WE.
The water efficient models (WE) of this collection were introduced in 2017, so it is likely a 2.5 GPM shower head. Or, the gallons per minute can be measured directly. GPM is 60 divided by the number of seconds to fill a gallon.

Hi I purchased Vero Champaign bronze shower head set and a wand. Please advise on what product is best to clean and remove hard water spots. After a few months I am very sad at how sported my set is and would like to properly clean it. Thank you
Hi Vero,
Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company!
Here are the instructions for cleaning from our website:
Always blot dry any water from the faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to a build-up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward. If additional cleaning is required, all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners: Formula 409® Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner, Fantastik® All-Purpose Cleaner, or Windex® Original Glass Cleaner when used according to the manufacturers' instructions for use. Avoid using the following which can damage your finish:
· Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner, Lysol Basin Tub, Soft Scrub, and Tile Cleaner. Avoid bleach-based cleaners.
· Avoid products that state on the label that they remove tarnish and rust, and those containing hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, and/or phosphoric acids and caustic agents.
· Avoid harsh abrasives or polishes.

I purchased this unit and the universal valve assembly. Does this come with the cartridge? Or do I need to get that separate?
Hello Justin,
Thank you for your question! I am happy to help you!
Our Delta Faucet VERO® Monitor® 17 Series Shower Trim MODEL#: T17253-CZ-WE comes with the cartridge, the only part that would need to be purchased separately is the rough valve.
