FAUCET Other MultiChoice Universal Integrated Shower Diverter Rough Universal Inlets/Outlets, Champagne Bronze

I learned so much from reading the reviews, so I’d like to add my experience from the recent bathroom remodel. From what I have learned is anything behind the wall is important b/c failing of the part will cost you lots of money, time, and headache. Therefore, the valve is very important! There’re many whole sets here that include the Diverter Rough, shower head, arm, handheld, etc for less $300 but there’re comments about leaking of the valve and diverter so I decided to build my own set! I chose MultiChoice® Universal Integrated Shower Diverter Rough Universal Inlets / Outlets - MODEL#: R22000 I found it operating smoothly. Only time will tell whether it will leak or not but I like its chance over the cheaper set! There’re different trims can go with this Diverter Rough but I chose Trinsic 17 Series Pressure Balanced Valve Trim with Integrated Volume Control and 6 Function Diverter for Three Shower Applications Model:T27959-BL Although I only have two shower applications the handheld shower is on the right of the valve and I like to have the dial point at the handheld shower. In my opinion, the shower arm, the showerhead, the handheld shower can be any brands b/c they are on the exterior and can be easily replaced. If they will leak in every two years the cost of replacement is still less than what local restore quoted me for For the Showerhead, I chose the KES Rain Shower Head 8-Inch with Swivel Ball Joint Rainfall High Flow Shower System Contemporary Style SUS304 Stainless Steel Black, J203S8-BK. It works great! Water flows softly not splashing For the handheld shower, I chose the KES Slide Bar with Handheld Shower Head Hand Shower Hose Holder Adjustable 5-Function Massaging Sprayer Matte Black, F204DG-BK+KP501B-BK. It has a different adjustment on hight and rotation, the handheld shower is high quality but the spiral hose is plastic but it doesn’t bother me it makes sense to me b/c I do not think it like some heavy hit the tile For the shower arm, I originally order the straight arm but the plumber installed standard high but I’d like to accommodate tall person so I go with the s -shape, I chose HANEBATH Brass S Shape Shower Arm and Flange, Matte Black, also Chrome or Brushed Nickel or Oil Rubbed Bronze for Choose and it works just fine! For the connector from the wall to handheld you need shower elbow, I chose 1/2. NPT Round Wall Union in Matte Black b/c the design The total I spent is about $560 compared to about $2000s, although I could have chosen the cheaper whole set (around $300) the choices I made is minimizing the risk of leaking behind the wall. I hope this will help those who are researching :) good luck to you all!!

So far so good

There are different versions of this in the area of the connectors. This us the one preferred by contractors (connection can screw onto the unit). Professional installation not required but I recommend it. Item also allows you restrict how much hot water can be dispensed.

I have had another one of these for 8 years in another bathroom, and it works flawlessly. These ae very well made and with high lime water I have not had any problems. My wife can turn on the washer, hose in the back yard or anything and the temperature in the shower never changes. No more cold or hot changes form toilet flushes! The cost is really high, but you get what you pay for, and it has a life time warranty.

All good

Save a little room on your shower wall!

Installed without issues. Solid brass and clearly marked "up" and hot/cold sides. If you're using a plumber, make sure to tell him/her of the combination valve body. My plumber was confused on the unit and it's application until I explained it. Other than that, standard installation. Unit uses 1/2" connections. Can do 3 or 6 function diverter. Comes with a cap to plug the right side if you are using a 3 function diverter. Important to note that with the 6 function diverter, you can only run 2 outlets at the same time. You can have three items connected, but only two can run at once. One thing to note is the flow difference between this valve body and the equivalent with stops. This valve body has a higher flow rate. It may or may not be important to you depending on the application. The difference is .2 GPM all the way up to .9 GPM. Check the Delta technical documentation. There's a chart that splits it out by pressure and cartridge choice. This is only the brass valve body that connects to the plumbing. You will need to buy a separate "trim" kit that includes the cartridge and the parts that you "see."

These are a little pricey IMO for just a rough in assembly but they seem to work fine. When you add the trim kit make sure you tighten the 2 bonnet nuts as tight as you can by hand. I thought I did a good job on the first one but When I turned on the water the diverter was acting weird and I got a terrible groaning sound from the pipes when I turned it on. Had to take it all apart and found I didn’t do the greatest job tightening the bonnet nuts. You need to do it by hand and there is not much room to work so it’s easy to want to not go crazy. Take the extra time and hand tighten as much as possible turning initial assembly

Good quality part. Used this on many jobs with no issues. You’ve got to have a good quality rough-in to trust your work. Love that the controls and diverted are on one unit. Very clean look.

Do the job. Fine

Solidly built, included plug for testing or unused connection. Shipped quickly by amazon. An industry standard, so easy to get parts from local plumb shops.

Works well in my new Shower, has a handheld and rain shower heads. Can work independent or together.

The Delta Faucet R22000 Multichoice Universal Diverter Valve work great. I was hesitant of purchasing as i read some reviews of reduced water pressure but that is not the case with this unit. I had a concern as may water pressure in the house is low to begin. UPDATE: I have used this unit now for a year and still feels brand new.
