PRODUCT FEATURES
The smooth lines and elegant form of the Delta® Nicoli™ bath collection add a modern touch to your bath. Delta H2Okinetic® Showers look different because they are different. Using advanced technology, H2Okinetic showers sculpt water into a unique wave pattern, giving you 3X the coverage of a standard shower head.* The end result is a shower that provides more coverage, more warmth and more intensity for a truly drenching shower experience. While other products may gather unsightly mineral build-up over time, Delta soft rubber Touch-Clean® spray holes allow any mineral residue to simply be wiped away for an instantly refreshed look – with no need for soaking or the aid of chemical cleaners. The pause setting gives you ample space for shaving, lathering and other shower tasks, then easily restarts the water with the temperature where you left off. This spray setting helps you conserve water, so you can worry less about depleting your supply of hot water - and you help the environment too. Delta® pressure-balance valves use Monitor® Technology to protect you and your family from sudden temperature changes. Delta WaterSense labeled faucets, showers and toilets use at least 20% less water than the industry standard—saving you money without compromising performance.
  • H2Okinetic® Shower technology sculpts water into a unique wave pattern, forming a powerful drench spray
  • Gives you the feeling of more water without using more water
  • Monitor® pressure balance valve keeps water temperature within a safe ±3° F (±1.6° C), helping to protect you from sudden changes in hot or cold water pressure
  • Spray settings include: H2OKinetic spray, Full Body spray, Full Spray with Massage, Massaging spray, and Pause
  • Pause feature reduces water to a trickle, giving you space for shaving, lathering and other shower tasks while maintaining your temperature settings
  • Soft, rubber Touch-Clean® spray holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up from the spray face of your shower head and hand shower with the touch of a finger
  • Complete unit includes trim and MultiChoice® Universal Valve with rough-in
  • ADA Compliant
  • WaterSense® labeled shower heads use at least 20% less water than the industry standard without compromising performance

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Modern Skeek Look Delta products never disappoint. I replaced an older delta valve with this one after moving the valve closer to the seat in my converters bath to shower project. The older one was nice but a little too big for my ‘new’ shower. Love the simple lines and how it works with the rest of my shower hardware.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful and sturdy shower fixtures Extremely good quality bathroom shower fixture set. We love the color, design, durability and look of this set. It was also extremely easy for my husband (who is handy) to install. So far water pressure is good and it seem to be easy to keep clean!

Can this shower valve be installed outdoors? can it be winterized?

Asked by: muanis
Hi Muanis, Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 142749-BL Nicoli™ Monitor® 14 Series H2Okinetic® Shower In Matte Black. We will be happy to assist you as quickly as possible. Our faucets are not currently tested for outdoor weather. Yes, you would need to protect the component from freezing water damage. Our warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by outdoor installations. Our finishes like Venetian Bronze and Matte Black may not hold up well to outdoor exposure. A chrome finish would be best, followed by a PVD finish like stainless. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you!

Why is the product designed so that the head does not screw completely onto the shower arm so the threads can't be seen? Visible threads on the arm after spending a substantial amount of money on a trim kit doesn't make any sense from an aesthetic point.
