Never had an issue getting out a delta, now Moen’s are a different story when you get that rubber wedged in the valve body.

Deltas tend to come apart though don't they? like the grey plastic part detaches from the white plastic part and leave the white part stuck in there.

I had a Delta cartridge and couldn't get it out by hand, was getting out the heavy tools and realized I was flirting with disaster so I threaded that big ring back on so I could turn water to the house on. Looked online to see if a puller existed and found this one on Amazon for about $220. Add that to the cost of a replacement cartridge and you are probably spending less than if you hired a plumber to do the job. Seen too many videos of people who spent hours removing the old cartridge after they broke it was glad I put the job on hold until I got the tool. If you have another tub or shower in your house with the same Delta valve you may get another chance to use this.

Seriously for $220, I (as a homeowner, not a pro that does it for a living ... if a pro, of course buy it!) I would rather pull out the grey plastic part then chip away at the white part that always gets stuck in the valve.

Never even knew they had a tool. I have replaced more of these then I could count and always used a decent pair of Chanel lock pliers. Not once have I had a problem barring the one time someone sabotaged the valve on purpose after being evicted. They broke of the end of the valve so I had to keep breaking it inside the housing and removing the pieces till I got it all, but this tool wouldn't have helped under those conditions anyway.

Never thought something like that was ever needed. WD40 and a little wiggle gets the tough ones

WD40 always has for me too but it did not work for me recently on a bath remodel, I did manage to get the handles off but that's as far as I got. It took over an hour on the first handle alone and I was soaking with WD40, prying/pulling/cussing as hard as I ever have on a piece of pipe!! On top of that the main shutoff in the basement wouldn't turn more than about a 1/8th of a turn so I had to shut the water off way up at the street. I finally just told them they were getting new handles and escutcheon plates (which is all she wanted anyway), and if they leak in the future then maybe I'll spend the $220 for the tool and come back and swap out the cartridges.

@cblanton42 😅😂😂😂 as the joke goes, a preacher bought a used lawn mover. But could not start it when about to do first mowing with it. So, go back to the seller told him mower not starting. Seller tells Preacher cuss at it will start. Preacher says, he doesn't cuss. Seller tells him, keep pulling the cord it will come to you 😅😅 you just reminded me of that joke.

Will this work on the Delta 1700 series cartridges?

@mathewthatcher6274 Жыл бұрын

I'm buying it. I don't care how expensive it is. Sometimes these Delta cartridges are an absolute nightmare to get out

my last one was horrible I was afraid something was goilng to break first the cartridge came off and the ballance sppol was stuck I used my torch , vineagar or clr kept working at it musta been a couple hours . then I had a call for one today and it took like 20 minutes tops . looks like good product I too recomend Slim Gem Tool or who ever get it together a bit more and sell the heck out of these . I just recomend a bit more professional on the marketing . You guys probebly come from the trade like me and high respect for bringing out tools for us Im kicking around getting one myself kinda take a hit on my first 1300/1400 profit but easy street on the rest

I wonder if I am to replace the old cartridge, why I buy an expensive tool to remove that as a whole piece instead of cut the old cartridge into pieces and put on a new cartridge?

Ya mean I am the only plumber around who went straight to his map gas torch assembly and purely massacred melted the hell out of those pain in the ass- stubborn-not wanting to come out old Delta shower cartridges that hadnt been removed ever before I was blessed to show up and attempt to do so. Yeah I was that dummy that would needle nose plier wiggle it with half a can of WD-40 or Penetration Blaster and be patient as it would come out piece by piece by never ending piece. Then one day a light bulb went off and I thought, plastic melts and plumbers have melting tools (TurboTorch setup + Mapp Gas bottle) when the bathroom conveniently had a window I could open that really saved me the hassle of explaining to the customer that after a few hours the smell of toxic burning shower cartridge plastic will go away but look on the bright side.......Our plumbing shops $140 per hour charge didnt have to be double because of my torch wielding methods and the love of burning siezed old Delta cartridges out of customers shower valves.......hey if it came out with a pair of pliers and a few wiggles then I was happy with that method too. ❤.
