Delta R10000-UNBXHF Other Shower Faucet, High Flow, No Finish

easy to install, great product and great price.

Yes I know they have a version with built in Pex-A fittings but I love soldering so I bought the 1/2 threaded NPT and soldered 1/2 copper pipes on them onto Pex-A fittings. I did it this way so I have more control over the exact location of where I can mount the valve. The version with the built-in Pex fitting will still require you to use elbows and I'd rather have soldered joints than Pex elbows if we're being honest. This valve gives you tons of leeway when it comes to depth - you can install it way back or in front of the stud and the escutcheon will still cover it fine. I'm very impressed with the quality of this valve that I will be replacing the other valves in the house with Delta.

Excellent and easy to install. The only additional part I needed to purchase to install the bronze shower hardware. Can’t go wrong with Delta! Amazon got all the products on time for my remodel job! Great job!

So far I think our experience has been good. Most of our problems I believe were because we are not experienced plumbers and have gone all DIY on the shower build. The first sign of issue was when winter hit and the temp of the shower was not hot, but luke warm at best. We figured this to be the point of use we installed, so we cut in the hot water tank bypassing the point of use at least for the winter. Then we had flow issues. My husband took the cartridge out and would get it to make noise by shaking again, but after 10 minutes or so the shower slowly came to a dribble. I called Delta, they agreed the cartridge was probably a problem. Due to the holidays it took some extra time to get here, but all in all I think I called on Monday, they shipped it, and with Xmas being Thursday, I got it the day after. Either way showering in the other bathroom was short lived. Anyway husband immediately liked the new spring loaded temperature control to prevent scalding because it was easier to use. However still same issue. Turns out after he tore one of the old ones down to figure out how it works we had it in backwards the whole time. He says his confusion is that it seems like the way it's installed looks like it's upside down, as in he expected the H and C to be right side up but wasn't. That even seems odd to me, but either way now that it's in right all of our problems have been solved. The point of use is usable again and it's still winter. It's as hot as it needs to be, and I was able to shut the valve to the hot water tank off again. The flow is now as good as it gets for my house. I removed a star for being confusing to the DIY'ers (that may or may not read directions, I'm inclined to think FIL did and the husband didn't) and because didn't receive the nicer spring loaded scald prevention until they shipped us a new part.

This works perfectly! Having our shower, retiled, and our 40 yr old faucet would noour shower, retiled, and our 40 yr old faucet valve would not loosen without the help of a plumber. He replaced pipes and valve.

We remodeled the bathroom and I first had selected another top brand valve but our plumber recommended Delta so I switched. He spoke so highly of how Delta is made, no plastic, cheap parts. Top notch. He also said the valves install so much easier than others and how great Delta customer service is.

Easy to install and works as intended.

This is as described and works great n my new shower. My plumber had no issue installing.
