Capuchon de température 17 Series RP75440BL

How could such an expensive bathtub faucet break so easily? There is no way to replace this cap without breaking the small plastic hinge that keeps it in place. Delta, how are we supposed to place these on without breaking them?

I read some of the reviews on here (it has a 1.1 rating which perhaps would be lower if you did not have to at least put a 1 star rating). I read about the plastic having advantages of corrosion. heat transfer, etc. My suggestion to Delta would be to add a screw-type feature that would allow people to tighten/loosen as needed, yet would allow the unit to have easy on/off rather than pressure on/off (which makes it susceptible to the tab-breaking everyone seems to complain about). This screw could be stainless steel (rust issue solved), small enough (no great amount of heat transfer), ease of installation/removal for people. Here's hoping :)

Lasted two years and broke after that . We replaced and the snaps broke again. I don’t want to replace the entire thing but I may have to :(

As others have noted, this part is a weak plastic formulation. The tab broke when attempting to "snap" it on. Mosco Canada stated "This is not a warranty issue" and suggested that I go and buy a replacement at a hardware store. It clearly SHOULD BE under warranty. I am not impressed.

We are at the tail end of a major bathroom renovation and have been very excited about our new Delta shower with wall jets. As we are getting ready for the final stages to have this shower up and running the temperature control knob broke easily during installation. I had to go online and order another with expedited shipping so that our subcontractors could finish. I was surprised to see that this was a common customer experience and hope Delta is taking steps to insure that this part is sturdier in the future given the expense of the overall shower system.
