Greetings!
Long time lurker, first time poster and I wanted to run this through what I have come to know as my go-to forum for pluming questions.
I have a single valve Delta tub/shower fixture that is constantly running and I guess I just don't trust those I've spoken to already about the replacement cartridge they all feel "will have no problem". We purchased the home in '98 and was built around '88 - '90 and we have never replaced the fixture, enclosure or anything. On recommendation from several at Home Depot, I picked up the blue Delta cartridge (PN#RP19804) cartridge but have not done anything with it since it appears it's not correct for the image below.
I have no real ability to get into the wall unless I rip out the enclosure so I'm trying to see if I can get an ID from images taken at the fixture. Nothing has part numbers and the only thing I have go on is the Delta name and the U.S. Patent #3674048. No model, names or anything.
I believe it's of a 1600 series and the replacement is the Delta #RP1991 but wanted to make sure. As well the link below is to a thread on thisforum to whom I believe had the same from a visual aspect only.
