Answer:

Thank you for your question. I apologize that you are having an issue and by your description, it sounds like you are having shower rise. This can occur when any of the following situations are not followed:

1) The distance between the tub spout and valve has to be between 8"-18".
2) Copper or iron pipe is the only thing that can be used between the tub spout and the valve.
3) There can only be one elbow from the valve to the tub spout.

If any of these are not followed, you will have shower rise until the problem is corrected.

Answer:

Hi Chris,

The R10000-UNBX and the R10000-UNWS are completely interchangeable. The only difference between the two is that the R10000-UNWS has screwdriver stops which allow the user to be able to turn the water off to the valve for maintenance without having to turn the water off to the entire home.

Answer:

Hi Ed!

The difference between the R10000-UNBX and the R10000-IP is the type of pipe used in the installation. The R10000-UNBX can be used with copper, pvc, pex or iron pipe; whereas, the R10000-IP is made specifically for an installation with iron pipe.

what size hole should be cut out in the backerboard/tile for this valve

Danwhoaskedquestion

Mechanicsburg, PA

I am now installing the hardibacker for my shower. Do I cut a square hole around the black plastic piece, or just a circular hole around the other thin plastic cover? Does the square black plastic piece stay in place or do I remove it? Also, as currently installed, the front of the square black plastic piece will be end up being 1/8" to 1/4" behind the finished front face of the tile-is this ok?

The directions were very unclear. Thank you so much!

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNBX needs a hole size big enough for the valve to fit through but not too big so that it can't be covered up by the escutcheon plate. You can use the plasterguard as a guide. Included here are the instructions for installing your valve. The measurements to the finished wall are on page 2.

This is a follow up question, for the portion that was not answered. Does the plasterguard stay in place in the final installation, or should it be removed? is it only a construction guide? Thank you.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Your Addison tub faucet contains a rotational limit stop. that may need adjusting to allow more hot water to flow through the valve. Included here are the instructions for adjusting the limit stop. The first one is if you have a 1700 series faucet with a temperature knob and volume control that are separate. The instructions are on page 9.

http://www.deltafaucet.com/customer...

The second set are for the 1400 series faucet with only a temperature contol. The directions are on page 8.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. We would recommend contacting our Home Owner/Warranty line at 800-345-3358 to discuss how the features we plumbed to the valve. Without more information, it is difficult to determine what exactly is going on with your diverter.

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNWS can be used with any 1300/1400 series or any 1700 series trims. Once it is in the wall, the trims can easily be switched to upgrade or change finishes without changing the valve.

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNBX can be used with CPVC as long as the piping between your tub spout and the valve is copper. The CPVC can be used everywhere else.

R10000-UNBX Has a minimum Spec for the tub spout of 8", Can I make it 6 1/2 inches

Greg

I am doing a three knob retrofit on a tile wall, the distance from the center of the valve to where the old tub spout is about 6 1/2 inches not the specified minimum of 8". I am using a R10000-UNBX , with the escutcheon and a T17430-H2O trim kit. It will be a lot of extra work to get the 8 inch minimum distance from the center of the valve to the tub spout, is this a strict minimum dimension? Is there something I can do, such as wider or narrower pipe to the spout and only have a 6 1/2 inche distance from the center of the valve to the spout. The shower function(Not The Tub) will be used 99.9% of the time,
Thanks,
Greg

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this has to be the measurement. It needs to be between 8" and 18" or you will probably have shower rise. Shower rise means the water will rise up and come out the showerhead when you are trying to use the tub spout only.

What is the best valve to use when installing the BT14 series tub and shower models? Based on other Q&A information, I believe it would be the R1000-UNWSBXT. Is that correct?

Answer:

Thank you for your question. We would recommend using the R10000-UNWS unless you are mounting the faucet on an acrylic tub. The thin wall mount which is R10000-UNWSBXT is what we recommend for acrylic tubs.
