a little expensive but does the job and works well... and the faucet handle looks better than the old style diamond shape handle.

Super easy to put in, fit perfectly with our old plumbing where most have the screws up higher on a diagonal, our needs to be at the bottom. This matched perfectly, looks great, so easy to install, very happy

This rebuild kit I found great, not only to modernize the look of the tub/shower, but also to remedy my leaky valve. The product looks good, but not quite as high quality as a new complete faucet install kit. I'd give the look and feel of this product a solid 7/10 whereas a new faucet entirely would be a 10/10. Overall it definitely beats having to open up a wall.I found one caveat however. The water flow is noticeably reduced at the tub spout after installing this. The new ball valve must be enviro friendly in that it is designed to save water. Similar to how new kitchen and bathroom sink faucets have lower flow as well. (1.5gpm vs the outgoing 2.2gpm). The shower head water flow difference is unnoticeable.

I bought this because our shower was not able to be turned all the way off anymore. Our shower previously had an aftermarket kit to convert to lever handle - it was terrible. The handle moved about 30 degrees before actually changing any setting - lots of 'slop'. Also, the plate was made of two parts, allowing water to leak through, and was made of plastic.This kit from Delta is MUCH better than the garbage universal kit from another manufacturer that was on there. Everything was made of metal. The valve ball is an actual conversion ball to change from the 'crystal ball' handle to a a proper lever handle. The handle now rotates toward the H for hot, and the C for cold. Very smooth operation, zero 'slop' in the handle. Very easy to install - grease everything up with silicone grease. This kit does not come with the tension adjuster, I'm not sure why. It doesn't seem to need it, so that is probably why, although you can buy the part individually and add it if you wanted more tension.When removing the old cap, be extremely cautious. You are very likely to destroy your valve due to a design that has the whole thing held in place by three small copper pipes. I had a couple plumbers not take the job because they knew how hard it was to remove. I soaked in vinegar for a few days (on Delta's recommendation) to remove calcium build-up, used PB Blaster penetrating oil, ran cold water through pipe and poured boiling water over cap, tapped hard on it to loosen. Still nothing, it was not going to come loose without shearing off the three copper pipes in the back. I ended up using a Dremel tool to cut the piece that covers the valve off. I then tried to grip the valve to hold it steady and use a pipe wrench to loosen the cap. I couldn't get a good enough grip on the valve to do it, but you might have better luck - mine was recessed into the wall too far. I ended up using a Dremel with a cutoff wheel to very carefully cut the cap off - use caution to not damage the valve threads. This worked great! I was able to get it off without damaging the valve at all. Once the old garbage was off, installing this kit was a piece of cake.My shower looks great now, the handle works as intended, and no more leak! I am very happy with this kit.If you tackle the job yourself, and your cap does not easily come off, I recommend going straight for the Dremel to remove it.
