Delta® is pleased to announce that its MultiChoice™ Universal has been singled out as a recipient of an MVP Award for special recognition as one of an elite group of new products, by Building Products magazine.

Each year, Building Products magazine Most Valuable Product Awards competition recognizes the best products introduced over the last year, representing all sectors of the building industry to be featured in Building Products magazine. Products are judged on how much value they add to a professional builders’ daily routine. More specifically, whether the product makes a professional’s job easier, more efficient, or if it reduces installation time, callbacks and labor costs. They also seek out products which solve problems, simplify installations, boost overall profits and add value to homes.  

“We’re pleased that the judges recognized how much flexibility and functionality the MultiChoice Universal offers,” said Paul Patton, senior product development manager, Delta Faucet Company. “This is one valve system that can dramatically simplify building processes and improve profitability for professionals.”

Delta’s MultiChoice Universal was selected because it offers versatility to professionals to make functional and stylish trim changes without ever changing the valve in the wall. “This appears to be an excellent product in terms of design and function,” said one judge. “Every plumber, general contractor and developer will appreciate that one valve fits all designs.”

The MultiChoice Universal allows three function options: single-function pressure balance, dual-function pressure balance, and a new dual-function thermostatic valve cartridge. Delta is the first and only manufacturer to offer the ability to install both pressure balance and thermostatic cartridges in one valve.  It provides plumbers, builders, wholesalers and hospitality many benefits such as easy shower upgrades, eliminates the chance of the wrong valve being installed, saves valuable shelf space with its reduced packaging size, and utilizes existing Delta brand trim packages.
