Replacing Delta Shower Cartridge

- Caution! Be aware that there are 2 different Delta replacement shower cartridges that look the same. One cartridge will only work if is your home was built BEFORE 2005. The other replacement cartridge is for homes built AFTER 2005. So make sure you have that information available when making your purchase. At the end of the video I show you the back of the one I purchased in this video to complete the job 🙂
You are 100% right to the point. Thanks for not telling us about your vacation or your back problems. Best video on this subject I have found.
It's refreshing isn't it
Man I totally agree you were spot on he did a phenomenal job getting straight to it
God damn thank you! All these videos are 20 minutes long and rambling. Short and sweet!
Hi Sam,
Thank you for this video, I am only adding to help as you did a fine job. The first thing is to spray the big brass nut with Liquid Wrench many times. Then very lightly tap the nut around, Very lightly.Then the way to get that thin large brass cartridge nut off is a pair of Channellock Round Jaw #442 pliers in most DIY and hardware stores, it's cheaper than aspirin and these pliers won't bind the soft brass nut, instead breaking it loose by setting them to the second to largest opening and applying as little pressure as possible. A regular pipe wrench on soft brass tends to bind it rather than assist. Just sharing my long experience. I have ruined a many!
You have it right Sam, but from the older cartridges, 1993 to 2001, this is my experience.
First of all if you have and older 1300/1400 series cartridge with the lower balancing portion being Opaque and top end being white, this is the old rp19804 which must be replaced with the new blue bottom 19804 that Sam is showing. Folks, don't be deceived by Delta's identity website because there are two different replacement cartridges "1300-1400, and T13/14 series" that use the term "this is the current Multichoice Universal" which has their patent on it. The T 13/14 "Multichoice Universal" insinuates that it is one of the replacements, but it doesn't fit. I have one of these in my truck for a while which I tried "RP46074" to replace the old Opaque cartridge with and it didn't work. The spacing between the bottom two round hot and cold inlets of the balancing valve have about a 1/8" difference in their spread. This is very confusing. Check out Delta's indentifying website at;
www.deltafaucet.com/shower-cartridges
for pictures of the cartridges. But use your discretion by what I mentioned above. An rp46074 "Multichoice Universal", and and RP74236" Multichoice Universal" will not replace and "old" rp19804 Opaque bottom cartridge. The "Multichoice Universal" as well as the "P type" stamped on the top gray part side is deceiving. Use a new rp19804 blue bottom like Sams video.
Sorry this is long, but I just got screwed by the unexplained information on Delta's website between pre 2002 1300/1400 series and the T13/14 series Multichoice above.
I have been plumbing for 47 years and specialize in service and repair, but am on a smaller island in Hawaii and don't work on these very often. I usually am able to replace the washers and springs. If replacing washers and springs doesn't fix it, it is a split in the center glue joint on the bottom balancing valve.
Delta is my all time favorite brand for quality and ease of repair, no other beats them for their category. But I am very disappointed that they don't even have the cartridge number on the cartridge despite all of the very small stamped writing on it.
I will be sending a copy of this as well as calling them to help clarify their website.
Thanks again Sam, and Aloha, Paul, Mauna Kea Plumbing Co., Hilo, Hawaii
getting the bonnet nut off is pretty easy but stuck cartridges are a real pain
Most new have shut off screws right inside there (1 on hot and 1 on cold).
I learned today, those don't always work though. Turned both off and started to remove the cartridge and water started gushing out. Had to run out to the street to shut main off.
Always learning new things!
I was just removing to take pics to get new cartridge.
This shower had all of a sudden become only a trickle of water. Thats why I was there.
When I removed it, only half of it came out. Had to really carefully pry the blue part out.
Once I cleaned everything and put it all back together it worked like new. Go figure🤷♂️
Finally! Found a video for the shower valve as old as mine. Thank you thank you thank you!
THANK YOU for clear explanation, great video AND getting right to the point!
My cartridge went out and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Spent a good time Googling it until I found this video. God bless you!
Dude! You got done in a minute 51 what a lot of other videos took a really long time. That's the info I needed to keep moving. Thanks!
First off, Love the efficiency of this video. Most would take 4 to 7 minutes to convey the same good info. Very much appreciated. Though, there is a spot where you're holding a container of "grease" (?) for just a moment with no mention of it. That threw me! Still, Hats off for the condensed tutorial.
Thank you! I have the exact same fixture and was having trouble finding the correct part number. I also was not positive on how to do it. After watching your video it took less than 10 minutes to change it out.
This is how tutorials should be. Thank you.
I did it! It took me a while to figure it out but I've completed the task. Thank you for the video and the easy steps.
A lot easier to remove the nut with a strap wrench! Video was a great help!
Thanks for the info, pretty straight forward and we'll documented in the video.
I appreciate you being straight to the point no bullshit
Very informative Sam. Thanks for the heads up on my next project.
appreciate it buddy. So stressful turning the water off to house. Wife asks “will you be done in 45min???”
Very very helpful. Thank you for your video.
Thanks for the video. Straight to the point and easy to understand, made my replacement easy.
Sam your video was very helpful, straight to the point. 👍
I like the handles that are held on with a screw in the handle instead of a set screw
Sam, awesome video. It cost me 30 bucks and 30 mins. Thanks!!!!
30 for the cartridge? Anything other than basic tools needed?
very good knowledgeable information. Thanks for the Video..
Thank you you speak English 😊
Right to the point , helped me a lot
Great short vid bro....If you have trouble removing the brass cartridge ring....take a decent size hammer and place the face (or the side) of the hammer on one side of the ring....then tap on the opposite side with another hammer....moving the hammers all the way around the ring....TAKE YOUR TIME....I probably make close to 100 taps...IT'S WORTH IT. It will separate the threads so that if you grip it (semi-gently) with some newer (sharp teeth) channel locks it will turn. Use some plumbers grease on everything to re-install the new one.....the next guy will thank you.
Best to take the cartridge with you to store....but if you can't.... buy both size cartridges....blue one and white one....compare CLOSELY WHICH ONE MATCHES THE ONE REMOVED....SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN LENGHT...take back the one that doesn't quite fit. (expensive)
This video was a godsend. Thank you so much.
This little czcams.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Still helpful. Thank you.
Wonderful channel Sam, helped me out with the replacement of my mailbox lock and now this came in absolutely handy. Peace brother and thank you, and yes I did subscribe, much, much useful and needed information.
Awesome. Thanks again Sam for your time. God bless.
Bravo Sam and God Bless .
You showed me what to do, and
I took my time and I did it !
Thanks for an understandable short video . ( one guy had a 12 minute video. No: I didn’t watch it )
I had already gone over to
Home Cheapo & picked up a whole new shower faucet : $69.00 .
I’ll return that now because the cartridge was just
$19..89 .
Sam : Your Are THE ONE ! 🍸
And I just proudly subscribed !👍
How did you remove the second part of the cartridge? Mine is stuck in the pipe and won’t budge
i'm in the same boat, how did you take that out Sam
Same
That grease is oil based which eats away at rubber o rings. You should be using silicone based lubricant. It works better on the valves anyway
Great video.. FYI: some nuts can be purchased in store.
Thank you, video tutorial was great
Sam my Delta faucet is leaking. It is very old. A plumber came and wanted $1100.00 parts and labor. He said he had to break the wall behind the bath tub and then go behind and fix and work in the front. I think he was trying to take me for a ride.
Not to mention thanks a lot you didn't even show how to put that plate back on because you got to really watch for those screws in the holes
Easy peasy! Thanks my dude!
Thank you.
How did you remove the cartridge. The second part is stuck in the pipe
To all who couldnt get the inner part of the cartridge out of the outer housing - the answer is simple. Make sure the two parts of the cartridge stay locked together when pulling it out and they will come out together. Do not twist or turn the outer part as doing that unlocks the two parts and leaves the inner one behind. Pull straight to remove.
Here in 2021...looks like this is gonna be a project...
Thanks, it is just like mine.
It was very helpful
Thanks for the video
Dude that retaining nut is readily available at plumbing supplies store
"Caution! Be aware that there are 2 different Delta replacement shower cartridges that look the same. One cartridge will only work if is your home was built BEFORE 2005.

ok, cool. i gotta take mines back. mines is for AFTER 2005. glad i read the back before cracking it open. so, is this thing just plug and play or what?
Would of been helpful if you told us all which way the cartridge goes in...
Man that nut is on there good. How did you manage to take that off without breaking anything?
I appreciate how-to videos, but this one is like a parts list. I wanted to see it actually coming out but that was edited out.
Good video. Thanks
How did you get that small, circular cap cover (that covers the bolt part) off? It’s in there so tight that I can’t even get a pin in along the edge to left it. Ty.
Did you try re-using the original cartridge after cleaning all that sediment out? That could have been the problem the whole time.
Can you get the cartridge retaining nut off with a large set of channel locks or would a pipe wrench be best?
Anyone know how to loosen the brass nut that holds the cartridge in? Mines stuck and I don’t want to break anything. Tried holding the housing and nut with pliers & wont budge.
Use a strap wrench on the nut.
I tried to unscrew the Phillips screw that holds the knob on my bathtub
faucet but all it does is turns, and it doesn't unscrew? Can you tell me
how to get the knob off? I can put a new one on if I can get this old
one-off. All it does is turn, it's tight but iy=t just turns without
coming off? Please help. Thank You for any advice.
I've been watching your plumbing vids and they are very helpful. I've watched several vids for replacing shower faucets and they always show how to replace the seat. I bought a replacement kit for my old Union Brass set. When I remove the old handles and stems, I do not see a seat. Were the old faucets put in wrong? The new seats can't find anything to thread onto.
They sell those brass nuts separately....Amazon
How do you remove the cartridge? It's not coming out for me.
I had the same problem. I sprayed wd40 around the cartridge and let it soak in. Within a couple minutes, it came right out.
What happens if u can't get to the area to turn off the water supply? Can u still quickly get that knob screw undone and still get the job done?? Please let me know. I started this project at night thinking it was as easy as these other videos made just to make it to your video and found out that I'm screwed!😩
Mine is stuck to but I can't see the replys from the others. How do I get it out?
Would you happen to know the part number of the acrylic shower handle? I lost mine and I could not seem to find a replacement.
I just bought new clear knob for my Delta shower control at Home Depot. Exact match for my 25 yer old shower. I think it was about $26.
Mine wont go in. I have the right one
And when you took the initial cop off you have to be very careful you didn't bother explaining that
How can you loosen a tight screw that will not move on shower and tub facets
Angela Hall chew on it
Took me about 2 hours to get the nut off to find out the cartridge is stuck so hard that it's going to take forever to get out.
What about the hot water? Do you need to shutdown water from heater too?
No
How did you remove the cartridge?! Mine is stuck
I had the same problem. I sprayed it with wd40 and let it soak in. Within a couple minutes it came right out.
Take a shot every time you hear cartridge 😆
Why on EARTH didn’t you mention what cartridge you are replacing? That’s the cartridge I need but I don’t know the model number or the part number!!! I mean they make DOZENS of them! All you said is we are going to be replacing a Delta cartridge…yeah, we got that. WHAT cartridge you are going to be replacing helps! How about mentioning what model Delta faucet for starters…before and after 2005 is useless because many homes have already updated!
Are you serious buddy you need to show how you put the cartridge back in
Those videos!!!👎👎👎👎👎
What the heck was inside there??? Bugs?!?!
Right?!
That image made me instinctively
lift my foot off the floor
and onto the safety of the sofa! 😨
@@glitter-lk5dz That's what I thought too.
Clean that bathroom too ick
Come on man the video was good until you popped up the cartridge and didn't even show how it's going to be tight be in there until you have to Jiggle It Around
Wow. Honestly best and easiest cartidge replacement video. I'd give you a kiss on the cheek, but lets both settle for a like, share and subscribe.
-TRUMP 2020
