Delta 600 Series Chrome Round 1 Handle Tub or Shower Renovation Kit

Product was high quality and exactly as described. I would recommend viewing YouTube videos on replacement of shower faucet prior to replacement.

Great product and exactly what I needed!!

exactly what we needed and was a perfect for. no issues at all.

I rebuilt our 1987 acrylic knob Series 600 shower valve using the RP54870 Conversion Kit (in Chrome finish). As per "Chris H" review, I had also bought an RP77739A kit "just in case", as we had the diamond-shaped stem that he mentions. However, I found we did not need the additional kit to complete our repair as the ball included in the RP54870 Kit worked just fine for our application. A note of caution - many people have posted online about how they broke the shower valve body when attempting to remove the old Cap Assembly (5) because it was stuck. Apparently it's not difficult to twist and break or distort some hidden tubes which are part of the valve body inside the wall. I was fortunately able to unscrew our Cap Assembly quite easily. In fact, I checked it by giving it a quarter turn before ordering new parts. Once the parts arrived, I shut off the water supply and carefully disassembled everything. After disassembly, I wiped down and inspected the metal valve body, including two (stainless steel?) sleeves in the body which house the Seats and Springs (10). I checked for burrs, scratches, deposits, corrosion, or foreign matter. I removed some minor mineral deposits on the exterior threads by wiping them with a cloth. I applied plumber's grease to all new rubber parts, including the Seats and Springs (10). I carefully inspected them after installing to make sure they were fully inserted into the sleeves before attempting the next step. I fit the included Conversion Ball (8) with the 4 Holes (Up) and the Large Single Hole (Down), just as the instructions illustrate. When installing the new Cam and Lip seal (9) over the Conversion Ball, I found that the dark gray plastic seal housing had to be oriented properly to match a raised rib on the plastic with a slot on the right side of the metal valve body's threaded section. Following reassembly, the refurbished valve works very well. It operates smoothly and allows us to select a broad range of temperatures. Hopefully we can enjoy good service for a few more decades now.

I was quite pleased with the quality of this kit (as I had hoped since it was an original Delta product!). The materials seem sturdy and the instructions provided were easy enough to follow. The one thing I didn’t take into account was that the ball in this model differed slightly from the one in my fixture (my faucet’s ball had an extra line cut in to fit into a small pin in the fixture). Double check what you have before purchasing to make sure it is the exact right match. Regardless of the above, I was able to replace the handle and most of the “guts” of the fixture with no issue and it looks SO much better already.

I haven't had this installed yet so I can only comment on the fact that it is a replacement for what I have had in the home for 50 years. Hopefully the quality hasn't changed.

This kit was to upgrade an existing shower and usually only found at plumbing supply places. Delta products have always been quality and easy to work with

it was exactly what I needed.

Good quality and good price

Easy replacement. 15 minutes from start to finish!
