Remove your existing shower handle. For a single-handle Delta faucet, locate the setscrew (often under a cap). Use an Allen wrench to remove the setscrew, then carefully pull the handle off. If the setscrew is stubborn, consult alternative methods in the linked videos.
This project outlines the steps to replace your shower trim. It begins by emphasizing safety and turning off the water supply. Next, you remove the existing handle, often secured by a setscrew requiring an Allen wrench. After the handle is removed, the escutcheon and any additional trim pieces are carefully removed, sometimes requiring unscrewing or prying. Then, you install the new trim components according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically screwing or fastening them into place. Finally, the water supply is slowly turned back on, and all connections are checked thoroughly for leaks. If leaks are detected, connections are tightened, or components are disassembled and reassembled as needed. A qualified plumber should be contacted for persistent leaks.
