Shower Valve Cartridge Assembly for Delta 13/14 Series Faucets

The RP46074 is a replacement shower cartridge suitable for Delta's multi-choice universal valve bodies, including the Delta rough-in R10000, R1100, R1800, and R2200 models, among others. This cartridge is designed to fit all Delta single-handle 13/14 series tub and shower faucets, but it is not compatible with the 1300/1400 series.

One of the key features of this replacement cartridge is its safety design. Equipped with a pressure balance mechanism, the RP46074 helps maintain water temperature within a safe range, with variations limited to within ±3.6°F (±2°C). This helps protect users from sudden changes in hot or cold water pressure, reducing the risk of scalding or uncomfortable temperature fluctuations.

The construction of the RP46074 cartridge is designed for durability, with a high-quality metal and plastic composition. This ensures the cartridge can withstand extended use without compromising its functionality. Additionally, the cartridge includes a small gear inside, which serves as a temperature adjustment mechanism. If the water temperature is not hot enough, users can simply pull and turn the gear to adjust the temperature, with the left side providing colder water and the right side delivering hotter water.

Installing the RP46074 replacement cartridge is a straightforward process. No special tools are required, and the cartridge can be replaced without the need to access the wall behind the faucet. Before installing the new cartridge, it is important to clean the area around the old cartridge to remove any contaminants that may interfere with the proper seating of the new component.

The RP46074 package includes the replacement cartridge and two black gaskets, providing everything needed for a successful installation. To ensure a proper and leak-free installation, it is recommended to close the water valve before starting the process.

After installing the new cartridge, users should adjust the rotational limit stop to the cold side to avoid potential burns when the valve handle is turned to the hot side. This safety feature helps prevent accidental scalding.

The RP46074 replacement cartridge is an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade or repair their Delta 13/14 series tub and shower faucets. Its durable construction, safety features, and ease of installation make it a convenient and reliable solution for maintaining a functional and comfortable shower experience.

If customers are not fully satisfied with the RP46074 cartridge, the manufacturer offers a responsive customer service experience, promising a reply within 24 hours and a guarantee of a 100% replacement or a full refund. The company's ultimate goal is to ensure customer satisfaction with its products.
