Chrome RP54870 Reno Repair Trim Kit: Enhance Delta 600 Series Tub and Shower Trim Kits with Delta Faucet Shower Handle Review

Benefits: An economical solution to upgrade a 25 year old shower/bathtub faucet. Reasonable price thanks to Revain. Cons: Changes hot/cold water operation when changing faucet. I called Delta and they said you can use the reversed ball to bring it back to its original position or use the previous ball. I don't like the idea of using an old ball because it's plastic and old. RP16423 is a Delta P/N Reverse Ball and currently retails for $18.63 and ships first to Revain. not optimal as the ball…

Many reviewers have pointed out that the original dome/cap cannot be easily removed because it is stuck and I was no exception. Before starting this repair, I spent a lot of time reading reviews, questions and answers, and watching repair videos. Never mentioned a Delta RP20587 removal key. After this repair I did another sink faucet repair using the same dome/top. Again I used everything in my arsenal (penetrating oil, heat, any wrench) to remove it and nothing worked.

I ordered this kit because I needed genuine parts for fit and finish. The shower was updated and at the same time wanted to clean the shower fixtures without having to replace the entire valve assembly. It did the job and looks great. I've read a number of reviews mentioning having to turn the knob in the opposite direction as stated on the finish plate to get cold or hot water. This is indicated in the final instructions on the sheet that accompanies the parts. 9. Check that hot water comes…

So, my first review of the product. I have read all the current reviews below 5 stars. Viewed dozens of videos on YouTube. Here are some comments. In the kit, the crystal ball is replaced by a flat lever. All details fit. One must be very careful when removing old parts. My sleeve and tip were "welded" with snow-white minerals. I sprayed mine with silicone WD-40 3-4 times a day for three days. I had a dremel ready to cut it off but because of the wetness it popped out right away. I also bought…

My 1990's Delta (600 series) bath and shower faucets began to drip from the stem. I knew I could probably just order and replace the internals to stop the leak, but the VERY dated crystal style pen was just begging for an upgrade. This set fits perfectly.
