Hi, KhrisB! Thank you for your question. The Delta part number RP46074 is for the 13/14 series trim. The Delta RP46463 is for the 1700 series trim. Best regards, Themar

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNBX is recommended for only Delta Faucet trims. We do not recommend using them with other brands.

Thank you for your question, Craftydad! The R11000 diverting valve can be used with a 6-setting cartridge to allow you to switch between three individual products or ports with independent as well as shared positions. If two of the body sprays are used on the same port, then you will not need another valve. The diverter rough will switch between these sprays, the shower head, as well as the third spray both by themselves as well as in shared functions. This will also work if you are wanting all of the sprays on one setting. You will only need a 3-setting diverter cartridge for that type of installation in which you can use the shower head and sprays alone or at the same time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions or need further assistance with this model. https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/70551%20Rev%20F.pdf Best regards, Edward

Hi gazzerp, Thank you for your question. In your shower only application you can use pex tubing on the connection from the upside down tub port to the R110000 diverter rough. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question, Fugacity! Model R10000-UN is sold as a quantity of twelve (12) whereas the R10000-UNBX is single box model. Best regards, Edward

Thank you for your question, dman97! The plaster guard can be left in place or removed in a standard installation. It is primarily used as a guide for cutting the hole in the wall but is used as a support in thin wall installations. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question. One example of a thin wall would be Fiberglass. Installation instructions are included with Delta part #RP47202. The valve body assembly with thin wall support are installed against back of the mounting surface. The thin wall plate is mounted against the wall with self tapping screws. This installation acts as a support.

Thank you for your question, Greg! The UNBX suffix means that it has Universal 1/2" IPS and 1/2" sweat connections (UN) and is a single box (BX) version. You can find more information in the Technical Specifications here: https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/dsp-b-r10000_J.pdf Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, Steve. The 8"-18" measurement is from the center of the valve to the center of the tub spout pipe. Best regards, Jon

Dear Nancy, Thank you for your question! To complete your custom shower with the Ashlyn 5-Setting H2OKinetic 54445-RB-PK faucet, you would just need a shower arm RP6025RB and flange RP6023RB. https://www.deltafaucet.com/search-results?searchTerm=rp6025rb https://www.deltafaucet.com/search-results?searchTerm=rp6023rb Best regards, Tanya

Thank you for your question. We would recommend using the R10000-UNWS unless you are mounting the faucet on an acrylic tub. The thin wall mount which is R10000-UNWSBXT is what we recommend for acrylic tubs.

Hi Deb, Thank you for your question. The rotational limit stop is located at the end of the cartridge for most models and allows you to set the max hot water temperature for the faucet. Here is a link to our How to adjust the rotational limit video that covers our T13/T14, T17, and T17T faucets. http://www.deltafaucet.com/tools-resources/research/video-gallery/video.html?v=n2_uZ7wgV1I&cat= Thanks, Dave

Hi Roger, Thank you for contacting us. On a new installation, you may need to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop to get hot water. Please see our How-To Video linked below or refer to your installation guide for help adjusting the stop. http://www.deltafaucet.com/tools-resources/research/video-gallery/video.html?v=n2_uZ7wgV1I&cat= Thanks, Jon

Hi Leigh, Thank you for your question! Any 13, 14, 17, or 17T series trim kit that we currently make will work with this rough-in valve. Trim-only kits will begin with the letter "T". http://www.deltafaucet.com/bath/tubshower/filter.html Best regards, Jon

Hi jreagan, Thank you for your question. MultiChoice valves such as the R10000-UNBX began shipping in September of 2006. If you have a 1400 series unit made prior to this date, any current 14 series trim kit will work with the existing rough-in valve with the original cartridge rather, or RP19804, than the cartridge that comes with the kit. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question. If you are getting reversed water flow from hot and cold, you will need to remove the cartridge assembly and rotate it 180 degrees before reinstalling it back into the valve. This will correct the reversed water flow you are having. Best regards, Edward

Thank you for your question! The plastergaurd can be removed if the valve is installed on a stringer. It is designed as a guide for measuring the hole and the depth of the valve. If you choose not to use the plastergaurd as a guide to cut the hole, please make sure that the hole is large enough to access the screw holes. Thanks, Jon

Hi Yxetower, Thank you for your question. To make your shower system function properly, we recommend using Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNBX rough-in valve. You will also need a supply elbow for your handheld shower. We recommend model # 50570. Thanks. Jody

Hi, Jeff! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWS Rough Valve Body will not have a reduced flow compared to the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough Valve Body. Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question, Laythe! The R10000 MultiChoice Universal valves do not control temperature as it is only a mixing valve. Your series may have a rotational limit stop that does come preset in the neutral or luke-warm position. This should be set at the time of installation and instructions on adjusting this setting can be found in your Maintenance and Installation guide. Please contact us directly if you need further assistance with this adjustment. Best regards, Edward

Dear Bunyan, Thank you for your question! At 60 PSI, a wall-mount tub faucet will run at 5.6 gallons per minute or more, depending on the trim and valve you choose. Here is the flow rate comparison information. R10000-HF(60PSI)(80PSI) 13/14 7.3gpm 8.6gpm 17 6.7gpm 7.8gpm 17T 9.4gpm 10.7gpm For large tubs, we recommend to use a deck-mount or floor-mount tub filler. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/bathing?type=Delta_Bathroom_Bathing_Tub+Fillers Best regards, Tanya

Hi, Dave! Thank you for your question. The valve cartridge assembly is determined by the series model number that is being used for the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough In Valve Body. Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question, Hagz! The R10000-UNBX rough in valve is compatible with all current Delta faucet shower trim kits as this accepts single, dual, or dual thermostatic cartridges allowing you to easily change your trim kit at any time. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets Best regards, Edward

Hi JC, Thank you for your question. The valve body is forged brass. Best regards, Jon

Hi NSL! Thanks for your question! The R10000-UNWS-3 is the same valve except the package contains 3 valves. So if you are wanting to purchase just one valve, you'll want to purchase the R10000-UNWS. Best Regards, Justin

Hi Bill, Thank you for your question. The cartridge actually comes with whatever trim you select. The 13/14 series features a single function pressure balanced cartridge, the 17 series has a dual function pressure balanced cartridge, and the 17T series has a thermostatic cartridge. All will offer scald guard protection. Thanks, Dave

Hi Dan, Thank you for your question! This valve has 1/2" NPT male threads with 1/2" female sweat supply fittings. Smooth 1/2" copper pipes can be soldered directly into the valve. Thanks, Jon

Hi, Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience. We are more than happy to help you. The R10000 valve water supply lines can be installed per the installer. Please contact us at 1-800-345-3358 if you have any further concerns. We are open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM central time, and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday. Best Regards, Bethany
