The Delta Lahara T17438-SS is a two-handle Monitor 17 Series shower-only trim kit in Brilliance Stainless. The 17-series adds independent volume control — a second handle lets you set temperature once and then adjust flow separately, so you never need to readjust your preferred heat setting. The Lahara collection's soft transitional curves extend to both handles and the oval escutcheon. WaterSense certified at 1.75 GPM. ADA compliant. Trim kit only — R10000-UNBX rough-in valve sold separately.
Why would I choose the 17-series Lahara over the 14-series?
The 17-series gives you independent control of temperature and water volume through two separate handles. You set your ideal temperature once, then use the volume handle to reduce or stop the flow without changing the heat setting. When you turn the volume back up, the temperature is exactly where you left it. The 14-series only has one handle that controls temperature and whether water flows, with no fine-grained volume control.
Does this trim kit include a showerhead?
No. The T17438-SS includes the two handles, escutcheon plate, and cartridge assembly, but not a showerhead. You will need to purchase a Delta showerhead separately. The shower arm and showerhead connection is standard 1/2 inch NPT, compatible with any Delta showerhead or third-party showerhead with the same connection.
