Wrong instruction sheet
Valve did not match the instruction sheet, so as a homeowner, and not a professional plumber, it took a little guess work and Google time.

Water-saving Valve makes pressure independent of temperature
I bought this valve because it enables you to set the pressure (flow) of the water independently from the temperature. I hate that all the options from the big box stores require you to turn the water all the way on in order to simply get hot water. I believe in only using what I need, and this valve (combined with the right hardware inside the shower) permits me to have hot water at a much lower flow rate. I'm just now getting again for the remodel of another bathroom.

Q&A
Hi, I bought this rough in valve to use with T14259-LHD, and then decided I wanted a handheld shower 55085. Are all of these compatible? Will I be able to use the shower head and handheld separately? If so, how?
Thank you for your question, Belle28! Model T14259-LHD is compatible and can be used with a hand shower if you use a shower arm diverter to switch between the two. Below is a link to some Delta Shower Arm Diverter options.

How do I find trim kits for this valve?
Thank you for your question. Delta model #R10000-UNWS is our Multichoice Universal rough. This will work with an array of tub/shower trims that have a single, dual, or dual thermostatic cartridge. Throughout our website, we recommend searching for tub/shower units that begin with T13*** or T14*** for the single; T17*** for the dual, or T17T*** for the thermostatic trim options. The cartridge will ship with the trim package selected.

I would like to mount the valve higher than 18" from the spout. Can this be done? if the pipe is upsized does that make a difference? thanks
Hi, Art.
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough In Valve Body and tub spout must be installed between 8"-18" to prevent Shower Rise. A bigger pipe will not make a difference. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

Can use this valve for Tub Only?
What must I do to use this valve for just a TUB...No Shower!
Hi Eric,
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNWS can be used with a tub only trim. You will need to plug the top port which is used for the showerhead.
Thanks.

Can I see a list of shower trim models that will fit on the R10000-UNWS valve?
Hi Ed, Thank you for your question. The R10000-UNWS is our multi-choice universal rough. All of the current Delta tub/shower trims will fit this rough in valve.

I want to replace my existing shower.
I am looking at the shower / trim T17278 and separate slide bar handshower 57014. I want to be able to switch between the showerhead and handshower at the on / off control. I want to be able to have one or the other or both on at the same time .... Am I looking at the right products? What valve do I need to make this work?
Thanks
you would want a R10000UNBX valve for the shower trim and also a R1000 transfer valve. one is a pressure balance valve and the other is a transfer valve. With a transfer valve you cannot have "shared" functions but you can have one or the other functions. best of luck.
Date published: 2024-03-28
Is this a temp balancing valve?
Will it prevent burns if someone flushes toilet?
Hi, DIY Gal!
Thank you for your question. The R10000-UNBX is the valve body that holds the valve cartridge in for your shower trim. All valve cartridges that can be used with this R10000-UNBX rough valve are pressure balanced or thermostatic so that you will not get scalded when using other plumbing in your home.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

Can you tell me if the following products are compatible with each other? My goal is to be able to switch between wall shower and hand shower using the T11759 diverter trim. Here is the model number: T17T459-H2O ,R10000-UNWS,T11759,R11000
Hi, Benjamin!
Thank you for your question. The Delta TempAssure T17T459-H2O Tub and Shower Faucet, MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNWS Rough Valve Body, Delta T11759 Diverter Trim, and the R11000 Diverter Valve Body all work together to complete a custom shower.

Do i need a in-wall diverter?
I have a Multichoice R10000 rough in kit and a multichoice T14059-rb monitor 1400 diverter trim valve.
I am hooking up a shower head and a handheld shower head on a bar w/ a supply elbow and need to divert one to the other.(there will not be a tub spout)
Im not sure if I bought the right thing. Do I need a in-wall diverter? I cant put a in-line by the shower head because the person is handi-capped and will not be able to reach high.
Thanks
Hi E&A Tile, Thank you for your question. You will want to plumb in a diveter. The R11000 diverter rough and the matching T11859-RB 3 setting diverter trim will allow you to use each showerhead individually or both at the same time.
Thanks,
Dave

Rough-in Valve R10000-UNWS
I have R10000-UNWS Rough-in valve, and I am going to plug the tub spout port(buttom threaded male port), as there is no plan to install tub spout, and this is for T17294-SS-I only. Could you instruct me what kind of pipe/tube cap to use for plugging this port - dimension/size, material type, spec.
Thanks very much for your help.
Ken
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNWS can have the tub port plugged if you are not using a tub spout. We do not supply the plugs. It is a 1/2" pipe and if you contact your local retailer or wholesaler, they should be able to supply you with the appropriate plug.

I ordered the R10000-UNBX for the shower, no tub.the tub is in another area. I RECEIVED R10000-UNBXT. IS THIS CORRECT TO USE?
Thank you for your question, Rose! I do apologize for any confusion about this rough in valve. Model R10000-UNBXT can be used as a shower only application. The tub spout nipple on the Delta R10000-UNBXT can be capped off with a 1/2" threaded brass cap.

How do I know which rough-in valve I need?
I'm remodeling our bathroom and going with the Delta windemere tub/shower trim kit with the RP46074 cartridge. It indicates that I need to go with the multi-choice R10000 rough-in valve, however there are several to choose from. How do I know which one I need?
Hi Liz, Thank you for your question. The R10000-UNBX is the most commonly used version of the rough. If you want to be able to shut the water off at the faucet when doing any repairs the R10000-UNWS will work for you as well.
Thanks,
Dave

Will this work with the older pre-2006 1300/1400 series
Dear Cj,
Thank you for your question! The older 13/1400 series cartridge assembly RP19804 will not work/fit in the new Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valve R10000-UNBX. The correct cartridge RP46074, will come in the box with the trim kit, your choose for it.

Is the use of compression nuts and sleeves an option for connecting this valve?

I want to use the Multchoice Valve for my new shower installation, but I want to be able to control the shower/tub diverter from a handle on the wall rather than at the tub spout. What combination valve/diverter would work best for this? Thank you!
Hi, Corry!
Thank you for your question. We recommend to pair the MultiChoice R10000-UNWS rough valve body with the R11000 diverter body. Here is a link to this diverter body:

How do you remove the Bonnet from the Rough-In Assembly
The Bonnet is tightly attached to Rough-In. What is the best way to remove it without damaging the Rough-in?
Hi Brian, Thank you for your question. If your bonnet nut is hard to remove we recommend soaking a towel in a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water and wrapping the towel around the bonnet nut. Allow the towel to soak overnight if possible. This should help break up the mineral build up allowing the nut to be removed.
Thanks,
Dave

What can you do if your plastic square is sticking outside of the finished wall?
We had the plumbers come out to install the R10000UNWS along with the R11000 diverter. The diverter is perfect; however it seems that when we put up the wall board it just sits on top of the plastic square. It looks as though once we do the thin set and tile it will be flush. Is there something else we can do?
Hi Blondie, Thank you for your question. For with stops models, which includes the R10000-UNWS the plasterguard must be flush or subflush 1/4" to finished wall. The finished wall would include the tile in your application.
Thanks,
Dave

I have a Delta kit that includes this valve, a shower head and a tub spout. I'm using it in a shower only and I'm not using the tub spout. Do i just cap the downward facing outlet?
Thank you for your question, Steve! The tub spout nipple on the Delta R10000-UNBX can be capped off with a 1/2" threaded brass cap. You can alternatively install the R10000-UNBXHF, high flow unit.

Directions say that R10000-UNBXHF has universal inlets with expansion pex support, but also says use correct fittings. Does it come with the fittings? Or do you mean find a coupler from the IPS threads to an expansion barb? Thanks.
Hello James,
Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valve R10000-UNBX does not come with fittings for added piping. This valve will accept 1/2" copper, 1/2" iron pipe. PEX, or CPVC adapters. Keep in mind that if you install a tub spout, you will need copper between the valve and tub drop. Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social if there is anything else you need.

Tanya

How far can you turn the valve stops counter clockwise to open? Will they reach a point and stop so I don't run the risk of turning too far?
Thank you for your question, Dave! They will stop turning when fully open. You can turn the stops clockwise up to three full turns from the open position without a noticeable reduction in flow.
Best regards,
Jon

Can I use the MultiChoice Universal Rough-In R10000 just as a shower valve without connecting it to a tub?. If yes, do I just cap the downward outlet with threatened brass 1/2" cap? Cheers. Dave D.
Hello, Dave! Thank you for your question. Yes, you may simply thread or solder a cap onto the bottom port of the valve for a shower-only installation.

Hi, our sub contractor installed this rough too far back into the wall for us to connect the DT14259BLLHD trim kit outside the wall tile. Is there an extension piece we can attach between the two so that we can install the trim kit properly?
Hi, Vernon!
Thank you for your question. We do have an extension kit for the Delta T14259-BLLHD trim. The extension kit is RP77991. Here is a link to this kit:

Can you adjust the valve so you can get more hot water
Dear Ban,
Thank you for your question. The Delta Universal MultiChoice R10000-UNBX valve assembly does not have a temperature controls adjustment on or in it. You would adjust the limit stop of the unit, for hotter or colder water.

Was R10000-UNBX valve body used with 1343 valve 11 years ago?
I am about to rebuild my 11 year old shower that was installed with a Delta 1343 valve at that time. I will be taking down the walls and retiling. I plan to replace the shower trim package. Was the R10000-UNBX body used then and, if so, should I replace it with a new valve body?
Hi Bitsmasher, Thank you for your question. The R10000-UNBX would not have been used in the model 1343 faucet from 11 years ago. The valve was introduced in February of 2006. You will be able to use the new T13/14 series trims with your existing valve body. The new trim ships with a new cartridge but you would have to continue to use the existing cartridge or replace it with a new RP19804.
Switching the valve body out to a new R10000-UNBX multichoice universal rough would allow you to install any of our faucet trims and allow you to switch out finishes, or upgrade the faucet in the future without changing the valve.
Thanks,
Dave

How does a box model (UNBX) differ from a standard UN model? I don't understand what "box" is signifying.
Hi, MLWH!
Thank you for your question. Both Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX and R10000-UN are the exact make and quality. The BX signifies as a standard box model.

I have solar heated water tank, so the tank temperature varies - cloudy days mean cooler water. Do I need Pressure Balance or Thermostatic cartridges to maintain the shower water temperature setpoint from day-to-day with a T17 trim kit?
Hi Rainforest,
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.
