Q&A

Can this be used as a diverter?

Asked by: Max4402
Hi, Max4402! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the Delta MultiChoice Universal Tub and Shower Valve Body (R10000-LBX) cannot be used as a diverter assembly. We recommend to use our Delta Diverter R11000. Here is a link to this diverter body: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R11000 Best Regards, Rosanna

Can you tell me the exact shower only valve by model # for what I need? I want to use PEX 1/2" crimp for hot and cold inlets as well as 1/2 PEX outlet to the shower head.

Asked by: thomas
Thank you for your inquiry, Thomas! You may connect PEX tubing to the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-PX valve using the proper tooling with crimping PEX fitting and cold expansion PEX models. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-B-R10000%20Rev%20J.pdf Best regards, Tanya

CAN VALVE BE ADJUSTED FOR TEMPATURE LIMITS

Asked by: LYNNDON
Dear Lynndon, Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valve R10000-LBX is not designed with volume or temperature adjustments. The temperature can be adjusted on the cartridge assembly, that would come with the trim you get for your valve. Please see our How-To Video linked below or refer to your installation guide for help adjusting the stop. https://www.deltafaucet.com/video-gallery/video-page?videoId=n2_uZ7wgV1I Best regards, Tanya

What is inside of this valve?

Asked by: Sammy
Thank you for your question, Sammy! The R10000-LBX rough-in valve is hollow to allow room for a valve assembly or "cartridge". It contains two inlet ports for hot and cold water supplies and two outlet ports for a shower head and/or tub spout installation. The grey plastic part pictured here is a test cap that allows you to test and flush the valve. Please note, the necessary MultiChoice cartridge will be included in the chosen shower trim.

What trim kits/cartridge go with this valve?

We have this valve installed in our shower and need to find the correct trim kit/cartridge that is compatible. Can you provide a link to shower only trim kits (we do not need the shower head, just the handle) that work with this, or key words to search on that would allow us to confirm the correct trim kit/cartridge is compatible? Thanks
Asked by: Russ
Hi, Russ! Thank you for your question. Any new Delta trim kit we have will work. Here is a link to the trim kits available for our R10000-LBX: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets Once you get to the link, you will want to filter your choices.

For the r100000-unwsbxt valve what is the maximum thickness that the thin wall can be? Also, my thin wall already has a circle of about 5” diameter cut out. Will the thin wall mounting kit have enough room to grip the wall given the cutout?

Asked by: Larry
Thank you for your question, Larry. For most installations, we would recommend mounting the valve to a stringer in the wall. If you are unable to do so, you can use the escutcheon plate from the trim kit and the plaster guard to "sandwich" the wall for added stability. If you will not have the trim kit when the valve is installed, we would recommend the R10000-UNBXT, which will include a thin-wall mounting kit. We recommend using the plaster guard to cut the hole in the wall, and in a thin-wall installation the plaster guard should be behind the wall. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R10000-UNBXT Best regards, Jon
