PRODUCT FEATURES
Dual-function valve cartridge maintains a consistent water temperature from one shower to the next. Monitors water pressure to balance temperature. All Delta tub and shower faucets are engineered to keep the water temperature within a safe ±3.6° F (±1.7° C)*. This technology makes sure your family doesn’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. The valve cartridge features an adjustable handle limit stop that, when properly set, helps ensure the handle cannot be turned to a position that is too hot for comfort*. Easily replaced seals make maintenance a snap.
This cartridge is included with tub and shower trim packages.
*Requires inlet water temperature be set correctly. May require seasonal adjustments.
- Monitor® dual-function pressure balance cartridge
- Use with MultiChoice® 1300/1400 Series tub & showers produced after March 2006
- Allows for separate volume and temperature control
- ASSE certified (ASSE 1016)

Wasn't what I needed
I bought this based off of what the person told me I needed- I needed a whole different part. Now I have to figure out how to return it, if i even can.

Recommended Cartridge for fixture did not work
The cartridge stop allowed my valve handle to over-travel going beyond the shutoff point which allowed for small stream when the handle was fully closed.

Destroys itself by being used.
I have major complaints about the Delta 17 series cartridge RP46463. Absolutely one of the worst plumbing products I have ever used. If the contractors installed any other cartridge I would never had to order so many replacement parts. Screws back out constantly, allowing the assembly to fall apart and destroy the teeth. I have replaced 2 of these in less than a year of their installation. Horrible product.

Replaced 3x in 7 years!
I have had to replace this valve now three times since it was originally installed 7 years ago because it is randomly drips/releases water. My water bill has skyrocketed, which led to me putting a bucket under the faucet in the tub only to see that it was filling up! Also, it is very difficult to get it to allow hot enough water for a bath -- it is fine for showers but for a bath I want hotter water. It is nearly impossible to get the setting to allow hotter water (and, no, it is not a problem with my water heater).

I looked at the party supposed to be in the 1700 series why I needed a 1700 series but it was 1717 series so I didn’t understand what was the difference until I got the product so I was upset
It was the wrong part so I don’t know what to do with it

NOT Universal - beware!!!!
This replacement valve is NOT a Universal fit as is stated. I just spent $100 for nothing! I will be contacting the company. If you have a 17 or 1700 series shower and it is leaking, chances are you just need to replace the seat springs and seals. This cartridge does not fit because it has two triangular notches on either side that should fit flat into the shower receptacle stem, but mine has a one sided square notch, which means this one cannot seat properly in the stem. My shower is circa 2004??? Not happy.

Q&A
I just bought this house. In the master bath, the hot and cold water are reversed. Are the lines hooked up backwards?
Hi Doc, Thank you for your question. You should just be able to remove the cartridge, rotate the cartridge 180 degrees, and reinstall to solve this issue. I have attached a picture of this step from the installation manual to guide you.
Thanks,
Dave

Can you replace 14 series cartridge with a 17 series cartridge in a multi choice universal valve body
Hi Tom,
Thank you for your question! An R10000 MultiChoice Univarsal Valve will allow you to install the 14, 17, or 17T series trim kits and cartridges.
Thanks,

1700 Series Shower only, New House Mid 2008
Shower when I turn handle to far left for hot water from cold, the water pressure drops and not much hot water comes out. If I move handle back to the right pressure goes high but it is only cold water. I took off both hadles & unscrewed the screw & removed grey plastic lever and & the black round plastic part. The cartridge is grey and says #46463, Type P. There is a Brass fitting holding the cartridge in. Is there adjustments that can be done with either the grey plastic lever or the black round plastic part because both have grooves on outer edges? How does Cartridge come out? Brass won't turn. Please assess.
Thank you for your question. It sounds like your rotational limit stop may need adjusting. Included here are the instructions on how to do this. This will allow more hot water to come through your valve. The instructions are on page 9.

How can the cartridge be removed on the monitor 1700 series?
Thank you for your question. Removing Delta Faucet part # RP46463 can be done by first turning off the water and then removing the handle. This should expose the cartridge to be able to remove it. Sometimes the trim sleeve may have to be removed also to get a better grip on the cartridge but it will slide out of the valve.

How do I adjust the cartridge for the water to get hotter. No problem with tub faucet in same bath.
Thank you for your question. Your cartridge contains a rotational limit stop that can be adjusted to allow more or less hot water to flow through the valve. Included here are the instructions for adjusting your limit stop. The directions are on page 9 of the booklet.

Is this compatible with Delta Lewiston shower valve?
Thank you for your question, Manny! The RP46463 is the current 17 series MultiChoice cartridge. This would be the correct cartridge for the Lewiston model 174902.

Does cartridge RP 46463 work with the Lahara T2738SS2 handle Roman tub fixture. Note I am installing the new fixture with older (2002) existing rough in for an older Delta tub fixture.
Hi, ThomasW!
Thank you for your question. The RP46463 does not work with the T2738-SS unit. We recommend the stem unit assemblies, RP24096 and the seats and springs, RP4993. Here are the links to the parts:
