How to Install the Delta® T17 Cartridge & Trim

[@aleekat73]

Excellent video. Follow this video you won't go wrong. For those who say they get barely any water. I suspect he adapter was not fully seated. It's the part you put in before the cartridge. I used some o-ring grease. The temp handle will always move with the flow handle. Temp will not change from what you set it at.

Thank you for the great demonstration, a lot better than the included written instructions.

[@richardlehoucq9821]

Well-produced, helpful, video. One minor improvement is to first check that the wall plate screws are long enough before you add the silicon to the back of the wall plate. Mine were not so that Hannah's suggestion to call delta CS resolved the problem. CS was helpful and mailed me longer screws once I supplied the model number on the trim box.

I like all your videos on the Delta tub and faucet thank you I want to install one for myself

[@vickiechristianson5459]

Super video. Very thorough. I really appreciated being able to install the valve myself. Especially since I know nothing about plumbing. Thank you.

[@deltafaucet]

We are happy to help, Vickie! Thanks for being a great Delta fan ❤️

[@mohandasu43]

Thank you very much Mam. Well explained to understanding to any person to do the job. Thanks DELTA.

[@PatriciaMorais-i6s]

Absolutely perfect!!! Thank you.

[@weissmitch207]

Excellent video. I remove the mixing valve every fall and winterize our cottage. Then in the spring I re-install the valve. Should I lubricate the rubber pieces with the springs on the adapter? Also my hot side is directly in the middle.

[@bradleybuyer5541]

Thanks! Most videos leave out the part about adding silicone sealer to the back of the trim ring gasket.

[@deltafaucet]

We're happy we could help!

[@flash996]

It’s silicone grease. Not sealer

[@Scott-eo7lj]

How do you remove the temp handle since it just clips on? I'm afraid of breaking the plastic is attached to

[@Degrative]

Did you ever find a solution to this?

[@ReelBassAction]

Use a razor blade, or something you can push the clip down with and it will pop off

[@paulgillis4677]

​@@ReelBassAction Not all temperature handles can be pried off. First check for a very small hole in the cylindrical part of the temperature handle, kind of hidden behind the lever part. If you find that, it should have a little plug in it, which needs to be pried out with a sturdy needle or the tip of an awl. Then you'll see a set screw in the hole that you'll need to loosen with an Allen wrench. Then you can pull the temperature handle straight off.

Installed cartridge and no water comes out…. Or barely a trickle. With cartridge out, water pours out full pressure. Any ideas?

[@tylerngo4894]

Camera should move little closer.

[@sandracohen8481]

Need help installing the adapter please

[@jasensigafuse7130]

I can’t get any water pressure after installing the cylinder I have plenty of water flow before only a trickle after

What's the best way to remove the trim ring she snapped in when you want to remove the trim kit.

[@gerald4674]

What’s the purpose of the debris screen if it’s only in one water supply line? Is it in the hot or cold?

[@aservantofYeshua]

Thank you thank you thank you

[@chetto203]

Don’t silicone weep hole but you thread it on smearing silicone in weep hole ?

[@nicholasvalentine4221]

Very helpful

[@mvadu]

If I already have an existing valve can I still follow these instructions and install this? I currently have a single handle valve and want to switch to independent flow and temperature control valve.

[@deltafaucet]

Hello mvadu, Thanks for contacting us! Yes, you can use your existing valve with a new trim kit! You will need to use the cartridge assembly provided with the new trim kit for use. -Kelley

[@Soandsoguy]

You need a series 17 or 17t kit. T is thermostatic, btw.

[@stayfido]

My temperature control handle will not pop onto the unit, no matter what I try. Any tips?

[@deltafaucet]

Hello Ken. Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company and we are happy to help. We recommend making sure that the rotational limit stop is installed correctly with the arrows facing the right directions. With any further questions or concerns, please send us a private message with your contact information. -Carrie

[@danieldoherty5034]

Insert the handle side over the smaller tab on the control disk, then snap the other side opposite the handle stem onto the larger tab on the control disk.

[@jamies42178]

How do you remove the handle to adjust the water temperature?

[@Avalucialove]

I have the same question…The temperature handle is wobbly and loose but I cannot see where to tighten it?

[@danieldoherty5034]

Pry it off from the side opposite the handle stem. If it’s wobbly, it’s because the screw underneath is loose.

[@paulgillis4677]

​@@danieldoherty5034 Yes, there is a screw underneath the temperature handle that probably needs to be tightened. But not all temperature handles can be pried off. First check for a very small hole in the cylindrical part of the temperature handle, kind of hidden behind the lever part. If you find that, it should have a little plug in it, which needs to be pried out with a sturdy needle or the tip of an awl. Then you'll see a set screw in the hole that you'll need to loosen with an Allen wrench. Then you can pull the temperature handle straight off, then tighten the screw in the center of the valve stem (using another Allen wrench).

[@Brettdyt]

Seems like you should lubricate the cartridge. If you don't then A) It will be harder to put in, B) the o-rings will deteriorate faster and C) It might be impossible to get out after years of calcium and mineral build-up, I just damaged mine trying to pull it out after 20 years.

[@deltafaucet]

Hello Brett, Thank you for reaching out. Our parts do come lubricated from the warehouse. It is possible that flushing the shower regularly could help with calcium buildup. To do this, turn off the water supplies, remove the cartridge, and turn the supplies back on for one minute. Our products do have a Limited Lifetime Warranty that covers parts (other than electronic parts and batteries) and finishes of Delta® faucets purchased from authorized Delta sellers are warranted to the original consumer purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship for as long as the original consumer purchaser owns the home in which the faucet was first installed. I have included a link below for the warranty information. www.deltafaucet.com/service-parts/warranty -Kelley

[@JimKrumel]

I am removing my handle but the volume control won't come off.

[@johnvoyage6486]

That’s the same problem I’m having I think it’s fused on with hard water corrosion, but I don’t wanna break it. Did yours come off eventually

[@Soandsoguy]

Silly to include the teflon tape instruction. That's unrelated to delta 17t series kit installation.

[@mitriwalston4109]

The screw that comes with the handle on the T144339-bl-pp does not fit. Any suggestions?

[@deltafaucet]

Hello Mitri. Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company and we are happy to help. Please send us a private message with your contact information for further assistance. -Carrie

[@ranranwild11]

When she assembles the temp gauge the handle is facing to the right. When she turns the water on to check the temp the handle is facing down. What's up with that?

[@kurtboso2243]

Plastic cartridge teeth keeps getting ate up by the metal handle teeth. Needs fixed.

[@ronys1973]

Followed all of your steps, but when I moved the temp control to adjust the water temp, the volume handle moves with it, I ENSURED the screw is not over-tied. I called CS and they were no help, they actually sent me this video...any ideas?

[@kimberlydismuke2922]

I’m having the exact same problem. 😌I just run scalding hot water then turn it to cold until ready 😂

[@ronys1973]

@@kimberlydismuke2922 that's exactly what i do too 😏

[@cameronlakotich6586]

Figured this out today. The white part that the screw goes into has to be turned to the opposite stop before installing the part over top

[@nehntek1]

Many people will need to take the handles off before installing a new cartridge. This video kind of misses that point. Now consider a few years of use and hard water like southern California has. It is possible people will be breaking the temperature handle if they don't know how to tilt it before pulling.

WTF

[@scottym9778]

Pre 2006 ur screwed

[@michelegaw3840]

I think you just don’t use the white assembly piece??? I bought a replacement cartridge at Home Depot. I have the pre 2006 valve…there is no way to put that assembly piece in. The Home Depot cartridge did not include that adapter. I think the adapter is for a post 2006 valve. It is very annoying this is not mentioned in the video.

[@reibel9567]

Delta is junk.

[@gavinbutler5453]

Not helpful tbh

[@readmore3634]

16 mins is 13 mins too long

[@austinhodges1994]

If the top piece (temp adjustment knob) is really loose how do I fix that?
