Delta 13/14 shower valve

[DaveVB]

From the post below, I almost hijacked; I came here for sort of this problem. Where can I find the large o-ring for the cap assembly in the photo the original poster posted? I got the rebuild kit- small o-rings, seats and springs but no large o-ring???????? A complete kit will be cheaper than a $17 valve.....when you have 100 of them to do. Thank you for your help.

I know Delta but have no idea what you’re wanting.

Sorry, The o-ring in the red circle.

That’s the cartridge O ring. Those don’t go bad. Why are you needing these ?

 

[DaveVB]

Surely you jest? An O-ring doesn't go bad? I have to go back and look where the water is actually coming from out of the handle area. Assumed the o-ring.
It may be coming through the plastic valve body is the other option? Looks like they formerly sold the "cap assembly" separate, but is now discontinued, replaced by the $80 valve body.

That’s the o ring seals the cartridge to the valve body and doesn’t move or have any moving parts that rub it so there’s no wear. That o ring outlasts the cartridge.

Delta still makes a cartridge to fit your faucet, they’ve updated the cartridge and it’s available for purchase.
