Hello GL, Thank you for your question! We no longer manufacture any product in the Antique Brass finish. Best regards, Brandis

Hi Brian, Thank you for your question. If your bonnet nut is hard to remove we recommend soaking a towel in a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water and wrapping the towel around the bonnet nut. Allow the towel to soak overnight if possible. This should help break up the mineral build up allowing the nut to be removed. Thanks, Dave

Hi Blondie, Thank you for your question. For with stops models, which includes the R10000-UNWS the plasterguard must be flush or subflush 1/4" to finished wall. The finished wall would include the tile in your application. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question, Steve! The tub spout nipple on the Delta R10000-UNBX can be capped off with a 1/2" threaded brass cap. You can alternatively install the R10000-UNBXHF, high flow unit. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP34849#specsTab Best regards, Edward

Hi, Lilyanuh! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice R10000-UNWS rough valve body is compatible with our Delta Monitor T14064 trim kit. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hello James, Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valve R10000-UNBX does not come with fittings for added piping. This valve will accept 1/2" copper, 1/2" iron pipe. PEX, or CPVC adapters. Keep in mind that if you install a tub spout, you will need copper between the valve and tub drop.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your question. There is no difference between the R10000-UN and the R10000-UNBX. The R10000-UN is sold in a case quantity of 12 pieces only. The R10000-UNBX can be purchased individually. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question, Dave! They will stop turning when fully open. You can turn the stops clockwise up to three full turns from the open position without a noticeable reduction in flow. Best regards, Jon

Hello, Dave! Thank you for your question. Yes, you may simply thread or solder a cap onto the bottom port of the valve for a shower-only installation. Best regards, Jon

Hi J, Thank you for question. The R10000-UNHF does not have a port to the tub spout at all, not just the R10000-UNBX capped off. The capped off R10000-UNBX would offer a higher flowrate than one using the tub spout, but not as high a flowrate as the R10000-UNBXHF. Thanks, Dave

Hi, Vernon! Thank you for your question. We do have an extension kit for the Delta T14259-BLLHD trim. The extension kit is RP77991. Here is a link to this kit: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/RP77991 Best Regards, Rosanna

Dear Ban, Thank you for your question. The Delta Universal MultiChoice R10000-UNBX valve assembly does not have a temperature controls adjustment on or in it. You would adjust the limit stop of the unit, for hotter or colder water. https://www.deltafaucet.com/cms/render/live/en/sites/delta/home/video-gallery/video-page.html?videoId=n2_uZ7wgV1I Best regards, Tanya

Hi Bitsmasher, Thank you for your question. The R10000-UNBX would not have been used in the model 1343 faucet from 11 years ago. The valve was introduced in February of 2006. You will be able to use the new T13/14 series trims with your existing valve body. The new trim ships with a new cartridge but you would have to continue to use the existing cartridge or replace it with a new RP19804. Switching the valve body out to a new R10000-UNBX multichoice universal rough would allow you to install any of our faucet trims and allow you to switch out finishes, or upgrade the faucet in the future without changing the valve. Thanks, Dave

Hi, MLWH! Thank you for your question. Both Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX and R10000-UN are the exact make and quality. The BX signifies as a standard box model. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi George Z, Thank you for your question. Most likely, you are experiencing "shower-rise" where the 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. There can be one of several reasons for this: The valve could be upside down The length from the valve to the tub spout is outside of the 8" to 18" rule There is more than one 90-degree angle Something other than copper or galvanized pipe was used going to the spout The most common reason is that there is something restricting the water flow to the spout, e.g. solder or something lodged in the pipe. Something is impeding the flow of water to the spout and causing it to back up and go out the shower head. If this is the cause of shower-rise it is possible to remove the blockage by removing the tub spout; then, feeding a plumber’s snake or a speedometer cable up through the tub drop. The act of feeding it causes it to twirl and loosen the blockage. Be sure to flush the valve before reinstalling the tub spout. Be sure to check the tub spout itself for blockage. If none of these help, you may need to call a plumber. After the shower has been installed and the wall has been closed, there is little that can be done to remedy this situation yourself. There would be no benefit to switching the valve body. Thanks, Dave

Hi Rainforest, Thank you for your question. All Delta tub and shower faucets are engineered to keep the water temperature within a safe ±3.6° F (±1.7° C)*. This technology makes sure your family doesn’t experience a sudden and possibly unsafe change in water temperature as a result of running water elsewhere. Please view the link below for more information. https://www.deltafaucet.com/design-innovation/innovations/shower/tempassure-valve--monitor-valve#anchor-reviews Best regards, Tanya

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

Dear M, Than you for your question. If you are getting reversed water flow from hot and cold, we would advised removing the cartridge assembly and rotating it 180 degrees and reinstalling it back in the valve. This would correct the reversed water flow you are having. Best regards, Tanya

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, rick! The model R10000-UN and R10000-UNBX are virtually the same model, however the R10000-UN is sold as a quantity of 12 whereas the R10000-UNBX is single box model. Best regards, Edward

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.
