MultiChoice® Universal Tub / Shower Rough - PEX Crimp

Turning the valve upside down may be a little inaccurate or misleading. I am sure this is unintentional. If you go to the trim Monitor 17 Series "Maintenance and installation sheet" page 3, document 76652 Rev. G (https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/76652%20Rev.%20G.pdf) at bottom right corner of the page you will see clearly you need to reverse the cartridge "hot side" to the right side of the cartridge. This reverses the hot and cold internally within the cartridge making the operation of the unit functional as to hot and cold on the dial. Since this is being discussed on the R10000 valve body it is NOT recommended to turn the valve body upside down since this will cause problems, malfunctioning or in some cases the need to remove and turn over the valve for the trim to work. Depending on the materials used in the installation this could be a costly mistake.

Hi, Tommy! Thank you for your question. We do not recommend using 3/4" PEX Supply Line from the tub spout up to the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-PX Rough Valve Body as it has a smaller internal diameter and will restrict flow to the tub spout assembly. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Bill! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice R10000 rough valve body works will all Delta Monitor and TempAssure trim kits. Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question, dcdc! There is no difference between the performance or flow rate of these valves other than how they are installed. The R10000-PX is a Pex connection valve. Models with the "HF" suffix are for shower only installation and will have a higher flow rate whereas models with the "WS" suffix (with stops) will have a slightly lower flow rate depending on the series of trim used and the PSI to available. Best regards, Edward

Hi, Turn0199! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-PX Rough Valve Body will work with PEX lines. However, the bottom port will need to be plugged for shower only. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Lucas86! Thank you for your question. Any of our Delta Monitor 13/14 Series, 17 Series, and TempAsssure 17T Series Trim Kits will work with the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-PX Rough Valve Body. Here is a link to our available trim kits: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, MLWH! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-PX and R10000-PXWS rough valves requires 1/2" PEX connections. Best Regards, Rosanna

For purposes of this conversation the valve IS the PEX fitting. What I want to know is the recommended TYPE of PEX Type A or Type B PEX connection for the "crimp" method? The difference is the type of barb that is on the valve itself. It does say "crimp" style valve however there are three styles of crimp fittings each is designed for either PEX A, B or C. They are not interchangeable. You may have meant the the valve is compatible with any PEX pipe. If this is the case I go back to my original question, "Is this valve water connections (crimp style) for Type A or Type B PEX?" However I do understand that the valve is designed for crimp fitting type PEX connectors.

Hi JohnR, Thank you for your question. The stringer should be 2 3/4" from the finished wall, plus or minus 1/4". This will leave approximately 1 1/4" (+/- 1/4") extending from the wall, with the bonnet nut installed. Best regards, Jon

Dear Bobby, Thank you for your question. Our tub and shower faucets have a rotational limit stop which allows you to control how far the handle will rotate to the hot side. Please check out the How-To Video I've linked below for help adjusting the stop. https://www.deltafaucet.com/video-gallery/video-page?videoId=n2_uZ7wgV1I Best regards, Tanya

Hi Derek, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the valve cannot be installed this way. The tub spout requires a straight drop from the valve to prevent back pressure. If you prefer, you may install the handle so that the off position is at 9 o'clock instead of 3 o'clock. It will still rotate counter-clockwise to turn on, and will not align with the Hot, Cold, or Off markings on the escutcheon plate. Best regards, Jon

Hi Dan, Thank you for your question. The tub and shower trim kit will include a diverter tub spout, which will allow you to divert water to the shower head. No additional valve is needed. Best regards, Jon

Hi UniversalValve, Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model R10000-PX. This mixing valve has hot and cold inlets on the sides, a shower outlet on top, and a tub spout outlet on the bottom. To divert water to two shower features, a diverter valve rough and trim are needed. A diverter valve rough is R11000. See our selection of diverter trims here: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/shower-components/diverters-volume-controls Please reach out for further assistance or with any additional questions! Best Regards, Bryan Digital Communications Specialist

Dear Dave45040, Thank you for contacting us back, I would be happy to help you. The water would need to be shut off at the main shut offs, I have also included the flushing instructions below. To flush the open valve without the cartridge, please follow the directions below. 1) Remove the handle by loosening the set screw on the side of the base of the handle. The set screw is either an 1/8" or 3/32" allen screw. So you will need to use the appropriate size allen wrench to loosen it. Loosen it just enough to be able to easily pull the handle off. * Note. If there is calcium build-up at the base of the handle it may be necessary to soak it in a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Simply saturate the rag with the 50/50 solution, wrap it around the handle base and place a plastic bag over it. I would recommend do this the night before removing the handle. 2) After removing the handle, remove the trim sleeve. 3) Then you will need to remove the bonnet nut. The bonnet nut is the threaded ring at the valve opening. It unscrews counterclockwise. You will need a pipe wrench or a pair of channel locks. 4) After removing the bonnet nut, you will need to pull the cartridge straight out. You may need a small skinny bladed screwdriver to wedge in between the lip of the cartridge and the valve to help start it out. 5) Once the cartridge is removed, you will have an open valve body. 6) Next, shut the shower door or curtain and turn the water on to the valve. Water should gush out much like an open fire hydrant. Have someone observe if there is good water pressure coming out of the valve and let flush for 30 seconds. 7) Re-install the cartridge and re-assemble in reverse of how it was disassembled. The Tub/Shower should then have a good flow. If it does not, the cartridge will need to be replaced. Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you. Best Regards, Nicole
