PRODUCT PROFILE
Less stress for the plumber, more options for customer
The word ‘revolutionary’ may be over-used these days, but
it’s not a stretch to say that a new universal tub/shower
valve from Delta Faucet Canada will change the way
plumbers go about their business while allowing homeowners
and designers unprecedented flexibility in planning
bathroom renovations.
The MultiChoice Universal valve allows the plumber to
change shower and tub function or make trim changes whenever
required by the homeowner, all without touching the
plumbing behind the wall. And the plumber no longer has to
worry about installing the wrong valve for the trim package
that the customer chooses.
The key element is a three-cartridge system that allows
the plumber to change the function by simply changing the
cartridge. The 13 and 14-Series Delta tub/showers use a
single-function cartridge (temperature control only). A dualfunction
pressure balanced cartridge for 17 Series tub/showers
allows the user to control pressure and temperature
separately. The third option is a dual-function thermostatic
valve cartridge. It keeps water temperature consistent by
actually measuring and monitoring the temperature. Offered
for all 17T Series Delta tub/showers, this allows the user to
set the temperature so it remains constant shower after
shower.
There is only one rough to install. A sturdy metal mounting
bracket secures the valve to a stringer. The square
plaster guard is the size of a standard 4-1/4" tile. It can be
removed or snapped in place without tools. The bonnet nut
has Teflon coated threads to prevent it from seizing to the
valve body. A heat resistant pressure test cap allows air or
Dual flush toilet

gravity flapperless flush design

and through a

trapway. Features
include a
skirted and
sculpted bowl,
a wide neck, with the dual-flush handle
integrated into the lid.

water testing to 300 psi prior to installing the cartridge. The
unit is available with IPS, PEX and universal connections.
The cartridge is packaged with the trim. This helps eliminate
theft or damage on the job site and reduces up front
costs at the rough-in stage.
Delta has made a number of performance enhancements
over the company’s previous tub/shower valves as well. Flow
for the 13, 14 and 17 series is up by one gpm. The temperature
limit stop is a one-piece design with finer teeth for
more precise temperature adjustment.
