MultiChoice® Universal Tub / Shower Rough - Universal Inlets / Outlets

Hi Lance, Thank you for your question. The test cap will prevent water from exiting the valve. However, in order to leave the water supplies turned on you will also need a test plug (RP46079) as well, or install the cartridge, to prevent cross flow. Without the plug or cartridge installed, water from one side can force its way into the other side (hot/cold supplies). https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP46079 Best regards, Jon

Hello Sunshine, Thank you for your question! The cartridge or the handle will have a Rotational Limit Stop that can be adjusted to increase the maximum temperature. Here is a link to our How-To Video for help with this: https://www.deltafaucet.com/video-gallery/video-page?videoId=n2_uZ7wgV1I Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, John! There are a couple options to divert the water between the shower head and a hand shower. The first is an in-wall diverter, which will require plumbing work. For this, you will need the R11000 Rough-In Valve and a 3-Setting Diverter Trim Kit to match your shower valve trim such as the T11851. You will also need a supply elbow for the hand shower hose, such as the 50560. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R11000 https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T11851 https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=50560 The second option is to use a shower arm diverter, such as the U4923-PK or U4929-PK. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/U4923-PK https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/U4929-PK Best regards, Jon

Hi KevinO, Thank you for your question! This valve can be adapted for use with CPVC. Please note that if you will be installing a tub spout, the drop from the bottom port of the valve must be 1/2" copper or 1/2" galvanized pipe as the internal diameter of the pipe is important to prevent back-pressure. CPVC may be used for the supplies and/or shower. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, Mark! The "HF" or "High Flow" rough valves feature a blocked, pre-soldered tub port in order to provide the maximum flow rate to a shower head or diverter trim. Any MultiChoice Universal valve without the "HF" marking will work with a tub spout. The tub spout should produce approximately 4.8-9.8gpm depending on valve used and the PSI in your home. Below is a link to our current price books. The flow rate guide can be found on page 289 of the 2018 price book. Please contact us directly if you have any further questions. https://www.deltafaucet.com/for-professionals/product-resources/catalogs--brochures Best regards, Edward

Hi Swiftowl, Thank you for your question! You may use PEX tubing from the valve to the shower head or the supplies. To increase the available flow rate for customer shower applications, we recommend to use a High Flow (HF) valve, such as the R10000-UNBXHF, which will increase the flow rate by about 1 gallon per minute at 60 PSI. We do not recommend installing a standard valve upside down. Thanks, Jon

Hi, Rodney! Thank you for your question. We recommend any of our High Flow Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000 Rough In Valves for our Delta Faucet shower trim kits. Here is a link to our High Flow rough in valve bodies: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R10000-UNBXHF https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R10000-UNWSHF Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Ed! The difference between the R10000-UNBX and the R10000-IP is the type of pipe used in the installation. The R10000-UNBX can be used with copper, pvc, pex or iron pipe; whereas, the R10000-IP is made specifically for an installation with iron pipe.

Thank you for your question, Hans! The T14459-BLLHD trim kit includes a valve assembly cartridge that features a rotational limit stop. This limits the handle movement to inhibit the full hot position. Information on adjusting this stop further can be found on Page 6, Step 3 of the Maintenance and Installation manual below. https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/68881%20Rev%20M.pdf Best regards, Edward

Hi, alexki! Thank you for your question. The screw size for the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWSBXT Rough In Valve Body is #10-24 x1/4. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Kingro, With the R10000-UNWS, you can use just a pipe cap on the tub spout outlet if you are installing this faucet as a shower only installation.

Hello John, Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valve R10000-UNBX can be installed using cooper, iron or PEX pipes. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-B-R10000%20Rev%20J.pdf Best regards, Tanya

Hi Lou, Thank you for your question! R10000 Rough-In Valves are designed to work with 13/14, 17, or 17T Series Trim Kits, which will control the volume and temperature of the tub/shower. The R11000 Rough-In Valve is a diverter valve that works with a 3 or 6 Setting Diverter Trim kits and will transfer water flow between 2 or 3 showering components. The bottom port of the R11000 valve would be connected to the top port of the R10000 valve. Best regards, Jon

Hi, jmd46! Thank you for your question. The valve body to the tub spout assembly would need to have a distance between 8"-18" to prevent shower-rise. "Shower-rise"is when water can’t get out of the spout as fast as it flows through the valve. This causes the water to back up and come out the shower head when the user only wants the tub spout to flow. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Alan. Thank you for your question. The Delta Monitor T17238-H20 Trim Kit will need to be installed with a Multichoice Universal R10000 Rough In Valve Body. Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question! This valve does not have an integrated diverter. If you are installing a tub and shower set, the tub spout will need a diverter. Thanks, Jon

Thank you for your inquiry, Timmer! The Delta Push-Button Diverter Cap RP2865 can be purchased to cap off the diverter area of your original valve and a diverter tub spout can be installed instead. Best regards, Tanya

Hi Josh, Thank you for your question. We do offer extension kits that will help with your issue. The extension kit for the diverter trim is the RP75137. The extension kit for the T17T253 trim is the RP75136. Thanks, Dave

Hello Mary, Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, either Delta MultiChoice Universal Valves R10000-UNBX or R10000-LBX can be used with any of our dual control 17 Series and 17T shower or tub/shower faucets. Best regards, Tanya

Tanya you didn't answer the question! Should Sparky have purchased the shower only model instead? Do you lose the high pressure feature on the dual valve by capping off tub diverter?

Hi, Mandy! Thank you for your question. The R10000 MultiChoice Rough Valve Body takes multiple valve cartridge assemblies. The correct valve cartridge assembly depends on your Valve Trim kit. If you purchased a Monitor 13/14 Series trim kit, you will need RP46074. If you have a Monitor 17 Series trim kit, you will need the RP46463. If you have the TempAssure 17T series unit, you will need the RP47201. Here are the links to each cartridge: https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP46074 https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP46463 https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP47201 Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Steve A! Thank you for your question. We do have many trim kits that are ADA compliant. Here is a link to a few: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets?facetFeature=ADA Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Belle28! Thank you for your question. The Delta R11000 Diverter Rough would need to be installed the wall. If this cannot be done, we recommend to us a 3 Way Shower Arm Diverter to install the Monitor T14259-LHD, MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough In Valve, 55085 and 50560. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, James! Thank you for your question. The R10000-UNWS will work with any of our Delta trim that available now. The new trim kits will come with the cartridge needed to complete your faucet. Here is a link to our Delta shower trim kits that are available: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question, Mike. The flow rate will depend on the trim kit used, the pressure in the home, and other factors. At 60 PSI the maximum flow rate will be about 6.0 GPM with a Monitor pressure-balance unit and 8.5 GPM with a TempAssure thermostatic unit. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, ahbe! The rough-in will allow both hot and cold water into the valve. This should be tested with the provided test cap per the instructions. Without the cartridge that is included with a trim kit, however, you will not be able to adjust the temperature. Best regards, Edward

Hi, Screenreseat! Thank you for your question. The screen can be pushed right into the top hole of the valve body assembly. This is only needed unit right before you install your valve cartridge assembly into the valve body. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Corky! Thank you for your question. The hot and cold water lines can be reversed for the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000 rough in valve body. However, the hot and cold indicator on the handle trim kit will be opposite. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Coty! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough Valve Body works with any of our Delta Monitor and TempAssure Trim Kits. All of our trim kits include a valve cartridge assembly. Here is a link to our valve trim kits: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question, JimW! The R10000-UNBX valve body will work with any current Delta valve trim in the 13/14, 17 and 17T series. The pre-multi choice cartridges, manufactured for older 1300/1400 series and 1700 series will not fit into an R10000-UNBX valve body. Our current 13/14 series trims would be able to fit over a pre-multi choice valve in the same series, however the pre-multi choice cartridge would need to be used, rather than the multi choice cartridges included in the new trim kits. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us directly. Best Regards, Benjamin
