Delta Faucet Lahara 17 Series Dual-Function Shower Handle Valve Trim Kit, Stainless T17038-SS, 9.00 x 8.00 x 0.06 inches

This is a beautiful shower fixture set! We couldn't find anything quite like this one in the store and are glad we decided to order online sight unseen. The fixtures are just elegant and really make our shower look like it's worth a million bucks. We get constant compliments on these fixtures after the renovation. Hopefully they hold up well over time - only time can tell for that part.

I love the shower handle being able to control both water volume/flow as well as temperature. Delta makes some very nice products and the feel of the handle is very nice when you adjust anything you want while showering, not too loose, not too tight. The large handle does the volume/flow and is basically a quarter turn from off to full on so it's not like you have to turn the handle far to get your flow to where you want it. Same for the smaller handle mounted on top of the flow handle. The flow handle is metal. The temperature control handle is plastic, that's about the only questionable thing you could even consider with this set is the plastic smaller handle

I like that you can control the flow and temperature, kinda. The way its engineered it isn't supposed to fluctuate in the mixing valve. However that being said it just not hot enough for my liking. When I do adjust the temperature limiter it's so fine between too hot and too cold. Another point I really dislike is that the internal components are plastic, yet the handle is solid metal. So after a while of using it seems the teeth of the gear have been somewhat squeezed.For the price this is an excellent choice, just little things that are a bother. This is not the best shower faucet, but it's better than most. You won't be angry at this product if you do decide to get it.My favorite thing about this shower faucet is the soft soaker option. It is the equivalent of taking the most glorious adventure in the misty Amazon jungle. I could honestly just stand under the mist until the hot water runs out!

Product price ordered via Amazon and supplied direct from manufacturer (Delta/Masco) was significantly less than if ordered via big box stores or plumbing suppliers. Delivery was prompt, less than a week, and exactly what I wanted. I've installed a number of these Delta shower / tub temp controllers and very happy with them. Clean simple look. Note that this is just the control cartridge and the handles and covers - you also need to order a Delta "rough-in", which is the metal (brass) assembly which connects to the plumbing piping ie water supply and shower head etc and is mounted in the wall. This "monitor" installs into that rough-in after you have completed the tiling or other wall finishing around the rough-in. Note that you have to be extremely careful to mount the rough-in to the correct depth in the wall, so that AFTER the tiling etc is completed, the rough-in will project just the right amount into the room to allow correct mounting of the monitor cartridge and cover plate. The instructions are all provided - read closely, since impossible to correct once tiled over.

I had an older model of the Delta monitor that has been installed 10 years ago.This one came with the cartridge and fits perfectly without having to change the rough-in.Was easy to install and look great..
