Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality Rough In Valve I highly recommend purchasing this valve. You can rough this in and determine your tub, shower head, etc at a later date. This model is the lowest cost. If you don't have shutoffs elsewhere, I would recommend getting the mixing valve with shutoffs over this one.This valve will work in walls bult out with 2x3.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No longer spec'ing Delta Trims at work. This valve turned out to be a nightmare!! Delta keeps telling people these are "Universal" when in fact they do not work at all with 2020 Delta Trims. House was finished and valve would not shut down causing 24" hole in finished sheetrock to R&R with another valve.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Delta shower valve After soldering in the valve it was determined that the cartridge was defective. Delta sent a couple of springs and small rubber washers that contractor will have to use to replace inside of cartridge. Not sure if that will work as he hasn’t been able to do that yet

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delta mixing valve Easy to install leaving plastic mounting face on until tile was installed. The valve has smooth operation. If anything goes wrong in the future an easy cartridge replacement is all it needs. The anti-scald feature was very easy to set.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Must be a bad mixing valve Has this mixing valve for a year and it must not work correctly. The water is cold. Adjusted it on faucet doesn’t help. Must be a bad mixing valve because put our other in and works fine
Date published: 2020-06-23
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Works ok- Very poor instruction. Cheap material This was cheaply made. The main unit that attaches to the wall was flimsy metal where the two long bolts attach the cover. This allowed the screw to move angles when installing the cover and then stripping one of them. We were very careful and still had issues. We currently have the cover in place with just one screw. The adjustment for the flow is non existent. Hot/cold adjustment worked well. I would recommend a different diverted.

Q&A

Are there plugs available for the ports the service stops go in, I might not have the clearance for the stop stems for the cover plate to mount flush

Asked by: Rob H
Hello, Thank you for your question! Unfortunately we do not offer plugs for this. You may need to install a standard R10000-UN rough-in valve in its place. Please reach out with further questions! Best Regards, Tim Digital Communications Specialist

Can I buy extra parts to upgrade the R10000-UNWS & T17253 to equal the T17T453?

I need to add a bathtub faucet and thermostatic cartridge. If I buy the RP53419SS faucet and the RP47201 thermostatic cartridge, will they work with the R10000-UNWS MultiChoice Rough and T17253 shower trim kit?
Asked by: jumperboy
Hi Jumperboy, Thank you for your question. While the tub spout would work, the thermostatic cartridge RP47201 would not work with the handles for the T17253. You would also need the RP62960 volume handle, RP62959 temperature knob, and RP50879 sleeve. http://www.deltafaucet.com/search/results.html?q=RP62960%2C+RP62959%2C+RP50879+ Thanks, Jon

I just installed a R10000unws tub/shower valve and have water coming out of the shower head and tub spout all the time?

Even though I have not pulled the shower knob up on the tub spout to activate the shower head, water is coming out of both the tub spout and shower head? Is there a direction (top or bottom) that you have to install the rough-in valve? Can you connect the tub spout or shower head up to either port?
Asked by: Joe
Hi Joe, We are sorry that you are experiencing a problem with your faucet. 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.

Stops touch escutcheon

The valve stops stick out, blocking the escutcheon from screwing tight to the shower surround. Is there a shallow escutcheon plate or spacer that will fix this?
Asked by: Sky
Hi Sky, Thank you for your question! Please make sure that the plaster guard is flush (or up to 3/8" sub flush) with the finished wall. If the valve is out too far, you may turn the stops 3 turns in from the full open position without a noticeable reduction of flow. This will provide an additional 1/8” of clearance for the escutcheon. Best regards, Jon

my brother has a new shower and the handle on the valve trim will only turn a quarter of the way. He gets very little hot water

Could he need the temperature limit stop adjusted. Or could something else cause this
Asked by: lku1
Hi Iku1, Thank you for your question. The motion of the handle will run from 3 o-clock (off) to 12 o-clock (full on). The faucet is equipped with a rotational limit stop where you set how hot the water can get. I have attached a link to a video to show you how to make this adjustment.

I would like to know if this product will fit any Delta shower trim kit, or even a trim kit from another manufacturer like Kohler or Moen in case I want to change the trim in the future. Also, will this product work with a combination showerhead/handheld

Asked by: Lindaj
Hi, Linda! Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWS rough valve body works with any of our Delta 13/14, 17, and 17T series trim kits. We cannot guarantee that they will fit with other brand trim kits. The valve body does work with both shower head and tub spout installations. Best Regards, Rosanna
