I thought my DIY project was coming to a close, but….
I replaced the old delta value with a new R10000 along with ball valves as a backup to allow restore of water to the house when I make a major mistake.
Note: this is my first sweat job, I did practice a few sweats prior.
Problems:
1st problem I purchased the wrong cartridge at Lowes RP19804.
Online I discovered I need I think (they say it fits the R10000)? :
Delta Cartridge 1700 Series Fits the R10000 Valve part# RP46463.
Is that really the correct cartridge# for valve R10000-UNWS???
2nd problem handle face plate, this could be major. From what I can see on-line all of Delta's face plate for the handle is quite big in diameter. The smallest 7.5 in diameter? My problem is that the current faucet is very close to the handle, the face plate will overlap the faucet. Is there a smaller diameter That I am unaware of, maybe change brands other than Delta for the plate???
Dose any one know of a smaller handle plate I can use????
Thanks!
