Danco 10004 Trim Kit for Delta Tub and Shower Faucets - Brushed Nickel

In this review of the Danco 10004 trim kit, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, cost-effective way to refresh a Delta tub or shower without replacing the valve. The kit is aimed at DIY homeowners and plumbers who need a compatible replacement for multiple Delta cartridge and ball valve series. The single biggest reason to buy is compatibility: it replaces parts for the Delta Monitor 1300/1400, MultiChoice 13/14 and 600 series, including options with a push button diverter, so it solves cosmetic wear or handle damage while reusing the existing valve.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Designed to fit Delta Monitor 1300/1400, MultiChoice 13/14 cartridge series and Delta 600 ball series, which reduces the chance of needing a valve replacement.
• Two handle options: Includes a metal lever and a clear acrylic handle so users can choose the finished look that matches their bathroom style.
• Complete kit: Ships with faceplate trim, screws, adapters and an allen wrench so most replacements are possible right out of the box.
• Durable finishes: Brushed nickel faceplate and stainless steel parts help resist corrosion and keep a polished appearance over time.
• Installation guidance: BILT 3D interactive instructions provide step-by-step voice and text guidance to simplify the DIY install process.
• Flush fit tip: The trim plate requires a minimum 3-1/2 in wall opening for the offset portion to recess and sit flush, helping avoid installation gaps.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for homeowners doing a bathroom refresh who already have a compatible Delta valve and want a quick cosmetic upgrade without the cost or effort of replacing the valve body. It is also suitable for contractors and handypersons who need a reliable, in-stock trim option that covers several Delta series.

It is less suitable for installations where the valve is nonstandard, badly corroded, or where the wall does not allow a 3-1/2 in recess for the trim plate. Buyers who prefer all-metal construction may also want a different trim option, since this kit uses plastic and acrylic components in places.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Broad compatibility with multiple Delta cartridge and ball valve series simplifies finding the right trim.
• Includes both metal and acrylic handle choices for flexibility in appearance.
• BILT interactive instructions make the install process straightforward for DIYers.
• Brushed nickel and stainless components provide a durable, rust-resistant finish.

Cons

• Some users report the plastic parts feel less robust than all-metal alternatives, which may affect perceived quality.
