3- and 6-Setting Diverter Rough

Thank you for your question, Tony! The Delta R11000 Diverter Rough-in will accept the RP71717 two setting, Non-Shared Diverter Cartridge which will diverter between both items without a shared function. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP71717 Best regards, Edward

Dear Milz, Thank you for your question. To install your two fixed shower heads, a handheld, a rain shower, and 2 sets of body sprays you would need two of the Delta MultiChoice Rough-In Valve R10000-UNHF and two of the Delta Delta 3 / 6-Setting Diverter Rough-In Valves R11000. Best regards, Tanya

Hi, Nicole! Thank you for your question. The Delta R11000 diverter valve does not come with stops as this does not flow of the water. This diverts water from one shower component to the other. Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question, kghome! The right port of the R11000 valve should be plugged when using a 3-setting diverter cartridge. If you are using a 6-setting cartridge and trim, the diverter handle will allow water to flow through the right port. Please refer to the maintenance and installation manual below for reference. https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/70551%20Rev%20F.pdf Best regards, Edward

Hi Gary, Thank you for your question. You will only need to cap the right side of the valve if you will be using a 3-setting trim kit. For your set up, you will need to use a 6-setting trim kit and will not have to cap the valve. Best Regards, Courtney

Hi ShowerBuild 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 from the diverter valve at 60 PSI is: With R10000-UNBX: 14 series - 5.8 GPM 17 series - 5.9 GPM 17T series - 7.3 GPM With R10000-UNBXHF (High-Flow): 14 series - 6.3 GPM 17 series - 6.6 GPM 17T series - 8.6 GPM At 80 PSI the flow rate is increased by approximately 1 GPM. These are the maximum total flow rates from the diverter valve in a shared position. The maximum flow from an individual diverter port is limited to 5 to 6 gallons per minute, depending on pressure and the trim series chosen. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, David! In order to use an R11000 diverting valve for a shower head and hand shower, you will need to cap the right port and use either a 3-setting RP51918 cartridge that has two individual settings and one shared setting or the RP71717 non-shared cartridge which offers two individual settings only. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP51918 https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP71717 Best regards, Edward

The instructions that COME with the diverter are clear, they are just wrong. They say 3 1/4" inches from stringer to finished wall which means you'd need to use a pretty thin stringer. That would also mean the inlet wouldn't align with the outlet of the R10000 valve below it if you were mounting the diverter above which is common. The instructions confused the heck out of me as well which is why I took to the internet. The instructions here online say 2 3/4" inch from stringer to finished wall. Aha! Makes much more sense. Hey Delta, you do cite the finished wall thickness has a pretty big degree of thicknesses it's compatible with, but being a half inch off on a mounting depth is pretty bad. Was that just a typo? I'm mounting the R10000 and R11000 both to 2x4 stringers in a standard depth 2x4 wall space with 1/2" Durock backer board and 1/4" thick tile with ~1/8 inch of thinset / roll on sealer in between them. My measurements put everything exactly where it needs to be...
