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

Hi, Scott H! Thank you for your question. The difference between the R10000-UNWS and the R10000-UNBX is that the R10000-UNWS includes "stops". These stops allow you to shut the water off at the faucet instead of shutting off the water to the whole house, if you need to do maintenance or repairs to the faucet. With a flat head screwdriver, you would adjust the stems clockwise to close and counterclockwise to open. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hello JLHardy, Thank you for your question. The Delta Foundations Tub and Shower B114915C model includes the necessary rough-in valve and cartridge assembly. It will not fit on a MultiChoice R10000-UN valve. MultiChoice valves work with 14, 17, or 17T series trim kits. Best regards, Tanya

Thank you for your question. Your Addison tub faucet contains a rotational limit stop. that may need adjusting to allow more hot water to flow through the valve. Included here are the instructions for adjusting the limit stop. The first one is if you have a 1700 series faucet with a temperature knob and volume control that are separate. The instructions are on page 9. http://www.deltafaucet.com/customersupport/documentation/t17292-ss.html?document=mi&documentIndex=0#flashWrapper The second set are for the 1400 series faucet with only a temperature contol. The directions are on page 8. http://www.deltafaucet.com/customersupport/documentation/t14292-cz.html?document=mi&documentIndex=0#flashWrapper

Hi John, Thank you for your question. The RP46074 cartridge that comes in the T13020-SS trim will work with a R10000-UNBX multichoice valve. Please verify that the 17 series cartridge adapter RP46073 that is part of the RP46463 cartridge is no longer in the valve body. http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/rp46073.html If your existing valve is older than February 2006 it is a pre-multichoice valve and the current 13 and 17 series cartridges do not work in the older rough in valve. Thanks, Dave

Hello David423, Thank you for your question. The trim T11959-BL is a six setting, 3-port diverter trim and must be installed with the diverting valve R11000. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R11000 Best regards, Edward

Hi, Jeph! Thank you for you question. The Delta Monitor T17459-SSLHD Shower Faucet does work with the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWS Rough Valve Body. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hello ThisGuy, Thank you for your question. Yes, the Delta MultiChoice Universal Valve R10000-UNBX or R10000-PX can be used with PEX tubing, you would want to make sure that you use proper fitting with each type and proper tooling with crimping PEX fitting and cold expansion PEX models. Best regards, Tanya

Hi, Randy! Thank you for your question. Here is a link to the Maintenance and Instruction Guide for the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000 Rough Valve Body: https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/X00050353_J.pdf The side view and measurements for installation will be on page 2. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Gregg! Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing low flow from your Delta shower. You may have some debris trapped in the valve body or cartridge assembly that is blocking the water flow. You may need to clean out the cartridge assembly and flush out the valve body. First turn off the water supply to the faucet. Remove the handle assembly, unscrew the bonnet ring and remove the cartridge assembly and all seals. Rinse and clean the cartridge out thoroughly. Turn both the hot and cold water back on for 10 to 15 seconds to flush out the valve body. After the allotted time, turn the water off and reinstall all of the components. Make sure that there is no debris on the cartridge assembly and seals. If this does not resolve your issue, then the cartridge assembly may need to be replaced. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Mike, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend rotating your shower valve assembly. The showerhead itself is restricted to 2.5 gallons per minute flowrate. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this has to be the measurement. It needs to be between 8" and 18" or you will probably have shower rise. Shower rise means the water will rise up and come out the showerhead when you are trying to use the tub spout only.

Hi, Robin! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough In Valve Body will need to be installed with a valve trim kit. Our Delta Monitor 17 Series and our Delta TempAssure 17T Series Trim Kits have both volume and temperature controls. Here is a link to our Trim Kits: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Richard, Thank you for your question! The valve has been redesigned, and the screw is no longer needed to secure the adapter. Thanks, Jon

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately there is not a trim that will fit your current valve body. You will need to replace the valve too. We recommend Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNBX multi-choice valve. Or if you want to keep the screwdriver stops like on your current valve, then we would recommend Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNWS. This would allow you to turn the water off at the valve for servicing instead of the whole house.

Hello Jessica, Thank you for your question. There is no difference between the R10000-UN and R10000-UNBX. The R10000-UN is sold in case quantities of 12 pieces only. The R10000-UNBX can be purchased individually. Best regards, Tanya

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNWS can be used with any 1300/1400 series or any 1700 series trims. Once it is in the wall, the trims can easily be switched to upgrade or change finishes without changing the valve.

Hello Ezela ! Thank you for your question regarding the Delta R10000-UNBX MultiChoice® Universal Tub / Shower Rough - Universal Inlets / Outlets! I am sorry this information was not readily available, and I am happy to help you! If you use pex and not 1/2 inch copper or galvanized you will end up with shower rise. Shower rise is when the water can’t get out of the tub 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. Even though pex is 1/2 inch, the diameter inside is smaller. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Thank you for being a loyal Delta Faucet customer. Best Regards, Antoine

Hi, ST21! Thank you for your question. For this set up, we recommend the R10000-UN, along with the R11000 diverter rough. Here is a link to the diverter rough: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R11000 Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Thriftyfisher, Thank you for your question! Any standard wood screw will work for mounting the valve to the stringer. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, jeffrey! We recommend installing the Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valve R10000-UNWS with the arrow and the "UP" facing the right direction for proper installation. Best regards, Tanya

Hello Mike C, Thank you for your question. As long as the screw holes on your large round escutcheon plate are at the 1 and 7 o'clock positions and you do not have a push button shower diverter directly below the off and on handle, then any of the Delta tub and shower trim kits that start with a T17, except for the T17T series trim kits will interchange for you. You can also install the R10000-UNBX with any 17 series trim kit of your choice. Best regards, Tanya

Hi Asmad, Thank you for your question. Step 4 is in regards to pressure testing the valve. The outlets that are referred to are the tub spout and showerhead stub outs. Once those are plugged and the test cap and bonnet are installed you can pressure test all of your connections. The test plug to plug the ports in the valve body itself when fully pushed in will fit under the test cap to check flow from the hot and cold ports in the valve. To test for leaks you do just turn on the water and let it run long enough to verify that there are no leaks in your system. We offer the RP20032 plug that can be sweated into the tub port on a R10000-UNBX or a brass 1/2" cap will work as well. Thanks, Dave

Dear Mott, 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. PEX piping can also be used with Delta Universal MultiChoice valve assembly R10000-UN model. Best regards, Tanya

Hi Brett, Thank you for your question! For your setup, you will need an elbow (50570) and R11000 Diverter Rough-In Valve along with a 3-Setting Diverter Trim such as the T11851-SS. This will provide individual and shared settings for the shower head and hand shower. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T11851-SS Best regards, Jon

This is a follow up question, for the portion that was not answered. Does the plasterguard stay in place in the final installation, or should it be removed? is it only a construction guide? Thank you.
