Review on Enhance Your Shower Experience with the Delta Faucet Classic Shower Valve Trim Kit - Stainless T13020-SS by Mike Skinner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not what I expected

Delta Monitor T13020-SS Series 13 valve trim only, stainless steel (but it's not just a trim... it has a cartridge... could you be clearer Delta? ) The box includes the pad, center ring, stylus, cartridge and necessary hardware. The kit does not include a shower head, shower head or shower head cover flange...although these accessories are shown in the pictures. So, I eyeball my purchase and indeed there is a button to select finishes and a shower head. However, the lever and flange are another $28-$32...let me get that straight. Someone will just buy a stainless steel pad and not worry about a stainless steel bracket, showerhead or faucet? I don't see the handle and trim kit wearing out until replaced while the shower head and spout remain usable. It would be better if I bought a new shower valve, trim kit, cartridge, head, lever and flange. set to. But no... I took matters into my own hands. I pulled out the Scotch Brite (red) and polished the chrome shower head, bracket and flange. It goes well with the new expensive SS trim kit. No more $$$ for you, Delta.
