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 TempAssure® thermostatic 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. While other products may gather unsightly mineral buildup over time, 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. 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: TempAssure® thermostatic 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: 9-3/8 inch diameter shower head with single-setting full spray
  • EASY-TO-CLEAN SHOWER HEAD: Soft, rubber Touch-Clean® spray holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime buildup from the spray face of your shower head with the touch of a finger
  • ADA-COMPLIANT DESIGN: ADA-compliant lever handles make it easy to adjust temperature and volume
  • THERMOSTATIC SHOWER: TempAssure® 17T Series dual-function thermostatic cartridge included

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cassidy Shower System I was so excited to see this shower system in the showroom. It is beautiful and just what I wanted for my primary bathroom renovation. I chose the chrome finish since that looked the best with the quartzite and marble I picked out for the vanity & shower. I can't wait for the renovation to be completed.

I just had this shower head and valve installed in our master bathroom. I noticed that when we move the volume control handle the temperature knob moves with it. Is it supposed to move together? If not, do you know what might be wrong?

Asked by: Mark63
Thank you for your question, Mark63! The Temperature knob is held on to the Volume control handle with a Phillips head screw. If this screw is over-tightened, the temperature knob can not move independently of the volume control. https://media.deltafaucet.com/PartsDiagram/DPD-B-T17T097.pdf Best regards, Edward

Recommended shower head

I am remodeling my shower and am trying to make it doorless. I have heard that rain showers will minimize splashing. However, I am concerned about here not being enough pressure. Any recommendations on a rain shower head that swivels and has different settings? Also, I see the new Cassidy shower head coming out soon. Do you have more info such as dimensions and if it swivels or has different spray settings?
Asked by: Joanna
Thank you for your question. We cannot recommend one raincan over another raincan. They are all going to have about the same splash range. The Cassidy raincan showerhead is 8 inches in diameter and is single function and does swivel. We do not manufacture a raincan showerhead with a multi function setting.

my temperature control gives hot or cold but not warm. what are possible causes of this?

Asked by: JoAnn
Thank you for your question, JoAnn! I do apologize that you are not getting warm water, but will be more than happy to help! If the RP47201 valve cartridge that this unit takes, is put in upside down, it can prevent the temperature from getting lukewarm. There is a H and C marking on the base of the cartridge along the black plastic. The H should generally be on the left and the C would be on the right. If you have a back to back installation, meaning hot water comes in on the right and cold water comes in on the left you would want to have the C facing the left and H facing the right.

TempAssure Question

Will the Tempassure feature prevent scalding should someone with a disability enter the shower and simply turn the valve to hot hot water only?
Asked by: Gay
Hi Gay, Thank you for your question. TempAssure® Thermostatic valves monitor the temperature of the water and adjust the mix automatically to maintain precise temperature control and to keep the water temperature in your shower within a safe ±3.6° F (±1.7° C). This provides a more consistent temperature than pressure balanced valves can supply. TempAssure valves also feature an adjustable high-temperature limit stop that when properly set helps ensure the handle cannot be turned to a position that is too hot for comfort. And because TempAssure measures the temperature of water, the handle limit stop will not need to be adjusted for seasonal ground water temperature changes. Basically when you install the faucet you will set the max hot water temperature by adjusting the rotational limit stop to a safe/non scalding water temperature. The valve will not allow the temperature to exceed this limit. Thanks, Dave

My water company recently installed a new meter and when they turned the water back on, my shower head made a loud noise as air rushed through it. Then if began leaking badly out of the seems around the head (T17T297-PN). Can I replace the head?

Asked by: Scott

My new Cassidy 17T shower control was just installed by a plumber. I took my first shower and the temperature control doesn't allow for enough cold water to have a comfortable shower. The water is too warm even at the coldest setting.

Asked by: Christy47
Hi Christy47, Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17T297-SS. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. We are happy to help! This may be caused by the cartridge being reversed or by reversed supplies. Due to the way thermostatic valves are designed, the cartridge is expecting to get hot water from a specific inlet. If the cartridge is put in upside down, it can cause no water flow, low water flow, varying temperatures, or only hot or cold water. The easiest way to troubleshoot this is to flip the cartridge if it's not working properly. Shut off water supplies. Remove handle assembly, trim sleeve, and bonnet nut. Check to make sure the “H” marking on the cartridge aligns with the hot inlet and the “C” marking on the cartridge aligns with the cold inlet to the valve body. See here for an installation video: https://support.deltafaucet.com/s/article/How-to-Install-the-Delta-T17T-Cartridge-Trim-Video Please reach out for further assistance or out with any additional questions! Best Regards, Bryan Digital Communications Specialist
