Tuerca de bonete en cromado

It was a little tricky but I sealed the gap between the bonnet and the faucet body base with strips of packing tape except for a small area in the back (the high side) so I could carefully apply Liquid Wrench to my bonnet threads. I applied several small applications over the course of 3 days to help loosen the potential build-up and corrosion on the cap threads (apply this on the bottom only, not the top where the plastic adjustment ring is under the handle...that won't help this!#. I purchased a 33mm 6-point deep socket #1/2" drive) at my local auto parts store and it fit this bonnet hex head perfectly. Using a 1/2" drive breaker bar, the bonnet cap came right off with little effort, no scaring or damage to the chrome finish. Btw, someone else here in another post notes using a 34mm socket but I found that was too loose for my bonnet cap. In my case, the 33mm 6-point socket was a perfect fit.

Hi Bigyak, Thank you for your question. The RP1050 bonnet nut includes an anti-seize ring but not 2 o-rings. Thanks, Dave

Hi, ocsteve! Thank you for your question. The Delta RP1050 bonnet nut is 1 11/16" in diameter, and the opening is 1 1/16". Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Ken M, Thank you for your question! We do not manufacture the RP1050 cap assembly in a flat black finish. Best regards, Brandis

Hello Young! Thank you for your question. The RP1050 will not work with the 470-DST faucet. The correct bonnet is part # RP51502. If having difficulties removing bonnet, please try soaking it using a rag with a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution for about 1 hour. This will help dissolve mineral buildup. Best Regards, Shontay

Hi Bonnie, Thank you for your question. The RP1050 bonnet nut unscrews counter-clockwise. Use a strap wrench or a rubber jar lid opener to get a better grip on the nut. Often hard water/ mineral build up will make the bonnet nut hard to remove. We recommend soaking a towel in a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water and wrapping the towel around the bonnet nut. This will help break up the mineral deposits making it easier to remove the nut. Thanks, Dave

Hi James, I am sorry to hear about the trouble that you are having with your faucet and I would be happy to help. We do not recommend using a standard wrench on this cap due to potential for damage. I would recommending using a strap wrench as it applies even pressure all the way around the cap and will not damage the finish. A strap wrench can be purchased at your local home center or hardware store.

HI, Don371! Thank you for your question. The Delta RP1050 Bonnet nut does fit the Delta 600 Series Shower Valve. Best Regards, Rosanna
