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

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

Dear Anthony's Plumbing, Thank you for your inquiry! What you are experiencing is called shower-rise. Someone has made an installation error in your wall. Here are the four things to check. 1. The distance between the center of the valve body to the center of the tub spout must be between 8 and 18 inches. 2. You must use straight ½” copper or ½” iron piping for the piping down to the tub spout. No PVC piping, PEX piping, drop ear elbows or shark fittings are allowed for the piping going to the tub spout. 3. You can only use one 90 degree elbow with the piping going to the tub spout. There should be no shark or gator bite fitting for the elbow connection. 4. The main valve body must be installed right side up. https://www.deltafaucet.com/service-parts/faq#answer-c3ad508e-2cd4-4b5a-8af5-3f75cacd1f90 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

Hi, shahpour kazemi! Thank you for your question. To install the valve cartridge assembly into the MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX, first turn the water supply off for the unit. Remove the temperature knob and cover. Remove the volume handle. Unscrew the bonnet nut. Once this is all removed, the valve cartridge assembly can be pulled straight out. Remove the adapter assembly from the back of the valve body. Reinstall new parts. 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, AL! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough-In Valve Body and the Delta Universal MultiChoice R10000-LBX Rough-In Valve Body are the exact same. The Delta Universal MultiChoice R10000-LBX Rough-In Valve Body is exclusive to Lowe's Home Improvement store. Both rough -in bodies feature the same quality parts, materials, and workmanship, no matter what kind of dealer sells them. 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 SK, Thank you for your question. The single box is just that, you can purchase 1 R10000. The model R10000-UN can only be purchased 12 at a time. If you are installing a shower only we recommend using the R10000-UNBXHF which will give a higher flowrate for the multiple showerheads, this valve cannot be used in a tub installation. Trim choices in the Vero collection include T14253 and T14253-H2O in the 14 series. If you want temperature and volume control the 17 series offers the models T17253 and T17253-H2O. The H2O kinetic showerheads are the differences between the models. If you want to control the showerheads to work individually or together you will also need a R11000 rough in and a T11853 diverter trim. Finally for the handshower you can choose the wall mount 55530 or the slide bar version 57530, and the wall elbow 50570. Thanks, Dave

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

Thank you for your question, MRS B. The R10000-UNBX valve will provide various flow rates, depending on the trim kit used and the PSI available to the home. At 60 psi, a 13/14 series can produce up to 5.8gpm but at 80 psi this can go as high as 6.8 gpm. A 17 series can produce approximately 5.9 gpm to 6.8 gpm at these rates whereas the 17T trims can produce anywhere from 7.3 gpm to 8.5 gpm. Best regards, Edward

Hi robinja, Thank you for your question. To install copper pipe on the R10000-UNWS you would have to solder the pipe connections. If using galvanized pipe the valve has a 1/2" male pipe outlet, you would need to install a coupling first and then the length of pipe to the drop ear elbow. Thanks, Dave
