I just installed my Delta Multichoice Valve Trim 13/14. And do not get enough water on my shower head. Actually I am going to use only the shower head not the tub. I removed the head and replaced it but still same problem. When I removed the head I also checked the water flows very good. What leads me I may doing something wrong. Any special tip for this?

If you look inside the shower head from the back where the threads are you can see a flow restrictor, if you take it out you get a lot better flow.

Plumber installed a delta multichoice valve trim 17 two years ago. The water temperature knob is getting harder to turn again. It happened a year ago too and the plumber put in a new cartirdge saying...

not all that familiar with your particular faucet. but in my experience, most plumbers dont put grease on the valves when installing them . the factory just uses enough grease to get the valve in the faucet. if you have extremely hot water and use it . it wont take to long for it to cause this problem.. just an opinion. i cant imagine how the buildings shutoff could have anything to do with your problem.

When installing a flexishower head, install it in front of the actual shower head with a diverter switch. If you try to operate two shower heads at once, you may suffer poor water pressure. There are handheld shower sets sold which are installed to existing shower assemblies with ease. Rememer to use plumber's tape and protect your stainless steel by wrapping you pliers teeth in electrical tape.

I have a Delta one knob shower combo,and it been working fine then all of a sudden I go to take a shower and no water comes out of the faucet,I don't think it;s frozen pipes is there guts inside the faucet...

Hello. Delta uses a replaceable cartridge inside the faucet.Most commonly they will drip if they are going bad.There is very little you can do to repair the cartridge but replacement is affordable. Usually by removeing the handle and the next trim piece you'll be at the cartridge which should pull out but may be stubborn due to water deposits.Take the part with you when you go shopping,there are many different cartridges.

Delta T13090 faucet shower head working at the same time.

The only possible explaination is that the water is finding it easier to go up than down. Water is lazy, just like me. ;)

Use an allen key to remove the tub spout. It's underneath and awkward. Once the allen key is loose, the spout just slides off. Try running the water. This may solve your problem and all you'll need is a new tub spout. If not.....

Turn the water off to the house.

Use an allen key to remove the handle.

Use a phillips to remove the trim plate (2 screws). Cut the silicone around the trim if it's there (which, in a proper installation it shouldn't be, but...)

Unscrew the nut (usually chrome) holding the cartridge into the brass body of the valve. The cartridge pulls straight out. Check for restriction in the ports of the cartridge itself. Check for restriction in the line going down to the tub spout. If you can't find anything, replace the cartridge.

Reassemble & Enjoy!
