Just used your video to update my shower. Thanks so much for posting it. Looks so much better than the crystal handle.

Thank you. I’ve been searching for hours and finally found you’re video. It answered all my questions. Thank you!

Thanx for the video. VERY helpful dealing an old house delta tub facet. These kind of vids are timeless.

Thank you for this video. I was questioning if this kit was compatible because the handle is a different shape. You demonstrated it is!

I was so easy to change out. Took me about 10 minutes. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for this video. I have been searching everywhere for information on my crappy old shower kit. I just replaced my tub faucet as half my water was filling the tub as I was showering (this was the case for years). Now, I want to replace my what I now know is a Delta 600 handle with something more appealing. I am hoping this will help with my slight dripping I am having, but I would bet that is due to the valve, which I am not prepared to replace at this time. I am upgrading my entire shower in the next 12-18 months. I just wanted to improve the look and functionality in the meantime. Thanks again!

Great video. I'm down to removing the bonnet & am hesitant because it's the original install from the 80's. A plumbing company said I'd have to keep the silver one or it would be $800 for the switchout! Aaagh! I'm wanting a matte black & Danco seems to be the only one that is compatible to the 600 series. I wish Delta would make a black finish kit!

I also have the same cartridge with the ball. I think is the 600 series. However mine is flash with the wall so I installed a kit from Amazon and the leverage hits the plate. Urs is sticking out from wall which is good

This is literally the shower valve of the 30 year old apartment im living in. Inwas literally trying to repair it right now coz it was not sealinf properly and it was slightly leaking around the valve.

Just manage to stop the leaking at least temporarily. Apparently overtime it gets lose

Nice demo, thanks! Is there a version of the trim kit that can be used for situations where the existing installation has the built in tub diverter valve?

[MattKempers]

Now just to find the right rebuild kit. Hopefully Menards Lowe's has one

Yours does exactly as mine. Cold and hot are reversed.

Thank you for this video! I was able to assemble it by following your instructions, however my valve leaks a bit when turned on. What did I do wrong?

[Bmw]

Shouldn’t you have put calk around the trim first to seal from the inside and outside before placing the large chrome trim on?

[crotchcrickets]

So you don’t need the adjustment ring on these even though it has the threads for it.

Was there plumbers putty under the escutcheon?

[futbol]

My does not stick out from wall like that is just flash with wall:(

[briantreacy]

Thanks for a good video. What is the model number of the trim kit?

[heatherallain]

The water didn't seem to fully shut off at the end of the video?

[joweydelanota]

Any chance tou can give me the model of this valve
