Delta Faucet Lahara 17 Series Dual-Function Tub and Shower Trim Kit with 5-Spray Touch-Clean Shower Head, Stainless T17438-SS (Valve Not Included)

I'm updating a bathroom and needed to replace the trim kit on a 20-ish year old Monitor 17 tub/shower valve from shiny brass to brushed nickel. After all these years the valve worked fine, it was just dated. At first I bought the trim kit for the valve only. But, after shopping around for the overflow, tub spout, and shower pipe and head I found this combination kit to be much cheaper than buying the pieces. So, I returned the first kit and got this instead. Installation: Delta has an excellent installation video on youtube It's pretty straightforward but I was still a bit apprehensive because of the hot water stop. Turned out that was pretty easy to deal with; I had to guess on the position and got it at almost no hot the first time but nailed it when I adjusted it. Looks: Very attractive and the brushed nickel matches the sink faucet in that bathroom perfectly. Amazing how it made a big change in the looks of the room. I should note that this kit takes on fingerprints and smudges. But, since you're normally just going to be using the handles this isn't a big deal for me. Very pleased.

I have been using these faucets for many years for the custom houses I build. They are excellent quality. I also have had them in my house now for 13 years and we take a lot of showers with 10 people in the house. (large family). They still work like new. I highly recommend these. The temperature control knob is why I go for these. And delta is a lifetime warranty product.

We bought the Delta Lahara to replace our old chrome tub/shower fixtures in our hall bath. The bathroom gets very occasional use for overnight guests. The new fixture is such a great improvement over the old one! We really like how it’s possible to select the right temperature and then leave the handle positioned to return to that setting for the next shower usage. The shower head delivers great water pressure and it all just looks so much more updated and stylish over our old builder’s grade fixture. My only complaint, the reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5, is the fact that unlike all our other brushed nickel fixtures this one does easily smudge and it is slightly darker more like a pewter shade. I was aware of these issues, thanks to other reviewers, but we liked the price, the overall style and the temperature setting feature so I am okay with a few smudges and a slightly darker color. When we remodeled our master bathroom we went with more expensive, higher end shower fixtures and I haven’t been as happy with them so I appreciate the value of Delta and am satisfied with the quality of it so far.

We added this to our remodeled guest bath. Looks great and works fine. By the way, our plumber said he likes Delta products because they are easy to repair if that's ever needed. He said that other higher end brands tend to be much more difficult. I found that interesting. However, I haven't had to repair any of the Delta fixtures in my house yet. Most are relatively new though, less that 3 years. old.

I hate most one-handle shower controls that don't allow separate adjustment of flow rate and temperature. This one allows you to control flow rate with the main handle, but also includes a small lever that controls the temperature. All components of this set look nice with a pleasing brushed nickel finish. The shower head is medium-sized, not too big and not too small. Very pleased with this purchase.

The product is well made and should last. I’ve received several compliments on the unit especially the spout. The controls work well. There are 2 problems with the unit. The most significant is the water pressure from the shower head. Even after changing the gasket the water pressure was very low. I’ve had to replace the shower head and the new unit is significantly better. The second issue is a nit. The finish on the unit shows water spots after every shower. Not a big deal but it detracts from the appearance of the unit and requires additional work.

This is a great faucet set and the product/warranty support by Delta can’t be beat! Thanks Delta!

Both the shower and faucets of this set are hefty and have a good solid feel. This maintains temp and works wonderfully. It was as easy as as other shower controller to install.

Well made piece, easy to install, looks great.

My wife was not totally impressed with the finish, she thought the stainless finish was more pewter like. The shower head works as described and looks okay but again not fantastic in function. The water flow valve and temperature control both work well.

I really like the product, but had to return the one I got from "warehouse deals". It was a previously opened product that was scratched and gouged. I bought another one brand new and it good.
