Key Features
- Separate Volume and Temperature Control: The dual-function handle allows for independent adjustment of water temperature and flow volume.
- Monitor Pressure-Balanced Valve Cartridge: Included cartridge maintains consistent shower temperature by balancing hot and cold water pressure, preventing sudden temperature changes.
- Easy to Clean: Features Touch-Clean spray holes on compatible showerheads (not included with trim kit) for simple removal of mineral buildup.
- Durable Finish: Chrome finish offers a sleek appearance and is designed for longevity.
Installation
This product is a trim kit only. A Delta MultiChoice Universal Shower Valve (recommended rough-in model R10000-UNBX or R10000-UNBXHF) must be purchased separately to complete the unit. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the rough-in valve for detailed plumbing and valve body installation.
Trim Kit Installation Steps:
- Ensure the rough-in valve is correctly installed and secured within the wall.
- Follow the specific instructions included with your T17097 trim kit for attaching the escutcheon, handles, and any other trim components to the installed valve body.
- Confirm all connections are secure and watertight before finishing wall surfaces.

Operation
The Delta Cassidy 17 Series features a dual-function handle for precise control:
- Volume Control: The outer handle controls the water flow volume. Rotate it to turn the water on or off and adjust the intensity of the flow.
- Temperature Control: The inner handle controls the water temperature. Rotate it to select your desired temperature. Once set, the temperature can be maintained for subsequent uses by only operating the volume control.
The Monitor Pressure-Balanced Valve Cartridge ensures that the water temperature remains consistent, even if other water sources in your home are used simultaneously.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Delta Cassidy trim kit:
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that could damage the surface.
- Cleaning Spray Holes: If your showerhead (purchased separately) features Delta's Touch-Clean spray holes, simply wipe away any mineral buildup with your finger or a soft cloth.
