Monitor® 17 Series Tub & Shower Trim in Stainless

Thank you for your question, Dwayne. This trim will work with an existing pre-2006 1700 series valve using the original cartridge (part number RP32104). Best regards, Jon

Hi Angie, We are sorry that you are experiencing a problem with your faucet. Most likely, you are experiencing "shower-rise" where the water can’t get out of the spout as fast as it flows through the valve. This causes the water to back up and come out the shower head. There can be one of several reasons for this: The valve could be upside down The length from the valve to the tub spout is outside of the 8" to 18" rule There is more than one 90-degree angle Something other than copper or galvanized pipe was used going to the spout The most common reason is that there is something restricting the water flow to the spout, e.g. solder or something lodged in the pipe. Something is impeding the flow of water to the spout and causing it to back up and go out the shower head. If this is the cause of shower-rise it is possible to remove the blockage by removing the tub spout; then, feeding a plumber’s snake or a speedometer cable up through the tub drop. The act of feeding it causes it to twirl and loosen the blockage. Be sure to flush the valve before reinstalling the tub spout. Be sure to check the tub spout itself for blockage. If none of these help, you may need to call a plumber. After the shower has been installed and the wall has been closed, there is little that can be done to remedy this situation yourself. Your faucet is equipped with a rotational limit stop that allows you to set the max hot water temperature on your faucet. Making the adjustment to this piece will raise the water temperature in the faucet. Here is a link to the How to adjust the rotational limit stop video. The 17 series portion of the video starts at 1:50 into the video. http://www.deltafaucet.com/shopping-tools/research/video-gallery/video.html?v=n2_uZ7wgV1I&cat= Thanks, Dave

Hi Vicki, If you are adding just the Delta Faucet model # 57021-SS to your T17438-SS, you will need the T11800-SS diverter trim to complete your faucet. If you add another feature, like jets or another showerhead, you will need the T11900-SS. We recommend that you use a tub spout diverter when hooking everything up because if you divert the water using your R11000 diverter rough to your tub spout, there will be times when your showerhead and tub spout are on at the same time. Thanks. Jody

Hi ladyonthelake, Thank you for your question! Stainless Steel is a close match to both of these finishes. However, we recommend to compare them in the store as there are slight differences. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, Anonymous! The flow rate will depend on the trim kit used with the rough-in valve, the pressure in the home, and other factors. However, at 60 PSI the maximum flow rate will be about 6.0 GPM with the Delta Lahara Tub and Shower T17438-SS model. Best regards, Tanya

Dear Matt, Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta Lahara Tub and Shower T17438-SS faucet and collection style does not have an all metal tub spout. The only Delta Tub and Shower full trim kit that comes with an all metal tub spout is the Delta Zura T17474-SS. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T17474-SS Best regards, Tanya

Hi Tim, Thank you for your question. The tub spout that comes with the Lahara collection can only be sweated onto 1/2" C.W.T. or threaded onto 1/2" IPS. Best Regards, Courtney

Thank you for your question, Barbara! Instructions on adjusting the rotational limit stop to decrease or increase the potential maximum temperature on this model can be found on page 7, step 4 of the Maintenance and Installation manual below. https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/X00076652_G.pdf Best regards, Edward
