Cartucho, cerámica, ducha, series 13/14

Hi Dan, Thank you for your question. The plate and seats are ceramic. The RP46074 has a metal plate and rubber seats (RP4993). Best regards, Jon

Hi Seve, Thank you for your question. The T14251 could be installed outside if fully winterized. The ceramic RP74236 is designed to be longer lasting in applications with harder water or more debris. However, the pressure balance and temperature control aspects are the same as the included RP46074 cartridge. Thanks, Jon

Hi, DON1! Thank you for you question. The T13020 Delta trim kit includes the gray RP46074 valve cartridge assembly. If you have the same gray RP46074 in your existing valve, you can either use your existing cartridge or replace with the new one that comes with the new trim kit. If you installed your faucet before 2006 and have a white, RP19804, valve cartridge, you can still use the T13020 unit, but you will have to either use your existing RP19804 valve cartridge assembly or purchase a new replacement RP19804, if yours is having any issues. Here is a link to this cartridge assembly: https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP19804 If you do no have either unit, but you still want to use the T13020, you will want to replace the whole valve body to the Delta MultiChoice R10000 rough valve. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Fred, Thank you for your question. To get to the cartridge you will have to remove the handle and the trim sleeve first. Next remove the bonnet nut. You now should be able to pull the cartridge out and replace. Please call our toll free Homeowners/Warranty line if you need further assistance. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question, oneeyedjack! The shower series number is typically printed on the escutcheon plate, just below the handle. If you have a single handle faucet that controls only the water temperature and turns on by moving the handle counter-clockwise you will have either a 1300/1400 series or a 13/14 series faucet depending on the age. If the faucet is older than February 2006 it should be a 1300/1400 series that uses the RP19804 cartridge which is white in color. If the faucet is newer than March 2006 it should be a 13/14 series faucet and uses the RP46074 cartridge which has a gray top. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have questions or need further assistance. Best regards, Edward

Hi Fix it chick, Thank you for your question. You may or may not need the spacer depending on how you think the handle and trim sleeve match up to one another. The spacer helps set up this distance between the 2 parts. Thanks, Dave

Hi Mike, Thank you for that question! The rp74236 is the ceramic version of the rp46074 13/14 series cartridge. Any T13 or T14 series trim would work with the rp74236 cartridge. Best regards, Brandis

Hi Joe, Thank you for your question. If you have a single handle faucet that controls only the water temperature and turns on by moving the handle counter-clockwise you will have either a 1300/1400 series or a 13/14 series faucet depending on the age. If the faucet is older than February 2006 it should be a 1300/1400 series that uses the RP19804 cartridge. The top half of the cartridge will be white in color. If the faucet is newer than February 2006 it should be a 13/14 series faucet and uses the RP46074 cartridge which has a gray top. Thanks, Dave

Hi BW, Thank you for your question. Both the hot and cold water supplies must be turned on for the pressure balance cartridge to work properly. If only the hot water is on, water will trickle out at best. If both supplies are on and you are experiencing the issue there may be debris blocking the flow of water. You will want to flush the faucet if that is the case. I have attached a link to a how to flush the lines on your tub/shower faucet below. Thanks, Dave http://www.deltafaucet.com/tools-resources/research/video-gallery/video.html?v=aHDE586LwYk&cat=

I have the same basic question that cheeks had a few months ago but I am not understanding the answer that was provided. The above shows the difference between the RP73598 and RP46074 but I would like to make sure I understand the difference between the RP74236 and the RP46074. I see 'ceramic' in the description of one but not the other...is that the difference between the two? Are they compatible to replace each other?

Hi, Jordanm! Thank you for your question. The Delta RP73598 Valve Cartridge Assembly is a ceramic valve that can be ordered for any of our Floor Mount Tub Filler Trim to increase the flow rate. This is a non-pressure balance cartridge that replaces the RP46074 in our Floor Mount Tub Filler Trims only, and is not intended for use in our Delta Universal MultiChoice R10000 Rough In Valve Body. Best Regards, Rosanna

bacole, Thank you for your question! The cartridge will depend on the trim series that you install. Please note that the trim kit will included the needed cartridge. Here are the cartridges for each series: 13/14 - RP46074 (or RP74236) 17 - RP46463 17T - RP47201 Best regards, Jon

Hi Wade, Thank you for your question. Unless the rough in valve is equipped with screwdriver stops that allow you to shut off the water supplies to the faucet you will have to turn off the water to the house to change the cartridge. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question, Bruce! The replacement cartridge for your unit is the RP19804, which will fit 13/1400 series units installed before 2006. http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/rp19804.html Best regards, Tanya

Hi David, Thank you for your question! The disc does not have a separate part number. The entire RP74236 will have to be ordered. Best regards, Brandis

Hi Gedeon, Thank you for your question! The replacement cartridge for your unit is the RP19804, which will fit 1400 series units from before 2006. http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/rp19804.html Thanks, Jon

Thank you for your question, Dave. Unfortunately, the lower half is not available separately. Best regards, Jon

Hi, Thank you for your question. I apologize for the issue. In March of "2006" we manufactured a universal valve body that allows any of our current MultiChoice trims to interchange. If you have the universal valve you will be able to change your existing 17 series to our T13/T14 series. If your unit was manufactured prior to March of "2006" you have an older valve body and will not be able to make the change without replacing the rough in valve as well. You will be able to use any of the T17 series trim using your existing RP32104 cartridge and valve. You will not be able to use the MultiChoice RP46463 cartridge included with the new T17 series trim. Best regards, Brandis

Hi Ken, Thank you for your question. You can adjust the Rotational Limit Stop to allow the handle to turn to a hotter setting. For help adjusting the RLS, please see our How-To Video: http://www.deltafaucet.com/tools-resources/research/video-gallery/video.html?v=n2_uZ7wgV1I&cat= Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, John! The cartridge is meant to be installed with the "H" or Hot marking on the left provided that is the side of the hot water inlet. The handle should be in the off position at about 3 o'clock. Adjusting the stem of the cartridge will help with the alignment and you may also need to adjust your rotational limit stop. Best regards, Edward

Hi, Robert! Thank you for your question. The valve cartridge assembly does have a rotational limit stop that can be adjusted so that your water can become hotter. You will want to remove the set screw from the handle with a 1/8" allen wrench. Once the handle is removed you will be able to see the rotational limit stop on the front of the cartridge. To adjust the rotational limit stop: 1. Pull out the inner, off-white circle. It maybe quite stiff. 2. When pulled out far enough, the circle will turn. Left (counterclockwise=hotter, right (clockwise)=colder. 3.Release the circle once it's at the desired temperature. 4. Test the temperature, adjust the rotational limit stop as needed. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Doug, Thank you for your question! On a 13/14 series tub/shower the handle rotates counter clockwise to go from on to off. Best regards, Brandis

Hello David, Thank you for your question. To reverse and fix the hot and cold water flow, remove the RP74236 cartridge assembly, rotate it 180 degrees and reinstall. Best regards, Tanya

Hi Bob, Thank you for your question! You have our Delta 1600 series tub/shower. The 1600 series is discontinued but we still manufacture some parts. You will need the RP1991 valve cartridge and RP4993 seats and springs to resolve your leak. http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/rp1991.html Best regards, Brandis

Hi MikeFromAiken, Thank you for your question. The 13/14 series cartridge will allow up to about 5.8 gallons per minute from the shower port of an R10000-UNBX valve at 60 PSI. With the R10000-UNBXHF you can get about 6.3 gpm from the shower port. Best regards, Jon

Hello, Thank you for your question! Yes, this can be used in place of the RP46074 cartridge. Please reach out with further questions! Best Regards, Tim Digital Communications Specialist

Hi Milton, Thank you for your question. It sounds if some debris may have gotten into the cartridge during the installation. We recommend removing the cartridge and flushing the faucet to clear the lines. Make sure the valve body and cartridge itself are clean and free from debris. You can separate the upper and lower portions of the cartridge to access the seats and springs and insure that they are debris free as well. Thanks, Dave
