I am doing a double-shower head shower with NO tub. Do I use this valve since there is no tub? UNWS is for the shower / tub.

I bought this valve for a single head shower (no tub). There are two input (hot/cold) and one outlet (shower head). There is a fourth outlet that is stopped up in the factory. On another model that outlet would go to a tub. I don't know much about double shower head valves. Give DELTA a call.

For the best answer, go to http://www.deltafaucet.com/index.html, then call their customer service. Or just call them at 800-345-3358 between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM CST. They are very good about having trained personnel answer technical questions. I have used them several times for this as I bought all Delta fixtures for my new home.

Yes. Diverter only shifts the water between shower heads. You still need a separate on / off valve

There was no valve (ie: an external valve like one would have in a shower set) that I know of. The braided hoses connected to the hot/cold supply lines. Everything my plumber/remodeler needed to install this faucet set (which, by the way, is very nice) was in the box.

Yes, you will need to plug the tub output, on the bottom of the valve, typical

Yes. The connections are standard hose connections (so you need to plumb for a valve box, like you would have for a washer/dryer). The hoses are attached to the panel, so that you have a couple feet of tolerance on where you mount it. Or you could extend the hoses with simple female adapters you could get from home depot, etc. After get the water connected to the hoses, you mount it to a wall, etc. with the brackets provided. I have it mounted in a shower (no bathtub), but I still like to use the bath tub nozzle to rinse off feet, pets, etc. If you never want to use the bath tub nozzle, I assume you could put a plug to screw onto it, or just be careful not to select that section on the manifold.

There is no need for a rough in valve. The water for the hand held shower is mixed by adjusting the hot and cold taps, with the water flow directional lever in the shower outlet position rather than the tap outlet position

I purchased the Grohe 35015000 Grohsafe Universal Pressure Balance Rough-In Valve as we do not have a tub, just the shower. My contractor did not mention having any problems with it, and the shower heads work great!

It is high pressure to shower - but unless you previously had a tub faucet with shower diverter - you will need to cut off and re-thread the pipe faucet screws into - because this tub faucet is not as long as a tub faucet without diverter.

No it does not require a special valve. It can be installed as any shower head.

hi josh what I mean when you get into the tub do you have to pull a lever to have the water come to your shower head if so make sure that valve is back to tub after the pick will drip for a moment and then stop I hope this will help I have never had a problem and anytime I move I get a new one great day

I am using this valve in my stand up shower. I got rid of my tub in the remod. You still need to buy a Delta handle that will work with this valve though so keep that in mind. Hope that helps.

Good question. Two valves may not be needed. However, it is convenient to preset the pressure with the valve closest to the wall. This could possibly avoid splashing out of shallow pots or in areas of high water pressure. I initially thought it was a useless feature but have since changed my mind.

This sprayer connects to any shower head that uses a standard, threaded "stem" - the pipe that comes out of the wall and connects to the shower head. Otherwise, the brand or make of shower head does not matter. It will not work with tub or most sink faucets (although it might work with a "utility sink" type). Simply unscrew the shower head, thread on the valve, and reinstall the shower head on the other side. The shower head will be slightly lower once the valve is installed. The sprayer hose connects to the valve so that water is diverted into the sprayer instead of the shower head when connected. We use this to bathe our two boxers and it works great!

No this is for shower only. There is a different one for shower / tub combo with a seperate valve you must buy

Yes, it has nothing to do with that. the valve u mean is for mixing hot and cold water to get a Acceptable water temp for your shower pleasure but this only the decorative outside the temp valve u need to mix water not included or is the bath tub spout Wichita u didn't want the spout anyway. Hope that helps.

That's the housing only. It doesn't include the cartridge. The tub port is permanently blocked off on that version (i.e. you can't modify it to open the tub port). When they say it's for shower only, they mean it. When you buy your Delta shower faucet, it'll come with everything else you need. So, if you're putting in a new shower head, you'll need one of these and a new delta shower faucet. That's it.

No, I bought it w the Delta Multichoice shower only valve body. It's nice, I had to make a simple adjustment to get the water temp hot enough.
