17 Series Shower Trim in Matte Black
Model#:
T17297-BL
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

Disappointed 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.

Tough to leave the shower
Having the temp and volume controls separate are the only way to go, though at 1.75gpm you may always have it at full volume. The shower head H2Okinetic really does a great job spreading the water spray out so you won’t miss your old 2.5gpm or your historic fire hose of 5gpm.

I remodeled my master bathroom and had this installed and loved it. I loved it so much I put into my new house master bath. I love the shower, and the fact that Delta customer service is on the spot with answers.

Very stingy shower head
This is the stingiest shower head I have ever used. Don't buy it if you like to take showers. Doesn't provide enough water for my wife to get the shampoo out of her hair. I have travelled all over the world and stayed in places where water was short and shower heads were necessarily obstructed to reduce flow. But this is the worst I have seen, and we are stuck with two of these expensive ornaments.

Like the look, unhappy that the temperature knob cover is plastic.
Unfortunately, our temperature knob cover is broke and now I have to replace. With everything else metal, why isn't this piece?

Q&A
I have a Delta Cassidy™ Monitor® 17 Series H2Okinetic® Shower Trim. The rotational limit stop is set highest temp position but water temp is less than 90 degrees. The hot water in the bathroom sinks/tub is 120. What is a solution to increase shower temp?
Hello!
Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company!
To adjust your 1700 series temperature for hotter water, please follow the instructions below.
Please turn the hot and cold water supplies off. Please gather a philips screwdriver.
1. Please remove the temperature cap located on the tip of your handle by placing your fingers on the 'pointer' of the temperature cap and peeling upwards. This will be a little difficult as it is clipped into the temperature knob.
2. Once this piece is removed, you will see a plastic piece held in by a philips screwdriver. Please remove this part and be very careful not to drop the screw or the Rotational Limit Stop (looks like a black cog). Please note this black cog piece goes in one way.
3. Pull the large handle off with the "black cog" piece and set it somewhere safe.
4. Slide the decorative sleeve off of the valve, you will now see a silver bonnet nut and a brass valve.
5. Please remove the bonnet nut with a strap wrench, then pull the cartridge out.
6. You will see a plastic piece in the back of the valve body that is holding o-rings and seats and springs. Please remove this part.
7. We recommend flushing the valve before installing the new cartridge assembly.
8. To flush the valve, please shut the shower curtain or shower door and turn the water on and let it flow for about 30 seconds to a minute.
*Please note there is a limit to how far this will rotate, if you rotate to the hottest setting it will be the same temperature as your water heater. This is not recommended as it can cause scalding. Please also note that each notch you rotate to can range anywhere between 4 and 16 degrees Fahrenheit.*
You have rotated your temperature to receive hotter water! Turn your water on and see if this is your desired temperature.
We appreciate your inquiry. Please reach out directly if you have further questions!
Best Regards,

I ordered fixtures for 3 bathrooms in Stainless Steel finish, but I didn't realize until reading reviews that they get water spots. I assumed all Delta products were spot resistant like my current faucet is. Please advise.
Hi Iris,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17297-SS. All of our finishes are designed for durability. Unfortunately, this faucet does not include SpotShield technology.
Hard water spots are best avoided by wiping gently with a damp cloth and drying with a soft towel. If extra measures are needed, a solution of 50% distilled white vinegar (not apple cider or balsamic vinegar) and water could be used by wiping, spraying or soaking. Make certain that you rinse the surface thoroughly with water afterward and wipe dry.

How do I remove the handle?. The whole unit has become loose and I need to tighten
Hello ECK4488,
Thank you for contacting us, I would be happy to help you.
Removal of handles can be done by following the next few steps.
First grab the wide part of the temperature handle, and pop/snap it off the temperature control. Next you will see a plastic part with a screw, those both would need to come off, so the volume control can be removed. Lastly grab the large volume handle and slide it off the stem of the cart.
Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance.
Best Regards,
Nicole

Hi what rough in valve is required to order to install a Delta T17237-SS
Hi Kimberly,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17297-SS.
Any R10000 valve can be used. R10000-UNBXHF would be a typical choice for a shower-only valve with universal type fittings. Options are also available with PEX inlet connections.
See these technical specifications for more information and options:
