Answer This Question

A:  Hi DKMP, thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company! Delta Faucet Company shower cartridges have rotational limit stops built into them. These rotational limit stops are set to the middle temperature to prevent scalding. We recommend adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop before completing the installation to get your desired temperature. Please refer to the instructions below. You shouldn't need to shut your water off but keep in mind it is still possible for the water to turn on if the stem is rotated. Please gather 1/8" allen wrench for a lever handle and a philips screwdriver for a knob handle. 1. Remove your handle with your 1/8" allen wrench. The set screw should be under the lever of the handle. If you have a knob, please remove the cap on the tip of the handle. You will need a philips head screwdriver to remove the screw. 2. Pull the sleeve assembly off of the valve. This is the cylindrical part behind your handle that hides the valve body. 3. You will see a brass stem and a plastic white piece on the tip of the cartridge. The white piece has notches on it to grip it easier. 4. Please pull the white piece towards you and rotate counter-clockwise for hotter water. *Please note there is a limit to how far this will rotate, if you rotate to the hottest setting it will be the same temperature as your water heater. We do not recommend rotating to the hottest setting. Please also note each notch you rotate ranges between 4 and 16 degrees Fahrenheit.* Now you are able to install your sleeve and your handle onto your valve. Turn your water on and see if this is your desired temperature. If it is, tighten the set screw or the screw and the temperature adjustment on the cartridge is done! We appreciate your inquiry. Please reach out directly if you have further questions! Best Regards, Kyra Digital Communications Specialist

    Q:I have an old Delta teardrop acrylic shower handle that I would like to replace. Is this an appropriate replacement? I purchased my home in 2007, and the previous owner did minor upgrades but I'm not sure when.

      Q:I need to replace shower trim kit T17253-SS. I only need the faucet no the shower head. Is the T14053 the correct replacement? Thanks

      A:  Hi BigMike! Thank you for contacting us at Delta Faucet! I will be happy to help. Correct, model T14053 is just the volume/temperature portion of the trim kit. Please keep in mind, if the valve in the wall was installed prior to April of 2006 then you must use the existing cartridge assembly and not the one that will come with the new trim kit. Please contact us directly if further assistance is needed at this time.  Best Regards, Tim

              A:  Thank you for your question Henry! The Monitor 14 series is a pressure balance trim that operates both volume and temperature when turning the handle counterclockwise from the "off" position on the right to the full "hot" position on the left. Best regards, Edward

                Q:When paired with the appropriate valve (which I know is not included), can this shower fixture provide control for turning the water on and off as well as adjusting the temperature? Or is this just a dedicated temperature control?

                Answer This Question

                A:  Hi ChucktownWonders, Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # T14053 is a single handle single function cartridge faucet. The only thing that can be controlled is the temperature. We do offer a single handle dual function cartridge faucet with the same style with model T17053. There are two handles that sit on top of each other, The larger handle at the back controls the volume and the smaller handle on top controls the temperature. Either of these models will need a rough-in valve. We recommend model R10000-UNBX. Thanks. Jody
