Love it
My family and I love this item. It was easy to install with little direction. The style and color goes perfectly with our bathroom scheme. It's easy to clean after bath and showers. Great quality. Our youngest child knows how to do the water perfectly with hurting himself.

Really nice Shower Diverter
As a Master Plumber you cannot go wrong with this brand. Their customer service is by far one of the best. This valve is easy to work on for the DIY’er. The cartridge is easy to replace and any home store should stock this brand. The finish on the trim is also nice. I definitely recommend this valve over other manufacturers.

Shower looks better than ever
My wife and I have recently been trying to update our bathroom and shower area. We wanted it to look a little more modern and looked at a bunch of different options. I'm so happy we went with this Delta faucet and handle. It was easy to install and they look absolutely amazing!! We also love the amount of jets that are on the shower head. I highly recommend to all!

Looks great and works great
I realize that it may not be much of an issue for many people, but we have extremely hard water and there are always water spots on everything. So, naturally, I was most excited to try this faucet combo because of the SpotShield Technology. I will say that it definitely makes a difference. Fingerprints aren't as prominent and water spots aren't nearly as bad as they have been with other faucets that I've used. Even before trying this faucet, I was impressed with the overall feel, look, and initial quality. Installation was about as straight-forward as it gets. I've installed a number of similar products in the past that look great, but disappoint upon further inspection. Everything seems top-of-the-line with this faucet combo and I'm quite pleased with it so far. Operation is smooth, the feel of all controls is just right, and performance is better than I had expected. If you're looking for a faucet combo that looks great, works great, and is on track to check the box in regard to longevity, then I would recommend taking a look at this one. I hope to continue using it well into the future and remain just as pleased as I was on day one.

works great!
This shower faucet works great! It doesn't always use my full water pressure, so that kind of sucks but it is very relaxing, this feels like a water fall. It was very easy to install. The bronze finish is super easy to clean and doesnt leave water spots on it.

I absolutely love everything about this! I moved into a really old home and I’m slowly updating the house. This Delta shower and valve is definitely a major upgrade from the simple old school handles and shower head. Installation was ok. And I love how it looks I love how modern it is. It works great and I love it!

Great Features!
I recently moved and was not happy with my shower head. I ordered this and it has made all the difference in the world. I love this showerhead and the chrome finish. The water pressure is great as well as having a single valve makes it easy to find the right temperature.

My favorite shower head ever!
Love this shower head kit. Not only the way it looks and it’s modern style but it regulates my water so well so my hot water doesn’t run out so quick either. Usually I run out mid way through showering. Now I’m able to actually take my time and still not run out. So very glad I got this shower kit!

Good quality, well made!
Very well made faucet and shower head! My husband had it all installed in less than a hour. Fairly easy, and it came with very good, detailed instructions. The shower head puts out a nice rain type flow. I love it! It truly is water spot resistant. Very good quality and looks nice!

I love this!
It's really amazing what a difference changing some fixtures can make! This really made our shower look so much more modern and the functionality is amazing! The fixtures are really nice quality and were very easy to install for someone with minimal experience. The shower head is large and has a rainfall style output. The handle is very easy to control and makes it an ease to get just the right temperature you want. It puts out good pressure without being overbearing. I absolutely love this and was so impressed.

Amazing
Hands down one of the best shower heads I've owned. Very easy to install. Step by step directions. Love the fact that it's a wider square shower head and not round. Control temp with lever. Over all amazing product. Great quality and very well made for price.

Q&A
Can I add a longer neck to the shower head so it extends farther away from wall? Also does the shower head articulate on the neck to raise up or down?

Yes, a longer shower arm can be used. The showerhead uses standard 1/2" threads. Yes, the showerhead pivots.

Can I add a handheld for cleaning the walls of shower? What do I need to purchase ?
Hi Lols!
Thank you for your question and we are happy to help. You are able to add a hand shower to the Delta 142864-BL. You would need to purchase the U4929-BL-PK shower arm diverter and you may add any of our hand showers with this attachment.

Does lever only go from Right side to top, ((IE using the clock to indicate on at cold to hot water, at 3:00 to 12:00) or does it go beyond (IE 3:00 to 9:00)? I ask due to water not that hot. Was, am I suppose to adjust the valve? How?
Hi AlMore,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 142864-BL.
The handle turn limit and maximum temperature will depend on adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop (RLS). See the installation instructions or a video of the adjustment:

Hi, I recently bought the Delta Geist 14 series shower faucet. I am wondering how is the Escutcheon water tight? Doesn’t seem to have any gasket or water tight seal behind just some foam that’s taped with double sided tape
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 142864-BL.
A bead of silicone can be used to seal the escutcheon to the wall or if the wall is uneven.
Please reach out for further assistance or with any additional questions!

I adjusted the rls counterclockwise so I would have hot water, that also makes the lever go past the 45degree angle to almost 75degree angle right?
Hi Marilyn!
Thank you for your question and we are happy to help. This does not affect the lever. With any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us again.

Is it possible to add a hand held to an existing MODEL#: 144864-OB shower head? If so, what parts do I need and where can I order them? Thank you!
Hello Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company!
Yes, you can purchase a shower arm diverter that will connect directly to the shower arm. The shower head will connect to the front of the shower arm diverter and the handshower hose will connect to the bottom connection. To switch modes between the shower head, hand shower, and both, there is a lever on the shower arm diverter itself. Please refer to the link below!
U4920-PK - WITH hand shower mount - https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/U4920-PK.html
U4929-PK - WITHOUT hand shower mount - https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/U4929-PK.html

How to adjust the hot and cold water
Hi Anthony, thank you for your interest in the 142864!
When turning the handle on it will automatically be cold. Adjusting the handle up will allow the water to go from warm to hot. To adjust the rotational limit stop to make water hotter, please view the Maintenace and Installation sheet in the link below on page 9.
Please contact us directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance.
