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

Thank you for your question. We do offer many different kinds of R10000 rough in valves and it depends on what kind of piping you are using as to which one you use. Here is a list of what all the letters mean after the R10000 number. UN-universal valve can be used with copper, iron pipe, pex or cpvc piping BX-is an individual box instead of a case of 12 rough-in WS-screwdriver stops means you can turn the water off at the valve instead of shutting off the water in the whole house. HF-high flow valve can only be used with a shower only faucet. T-thin wall mounting kit included. IP-can only be installed with a iron pipe. PX-can only be installed with pex piping MF-used for pex cold expansion connections

Dear Mick, Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta MultiChoice Universal Valve R10000-UNBX is designed for hot and cold water side port connections only. You would need the Delta 3/6 Setting Diverter R11000 valve to install/add a hand shower to your shower unit. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/R11000 Best regards, Tanya

Thank you for your question, Jamie! A Delta Multichoice Universal valve such as the R10000-UNBX is dependent on the trim being used to determine the flow rate. For example, a 13/14 series trim used with this valve should provide approximately 4.9gpm at 40PSI whereas a 17 series would produce 5.0gpm at 40PSI. A T17T thermostatic trim kit will provide the highest rate at 7.0gpm at 40Psi or up to 9.8gpm at 80PSI. If the installation will not include a tub spout, a high flow valve such as R10000-UNBXHF will increase this rate further. Please contact us directly if you have questions or need further assistance. Best regards, Edward

Thank you for your question, Kathy. This will depend on the trim kit that you purchased. Please refer to the Installation Instructions for help adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop, which will allow you to set the maximum temperature. Best regards, Jon

Hello Arty, Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In R10000-UNBX valve can be used for a shower only install. Best regards, Tanya

Thank you for your question. The Delta Faucet multi-choice valve is available in a thin wall mounting kit. It is model # R10000-UNBXT or with screwdriver stops, R10000-UNWSBXT.

Hello Josh@Lowes! Thank you for your question. Both valves are functionally the same and can be used interchangeably, only the packaging is different as the R10000-LBX is produced specifically for Lowe's Home Improvement stores. Best regards, Edward

Hi Bob, Thank you for your question! The supply stop with stop turning when it is fully opened, and should remain water-tight. From the fully open position, the stops can be tightened 3 turns without a noticeable reduction of flow. Best regards, Jon

Hi, Floyd! Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your Delta faucet. The valve body, R10000-UNBX, does not have a limit stop for temperature control. The only limit stop is on the valve cartridge assembly. To adjust the rotational limit stop on your valve cartridge assembly, here is a how-to video on how to adjust this: https://www.deltafaucet.com/video-gallery/video-page-1?videoId=n2_uZ7wgV1I Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Nick, Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta MultiChoice Universal Valve R10000-UNBX is designed for any of the Delta tub and shower or shower only faucets. This valve is not compatible with other company parts or faucets. Best regards, Tanya

Thank you for your question. When using the R10000-UNBX the length between the valve and the tub spout has to be between 8"-18". If it is more than 18", you will have a situation called shower rise where water comes out of the showerhead when you only have the tub spout running.

Thank you for your question, Stuart! Although unlikely to reach 12 gpm, an R10000-UNBX valve along with a Thermostatic 17T trim will provide the highest flow rate possible. This will rely heavily on the PSI to the home or valve however, as this combination can produce 7.0gpm at 40psi or up to 9.8gpm at 80psi. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/tub-and-shower-faucets?ValveType=Dual-function+thermostatic+cartridge Best regards, Edward

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # T17494-I will need a rough-in to make it a complete faucet. We recommend our multi-choice valve which is model R10000-UNBX.

Dear Danny09, Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, the Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In valve R10000-UNBX can be used as a shower only, by capping off the bottom port. Best regards, Tanya

Dear Idler, Thank you for you question. The Delta Tub/Shower faucets require a minimum of 8-16" drop for the tub spout installation, so not to cause a shower rise install issue. This is when 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. Anything less the 8" or more than 16" will cause Shower Rise. https://www.deltafaucet.com/service-parts/faq/faq-tablist-area/tabularlist/bath/faq-item-21#answer-c3ad508e-2cd4-4b5a-8af5-3f75cacd1f90 Best regards, Tanya

Hi, katemels! Thank you for your question. The R60000 Brizo rough valve and the R10000 Delta rough valve are interchangeable, so you do not have to replace the valve. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Daniel3342. Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing low flow from your Delta shower unit. We do recommend to flush or back flush to make sure no debris is stuck that maybe causing the low flow to your shower and tub unit. To flush, 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. To back flush, 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. Remove the tub spout assembly. Take a garden hose or air compressor and shoot water or air from the tube where the tub spout was installed up into the open valve body. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi Amy, Thank you for your question. The plasterguard on the R10000-UNWS must be mounted flush or subflush 1/4" to the finished wall. Unfortunately the only fix is to re-rough the valve to the proper distance. If you have a 13/14 series faucet removing the plasterguard itself and ordering the 3/4" longer RP22735 trim sleeve might work. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question, dadiyguy! Yes, the 17 series cartridge and trim can replace a 13/14 Multichoice series cartridge and trim, if you have the Delta Multichoice Universal Rough-In R10000-UNBX valve. Best regards, Tanya

Hi Chris, The R10000-UNBX and the R10000-UNWS are completely interchangeable. The only difference between the two is that the R10000-UNWS has screwdriver stops which allow the user to be able to turn the water off to the valve for maintenance without having to turn the water off to the entire home.

Hi, DNapes! Thank you for your question. We do not recommend using PEX supply line from the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough Valve Body and the tub spout assembly to prevent shower rise. Shower rise is when water travels to the shower head when the tub spout is in use without the diverter operated because PEX line inner diameter is smaller. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi AKDolFan, Thank you for your question! We do not have a rough-in valve specifically designed for a tub-only-application. However, any R10000 valve except for the HF (High Flow) versions will work as a tub-only installation. You will simply need to cap the top port of the valve. http://www.deltafaucet.com/search/results.html?q=R10000 Best regards, Jon

Hello JimC, Thank you for your question. Yes, the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-LBX 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, Bill! Thank you for your question. The flow rate will be primarily determined by the main valve and trim that you use (R10000 + 13/14, 17, or 17T trim). The approximate maximum flow rate: With R10000-UNBX: 14 series - 5.8 GPM 17 series - 5.9 GPM 17T series - 7.3 GPM Best Regards, Rosanna

Hello Michael, Thanks for your question! The R10000-UNBX will work in a tub only installation. However, you will need to cap the bottom port since you are not using a tub spout. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question, JCCrider! The designation "HF" means this valve is a "High Flow" rough that provides a stronger flow rate but also does not include a tub spout port. This flow rate will be higher than a standard rough with a plugged tub spout port. Best regards, Edward
