Can I cap off the top port and feed a handheld shower elbow with the bottom port? There will be no spout, hand held shower mounted on slide rail only and would like the hose to be connected centered under the valve.
Asked by: Jason
Hi, Jason.
Thank you for your question! The top port can be capped and the bottom port can be used for a hand shower unit on the Delta MultiChoice Universal R10000-UNBX Rough In Valve Body.

what is the function of this valve
Asked by: Scott
Hello Scott,
Thank you for your question. The Delta MultiChoice Universal Rough-In R10000-UNBX is the valve body that your hot and cold water supplies connect to and it holds the valve cartridge, which controls your shower or tub and shower trim on/off and temperature. Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social, if there is anything else you need.
Best regards,

When converting tub/shower to shower only, if we purchased R10000-UNBX valve body, can that be used for shower only?
Looks like the #2 outlet should be capped for shower only use...
Is that correct? What is recommended?
Asked by: Stev
Dear Stev,
Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta MultiChoice Universal Valve R10000-UNBX can be use for a shower only installation. You would need to cap off the bottom port of the valve.

How does one direct the hot vs cold water flow when installing?
We have no instructions and don't know how to install to allow the different waters to go to their respective channels within the valve.
Asked by: Carlos
Hi Carlos,
Thank you for your question! The water flow and temperature is controlled by the cartridge, which will be included with the trim kit that you choose.
Here is a link to the installation instructions for the valve:

Can I use CPVC to connect the R10000, or does it have to be copper
Asked by: Frank
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R10000-UNBX can be used with CPVC as long as the piping between your tub spout and the valve is copper. The CPVC can be used everywhere else.

Our hot and cold lines have shut off valves already. Do we need to install the stops in this case?
Asked by: Daniel
Thank you for your question, Daniel! The stops must be inserted in the R10000-UNWS valve body. You could alternatively use the R10000-UNBX valve that does not include screwdriver stops.

Hi, I've purchased an R10000-UNBX valve body, an R11000 3/6 diverter rough in, overhead rain head, and set of 3 body sprays. What valve(s) do I purchase to add separate volume controls to the rain can and to the body sprays?
Asked by: Craftydad
Thank you for your question, Craftydad! The R11000 diverting valve can be used with a 6-setting cartridge to allow you to switch between three individual products or ports with independent as well as shared positions. If two of the body sprays are used on the same port, then you will not need another valve. The diverter rough will switch between these sprays, the shower head, as well as the third spray both by themselves as well as in shared functions. This will also work if you are wanting all of the sprays on one setting. You will only need a 3-setting diverter cartridge for that type of installation in which you can use the shower head and sprays alone or at the same time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions or need further assistance with this model.

Use of pex between R10000 and R11000
I'm using your R10000 valve and R11000 diverter, for a fixed and hand-held shower installation (no tub.)
Based on research I've already conducted I'm planning on installing the R10000 upside down (ie, using the tub spout outlet) and plugging the shower outlet instead, to maximize pressure to the diverter.
The R10000 installation instructions stipulate one restriction only; that is, that copper MUST be used for the tub spout drop.
My question, therefore, is this: can I use pex between the tub spout outlet and the diverter input?
Thank you.
Asked by: gazzerp
Hi gazzerp, Thank you for your question. In your shower only application you can use pex tubing on the connection from the upside down tub port to the R110000 diverter rough.

What is considered the "finished wall" for installing a Delta R10000 Multi Choice value in an acrylic walk in shower unit??
For installing with a MAXX shower unit, the plasterguard should be flushed with the acrylic wall section (that is, the same as if you were installing with a tiled wall)?

Hi Jerry67,
Thank you for your question. That is correct! The finished wall will be the final surface after everything is installed. The acrylic wall section would be considered the finished wall in your installation.

When was the R10000-UNBX introduced?
We're having our shower redone. We're also upgrading an old 14 series (Windemere I believe) to a newer Lahara. We have the wall open and the rough-in valve "looks" like it is the right one. My current one is circa 2000. Do you think the new Lahara will work with a rough-in valve this old? If we want to swap it out, now is the time to do it before the durock and tile go back on the wall.
Asked by: jreagan
Hi jreagan,
Thank you for your question. MultiChoice valves such as the R10000-UNBX began shipping in September of 2006. If you have a 1400 series unit made prior to this date, any current 14 series trim kit will work with the existing rough-in valve with the original cartridge rather, or RP19804, than the cartridge that comes with the kit.

valve was installed by a licensed plumber, but when you turn on the water goes from hot to cold vs. cold to hot. what is causing this - purchased new
This delta mixing valve replaced a Moen mixing valve. They both turn counter clock wise from cold to hot. Is this problem caused by a faulty cartridge?
Asked by: Richard
Thank you for your question.
If you are getting reversed water flow from hot and cold, you will need to remove the cartridge assembly and rotate it 180 degrees before reinstalling it back into the valve. This will correct the reversed water flow you are having.

Is the plaster guard removable -?
If the plasterguard were removed it would appear that the opening in the finished wall could be a much smaller hole - easier to drill with a hole saw in the existing tiled wall.
But is the plaster guard necessary to mount the escutcheon to or is it just to guide the install depth ?
Asked by: idler
Thank you for your question! The plastergaurd can be removed if the valve is installed on a stringer. It is designed as a guide for measuring the hole and the depth of the valve. If you choose not to use the plastergaurd as a guide to cut the hole, please make sure that the hole is large enough to access the screw holes.

Is there a way to adjust the temperature inside of the valve? When I move the lever all the way to hot it is still only warm. My hot water works perfectly everywhere else but just not this valve.
Asked by: Laythe
Thank you for your question, Laythe! The R10000 MultiChoice Universal valves do not control temperature as it is only a mixing valve. Your series may have a rotational limit stop that does come preset in the neutral or luke-warm position. This should be set at the time of installation and instructions on adjusting this setting can be found in your Maintenance and Installation guide. Please contact us directly if you need further assistance with this adjustment.

What is the flow rate of the R-10000UNWSHF ? I want to use it as a tub filler only.
What trims can I use with this valve to get the most flow?
Asked by: Bunyan
Dear Bunyan,
Thank you for your question! At 60 PSI, a wall-mount tub faucet will run at 5.6 gallons per minute or more, depending on the trim and valve you choose. Here is the flow rate comparison information.
R10000-HF(60PSI)(80PSI)
13/14 7.3gpm 8.6gpm
17 6.7gpm 7.8gpm
17T 9.4gpm 10.7gpm
For large tubs, we recommend to use a deck-mount or floor-mount tub filler.
