The foundation of any Delta shower installation -- the R10000-UNWS MultiChoice Universal Rough-In Valve with Service Stops is the professional-grade rough-in valve behind Delta's most popular shower trim lines. Forged from solid brass stock and made in the USA, this pressure-balance and thermostatic-compatible valve accepts 13/14, 17, and 17T series cartridges -- giving property managers, contractors, and facility teams the flexibility to choose or upgrade shower trim without ever touching the rough-in. Service stops allow water to be shut off at the valve for cartridge service and replacement without cutting off supply to the entire building -- a critical advantage in multi-unit residential and commercial plumbing applications.
Key Features:
- MultiChoice Universal Cartridge Compatibility: Accepts single or dual pressure-balance and dual thermostatic cartridges -- compatible with Delta's 13/14, 17, and 17T series trim lines. Install the rough-in once and choose or upgrade the trim style at any time, protecting the plumbing investment across renovations and tenant turnovers.
- Service Stops Included: Built-in service stops allow the water supply to be shut off directly at the valve body for cartridge maintenance, replacement, or inspection -- without interrupting water service to the rest of the building. An essential feature for multi-unit residential and commercial plumbing operations.
- All-Brass Construction -- Made in the USA: Forged from solid brass stock at Delta's manufacturing facilities in Greensburg, Indiana and Jackson, Tennessee -- delivering the durability and corrosion resistance required for long-term in-wall plumbing installations.
- Sturdy Mounting Bracket & Square Plaster Guard Included: Included mounting bracket prevents valve rocking and allows securing to stringers for a stable, code-compliant installation. Square plaster guard sized for standard tile allows clean right-angle cuts and snaps in and out for easy access during finishing.
Where to Use:
- Multi-Unit Residential Buildings: Service stops and MultiChoice trim flexibility make this the standard rough-in valve for apartment, condo, and co-op shower installations -- minimizing service disruption during cartridge maintenance across occupied buildings.
- Hotels & Hospitality: Reliable brass construction and service stop functionality suit high-frequency guest shower applications in hotel and hospitality properties where minimizing downtime during plumbing service is a priority.
- New Construction & Renovation Projects: Universal trim compatibility protects the rough-in investment across future renovations -- contractors can install this valve once and accommodate any trim upgrade the owner selects down the line.
- Healthcare & Institutional Facilities: Scald guard capability and solid brass construction meet the durability and safety requirements of shower installations in assisted living, healthcare, and institutional environments.
