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

Thank you for your question. There is not really a chart telling the differences between the rough-in kits but I will certainly pass along that suggestion to our marketing department. Thanks for the suggestion. As to the differences in Delta Faucet model # R10000-UN and R10000-UNBX, there is not a difference in the model itself. The difference comes in the packaging. The R10000-UN has to be ordered in cases of 12 and they are packed together. The R10000-UNBX is one individual box.

Hello Witt, 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, Thank you for your question on the Delta product. The tub spout nipple on the Delta R10000-UNBX can be capped off with a 1/2" threaded brass cap. Best regards, Brandis

Thank you for your question, Rtamac3! The Rough-In Valve does not regulate temperature and can only mix the hot and cold water coming into the valve. We recommend flushing the valve body as well as checking the rotational limit stop on your cartridge. Information on setting this component can be found in the Maintenance and Installation manual that was provided. Please contact us directly if you have questions or need further assistance. Best regards, Edward

Hi, Ducky! Thank you for your question. There is no difference between the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWS-3 rough-in valve body with stops and the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWS rough-in valve body with stops. The "-3" in the model number indicates the unit is exclusive to The Home Depot. The make and quality is the exact same. Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your inquiry, Luap59! The Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In R10000-UNBX valve is not designed with a way to adjust the temperature. The trim kit that is selected to be installed with this rough-in valve will include the valve cartridge assembly, that has a rotational limit stop that can be adjusted for hotter or colder water from the unit. Best regards, Tanya

Hi, Salvatore. Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, installing the tub spout less than 8" and more than 18" from the valve body may cause shower rise. Shower rise is when water intended to fill at the tub spout starts coming out of the shower head even when the diverter is not lifted at the spout. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hello Joey! Thank you for your question Regarding Delta Faucet Showers! I am happy to help. Some Delta showers can be updated without replacing the valve. This depends on a few factors such as when it was installed as well as the series of the shower. Please reach out to us by calling 1-800-345-3358 directly for further assistance with this matter. Best Regards, Antoine

Hello Andy, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWS-3 Rough In Valve Body and tub spout must be installed between 8"-18" to prevent Shower Rise. Best regards, Tanya

Hi Ken, Thank you for your question. At 60 psi the 17 series cartridge will give you approximately 6.04 gpm on the R10000-UNBX and 6.66 gpm on the R10000-UNBXHF out of the shower port. The diverter will lessen the waterflow to the showerheads but you should have enough water to run 2 showerheads at the same time. Thanks, Dave

Hi Ed, Thank you for your question. The plug should fit into the port until it bottoms out. This will leave approximately 1/8" of the plug exposed. The plug should slide in without the use of a hammer especially when the flux is added prior to sweating. Thanks, Dave

Hi, Darth! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough Valve Body will not fit the Delta RP54870 Renovation Kit. This kit fits our 600 series Valve Body. Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, Nomad! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UN and the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX are the exact same rough valve bodies. The Universal R10000-UNBX is a Single Box Model. Best Regards, Rosanna

Dear Mark, Thank you for your question. 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. 4. The main valve body must be installed right side up. Best regards, Tanya

Hi TK, Thank you for your question. You will need your shower trim T17278, and shower rough, we recommend the R10000-UNBXHF for your set up. The diverter will require the diverter trim T11800 and diverter rough R11000. This will allow you to use each showerhead individually or at the same time. The last piece you need in addition to the 51708 slide bar hand shower is the 50560 wall elbow for the hand shower. Thanks, Dave

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

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

Thank you for your question, MIKE J! The R10000-UNWS and R10000-UNWS-3 are the same valve body. The only difference is that the R10000-UNWS-3 comes included with 3 R10000-UNWS valve bodies. Best Regards, Benjamin

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

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.
