It works
this unit is an ON/OFF valve and HOT/COLD mixing valve, had it for 4 months in 3 apartments no problems at all. However, you must know Delta has a scalding water STOP on these and if you want really hot water you must adjust the STOP otherwise you will get warm water instead of HOT water. This goes well with R11000 Delta, I wanted to be able to use just the wall shower or just the rain shower(overhead) or both at same time. This valve allows that to happen.

Outstanding valve, but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit was installed in a newly remodeled shower. It does a wonderful job of retaining the desired temperature by having separate mixing and shutoff controls. My, and the installer's only complaint is the instructions that came with it were vague on the correct method for assembling the internals, resulting in a couple hours of trial and error assembly and disassembly to get the correct position for consistent hot water. Once the correct assembly was discovered, it has worked wonderfully.

GOOD QUALITY VALVE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this valve installed when our bath remodel was done. It replaced a dual handle diverter valve . We are very pleased with the quality and performance of the valve. It operates smoothly and is much easier to use than the old diverter valve. The Service Stops are handy as well. We highly recommend this valve. In fact we will be remodeling a second bath soon and plan to use the same model valve.

only lasted 16 months
I had the R10000-UNBXHF valve body (in conjuction with the T17038-SS Lahara 17 series valve trim) installed 16 months ago and the shower head is now dripping when the valve is turned fully in the off position. I cannot find a rebuild kit on this website for this particular valve body.
Does anyone know if a rebuild kit is available?

Needed Cold water with pressure
After researching for a valve that would go to my existing Delta shower set up and having a certified plumber also call several times this item was order on line for installation by a plumber. Though the installation took a while it was well worth it. Now we can control the temperature of the water and have as much pressure through the shower heads as we want. With 110 degrees everyday it's nice to take a cold or cool shower.

DELTA VALVES ARE THE WAY TO GO
This is the second one of these valves I put in and they are the best quality valve for the price. Having the stops made in to the valve is great. Thanks FaucetDirect for a good shopping experience and fast shipping.

Heavy duty.
This is a required building block for the TempAssure® 17T shower faucet. It is made from heavy duty brass and installs easily. All faucet items fit flawlessly.

Perfect Plumbing Piece
I am in the middle of renovating my bathroom and we are putting the shower in. So I ordered this shower Valve. The contractor commented that it was very easy to install, and well built. He usually uses the local box stores for supplies but after I gave him the web site he plans to order directly.

Check review for T17430-MTS. Will be used in conjunction with it. Even though we've had this product for a year, have not had a chance to install yet. Was looking for unit with separate water volume and temp control. Could not find at local stores, found on line. Started looking at units knowing we wanted to replace existing cruddy ones with parts missing at some time. When these were found, went ahead and made the purchase. So at this point can only say they look good and will serve the purpose.

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
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!

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?
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.

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?
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?
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
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.
Thanks,
Dave

Does the r10000 valve with stops includes the screw valves? Or do you have to buy the apart?
Thank you for your question, A.Luna! The screw driver stops are included with the valve.

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
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
