WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU REPLACE DELTA SHOWER VALVE CARTRIDGE

Delta RP46074 is the model number for the proper shower cartridge that replaces that of the 13/14 or R10000 or Multichoice Universal series of valve housings. These series names don't actually mean anything. They are 100% arbitrary and are synonymous. They are just made up to sound fancy and confuse the consumer into buying shit they don't need because there is pretty much one Delta valve housing that everyone uses for single handle style shower valves and the only valve cartridge that will work is the OEM/Factory one. Do NOT fuck around with Danco or Mahua brands. They look identical to OEM model but usually don't work....They MIGHT work....but myself and so many other people have reported the same problems with them; that they either leak or only allow for lukewarm water temps.

9/2023 .... got my replacement valve from Home Depot easily. Good news for us. Replacement is quite easy. Other Youtube videos explain it without all the apparent frustration Mr. Tom has.

Sorry for your troubles but your experiences have saved me and others a lot of heartache. Thank you for the video.

The number of people who do not know that Delta offers a lifetime warranty on the cartridges amazes me. You call Delta, tell them what model you have. If you don’t know the model, you can text them pictures, and they will identify the model for you. On my Delta monitor 1700. I took a picture underneath the handle and both the model and the model number were on the chrome. You saved yourself anywhere from $50-$70. If you do it yourself or if you call a plumber.

Thank you so much for this great Video. I wished I saw your Video first. You're so right about the danco Brand. I replace 2 danco cartridge and still leaks I was so frustrated and about to give up and just called a plumer. Than I came across your Video and went to lowes and got the delta Part. It stop the stupid leaks. Thank you so much, you save many people headachs and time.

I just ran into a shower valve problem, luckily I watched your video before I bought one of those cheapo valves, OEM Delta ...thank you.

Dude, my wife and I are DYING laughing at the first 30 seconds of this video. We feel exactly the same. These things should be made simple without all of the business deals and convoluted BS that goes on. Your frustration is so refreshing. You’re not alone! A true homeowners champion. 💪🏼

Avoid the big box stores and the internet. Find a plumbing supply house in your area and take the old part in; you should not have any problems if you do that!! Good video

As of 09/07/2023, HomeDepot has the Delta cartridges in stock. And I think the PEX fittings just screw in and out. Also Delta has a lifetime warranty, and will send free cartridges.

Something told me to check YouTube one more time before I buy something and I came across this! Thank you brother you saved my ass!

seemingly small repair jobs are freaking nightmares. I installed one danco that worked, but broke another one trying to get it in the valve. went back to oem to replace. totally understand this guys frustration and mood.

[toddashton]

Thanks for getting this on you tube. Very helpful.

[coopekk]

The very best video for replacing or repairing a leaky faucet. 🙂👍🏿

[pressleymiller]

Bro! Thank you for the lesson! Will do 🫡

[jameshorton]

I just replaced the valve in my Delta single handles shower faucet this past weekend and I used the OEM Delta 46074. And where did I find it? At Lowe's.

[ricksterc]

Thx man. Very helpful as I went to home depot and bought one and kept leaking right away. I need the original one that you posted in your description link. Thx again

I don't understand what the "disc" is before the temperature setting. On it it states" warning reinstall disc after setting rotational limit stop". It doesn't adjust, it only pops off. What is it's purpose?

[TmacFL-buow]

I’ve encountered exact same issue with aftermarket cartridge. Install…then a leak. Thought it was me…or an install misstep on my end.

[travis]

Thank you, just encountered same issue with hot side

[belongs__the_grave]

I feel the frustration. And 100% agree on no accountability. Customer service is a joke across the board these days.

Picked up the actual delta part at Lowe’s a couple months ago.
