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® thermostatic valves use TempAssure® 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
- TempAssure thermostatic 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

Burn or freeze
My contractor spent over an hour trying to get the hot and cold water to mix, but it just will not. Either scalding or freezing. Such a disappointment, as I specifically went with Delta due a reputation of quality.

I had some difficulties
Works great. As a homeowner, I had some learning curves and problems. The assembly is quite different than the circular Delta showers faucets that I have elsewhere and was used to. First, the escutcheon for the shower pipe is VERY small and rectangular, which makes it a problem to cover the typical hole where the shower head exits the wall. I had to patch the area to get the cover to cover the hole. Second, the Rectangular plate in back of the faucet has a totally different mounting scheme than the round ones, and for me it was much more problematic.

Delta Vero TempAssure
After much discussion, my wife and I decided on the Delta Vero TempAssure product for our shower project. The product arrived with no issue, and has been working great. We especially love the ability to adjust and control the temperature and flow, and who doesn't love the rainfall!!!

Brown water
The shower system has the ability to divert water from rain shower to the hand held unit. When the water is first diverted to the hand held unit, brown water comes out for a few seconds. This does not happen from the rain shower head. Delta has indicated that they will replace the defective parts once they are identified. To make matters worst, I have 2 identical systems with exactly the same issue. Brown water. Embarrassing for 2 new installations.
No progress on this yet.

Vero TempAssure 17T Series Dual Function Thermostatic Shower
We purchased this shower package for our master bathroom renovation. The product was packaged well and looks great. It was simple for our plumber to put in and top notch quality. The body sprayers are a nice addition for a master bathroom. I would highly recommend this product.

Freaking AWESOME Shower hardware
Sleek, modern, clean lines. Knobs turn smoothly. Pressure is great (I'm in low flow city). Shower head extension from wall is long for me (tall guy). It looks like a modern hotel.

Leaky shower head
Looks good but quality not so much.
Shower head developed a leak around the seam on the top of the shower head after a month.
Don't even touch the "Touch Clean Spray Holes". Touching it will cause the nozzles to spray in a different direction. Water will not spray straight down again.

The shower head is NOT square
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is really more about the description of this product, which is inaccurate. The shower head is NOT square. It is rectangular and measures 8.625" x 5.75"

Q&A
How far down after the elbow is the shower head?
Hello Dave7028,
Thank you for your question. The drop on the model T17T253-RB shower arm measures 2.09".

Tanya

I'am planning to buy the Vero 17T, can use the R10000-UNBXHF? I ONLY WANT THE SHOWER HEAD.
Hi KIPKITER123,
Thank you for your inquiry. The shower head that comes with Delta Vero TempAssure Shower Trim T17T253 is part number RP62955. Yes, this trim kit can be used with the Delta R10000-UNBXHF valve.

is the shower fixed or can it be adjusted to a different angle?
Hi, Skye!
Thank you for your question. The Delta TempAssure T17T253-SS Shower Head does adjust and angle to your liking.

What is the dimensions of the shower head? What is the flow rate (gallons/min)? Does it have ceramic valve parts?
Hi Debi, Thank you for your questions. The dimensions of the showerhead in the model T17T253 are 8-21/32" x 5-45/64". The flow rate of the showerhead is 2.5 gallons per minute. The cartridge is a brass housing with ceramic plates.
Thanks,
Dave

mixer valve location
Hi, Most pictures of the shower assembly show the mixer valve located in line between the shower head and the tub spout. I have reason to want the mixer valve located on a different wall than the shower head and tub spout. Can that be done with the Vero series and your valve? Thanks for your time.
Hi Sherrie,
Thank you for your question. The shower head may be installed on a different wall from the valve. However, the tub spout must be installed 8-18" directly below the valve. Installing the tub spout outside of these specifications can lead to back pressure, which may cause water to come out of the shower head while using the tub spout.
Best regards,
Jon

Which diverter do I need to get? Will the pressure be good if shower, body spray, and handshower are all 'on'?
T17T253 RainShower
57530 Handshower with Slide Bar and 50570 Wall Elbow
50150 Body Sprays (2)
Thank you for your question. To be able to use these features, you will need to purchase Delta Faucet model # R11000 diverter valve and T11953 6-setting 3-port diverter trim. This will allow you to use each feature individually or 2 of the features together. You will not be alble to use all three features together.
We also recommend the R10000-UNBXHF for the T17T253 trim package. This will give you a better water flow with all of your features.

We are planning on getting the dual-function shower head (T17253-SS) and handshower (55530-SS), do I need the shower only valve body (R10000-UNBXHF) or do I need the shower/tub valve body (R10000-UNBX)? Besides the valve body, what other items do I need?
Hello Mike,
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can use the R10000-UNBXHF or R10000-UNBX with the Delta Vero TempAssure Shower T17T253-SS and hand shower 55530-SS. You will also need a Diverter Rough-In Valve R11000 and matching Vero Diverter 3-Setting Trim Kit T11853-SS.
Best regards,
Tanya

Cleaning the metal surfaces
What do you recommend for cleaning water spots off the metal surfaces? Soap and water isn't sufficient. As an experiment, I tried a little SoftScrub on a soft cloth on an inconspicuous corner, and it did clean it up nicely. But given the warning against using abrasives I wanted to see what you recommend.
I'm the original poster of this question and I should clarify that I was referring to the stainless finish.
In response to the answer posted above, none of the solutions suggested were effective in removing water spots. I ended up using Soft Scrub on a sponge (sponge only, not an abrasive pad), in very small amounts, slowly increasing the pressure until it started taking off the water spots. I was careful and went slowly and it didn't seem to affect the finish, but I can see why you generally wouldn't recommend people use abrasive products.
That said, Delta needs to go back to the drawing board on this finish. It's unrealistic to expect people to either blot dry their faucet controls after every shower, or accept water spots that can't be removed without damaging the finish. No one wants to be drying off the faucet handle after every shower. It's going to get spots and you need to make it with a finish that's tough enough to handle a cleaner that will remove water spots without sustaining damage.
