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. Our H2Okinetic® showers look different because they are different. Using advanced technology, H2Okinetic showers sculpt water into a unique wave pattern, giving you 3X the coverage of a standard shower head with the feeling of more water and water pressure. Delta WaterSense labeled showers use at least 20% less water than the industry standard—helping you save water without compromising performance. 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
  • RAINCAN SHOWER HEAD: 7-7/8 inch diameter shower head with single-setting H2Okinetic® spray
  • FEELS LIKE MORE WATER: H2Okinetic® Technology showers feel like more water and more pressure, with more coverage
  • INVIGORATING SPRAY: H2Okinetic® PowerDrench® Spray creates powerful water patterns for an energizing 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
  • WATER EFFICIENT: WaterSense® labeled shower heads use at least 20% less water than the industry standard without compromising performance
  • BUILT TO LAST: Quality is our top priority, so all our products are tested and certified, meeting or exceeding industry codes and standards
  • COORDINATING PRODUCTS: Complete the look in your bathroom with matching faucets and accessories, including towel bars, robe hooks and more

Rated 4 out of 5 by from master bath upgraded plumbing Used Delta products throughout my remodels. Great finish and quality but did have to play with the shower head to get the right water pressure. Plumbers had no issues with install.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from The finish showed water spots from day 1 I don't hate the stream of water from this showerhead, but you should know that it is very simple- no other settings. Also know that the controller trim is partially plastic and not solid feeling. Something behind the trim is metal though, because it is rusting and dripping down onto my new white grout and tile (Delta is sending a replacement cartridge; plumber insists it is not a cartridge issue, but when the plumber tried to call to discuss it with Delta, Delta required that I be the one to call them- of course I don't know plumbing, I just own the shower). Even if we chalk the rusting up to a fixable fluke, the horrible water spotting on the shower head and controller can't be ignored. It's what I would expect from a $30 generic trim. Note that this shower is 3.5 months old, used for two showers per day, gets professionally cleaned weekly, and we have a water softener. Delta's answer to the water spots was to use water and vinegar for cleaning; that did nothing to improve or remove spots. I noticed water spotting the first day it was installed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst shower head EVER! The water barely dribbles out of this thing. We have a Delta Dryden shower head in our guest bath and it works just fine. Both of them were installed by the same plumber. I am beyond disappointed as we have been waiting to finish this bathroom remodel for a long time If this is what we can expect from Delta, we will be using Kohler from now on.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Would give it less than 1 star Just talking the shower head here, but Not sure why there are any positive reviews. I can’t find a single good thing to say about this abomination of a shower experience. I gave it a couple tries but wow- awful. Horrible flow, spray can’t be focused - I couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. For the record-this is the first and only negative review I have ever given for anything, anywhere. Usually try to make the best of things, but no way I could with this.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from spray pattern not adjustable Love the valve with separate controls for temperature and flow rate. The shower head is a little disappointing. The shower head is oversized for what it does. The main problem is there is only one spray pattern meaning there is no way to get a focused spray when you want one. Overall, I don't enjoy the shower but my husband does.

Q&A

Hello Delta. Can this be used with a 17T cartridge such as RP47201, or does it have to use a standard 17 series (non thermostatic) 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 including the same shower head, as model T17T297-WE. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T17T297-WE Best regards, Edward

How do I adjust the hot water stop on a multichoice valve?

We just installed a Cassidy Multichoice 17 series shower head and valve.
Asked by: W
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # T17297-RB has a rotational limit stop that can be adjusted to allow the consumer to get more hot water coming through the valve. The factory sets the temperature at about 105 degress but it can be adjusted to 120 degrees depending on the water heater. Included here are the instructions for adjusting the rotational limit stop. http://www.deltafaucet.com/customersupport/documentation/t17297-rb.html?document=mi&documentIndex=0#flashWrapper

Is the tub spout metallic or nonmetallic??

Asked by: jagr
Hi jagr, Thank you for your question. The RP72565 or RP43028 Cassidy tub spout is non-metallic. However, this unit does not include a tub spout. Best regards, Jon

We like this model, but also would like a spray wand attachment. Is that possible?

Asked by: Toanomudd
Hi Toanomudd, Thank you for your question regarding the Delta Cassidy Shower T17297-CZ model. you would need the Diverter Valve R11000 and matching Cassidy 3-Setting diverter Trim T11897-CZLHP (and handle of your choice), to complete the install you described. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T11897-CZLHP https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R11000 Best regards, Tanya

What shower only valve works with this this product? Don’t have a tub, just shower install. It’d be great to know the item number for the shower only valve. Thanks!

Asked by: Mlees89
Hi, Mlees89! Thank you for your question. Any of our Delta MultiChoice Universal High Flow rough valves will work for a shower only install. The High Flow rough valves are R10000-UNBXHF and R10000-UNWSHF. Here are links to these: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R10000-UNBXHF https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R10000-UNWSHF Best Regards, Rosanna

Can this be ordered without the shower head and arm?

Asked by: NEDX
Hello Nedx, Thank you for your question. Yes, the Delta Cassidy T17097 would be the valve only trim kit, that doesn't come with a shower head or arm. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T17097 Best regards, Tanya

R10000 UNBX valve

Is the R10000 UNBX the only valve that will work with this shower? We are building new construction and the builder has installed a non-delta valve. We're concerned that it will not work with the T17297 trim.
Asked by: Stacey
Hello Stacey, Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a non-Delta valve would work with a Delta trim and we can only advise that use a Delta rough in valve with a Delta trim. I hope this helps. Best Regards, Justin

Can I replace the front handle (only) of the Cassidy Multichoice 17 series shower trim with a Cassidy Metal Cross Handle Model # H795RB?

Asked by: carolm
Hi Carolm, Thank you for your question. The H795RB handle cannot replace the temperature knob on your model T17297-RB. The H795RB is made to fit on the T13/T14 series tub/shower trims, not the T17. Thanks, Dave
