Review on πŸ› Delta Faucet R10000-UNBX MultiChoice Universal Tub and Shower Valve Body for Black Tub Faucet Trim Kits by Kyle Mason

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Check for defects upon receipt!

I'm not a plumber and I really learned a lot from this experience. Firstly, if you're wondering why Delta, Moen and other well-known brands are so expensive, here's why: THEY HAVE SPARE PARTS. When your shower valve starts to leak (usually around 10 years old), you can buy a new valve core and have it work like new for $40. This saves you from replacing the valve, which means you don't destroy the tile/fiberglass around the valve. If you buy a cheap Chinese valve and shower hardware kit, you will have to pay to rebuild the entire shower if it fails. As a bonus, once this is in place, you can update your bathroom with a new shower stall without having to deal with plumbing. This product works great. It mixes the temperature of the water well and the water doesn't get cold or hot when flushing the toilet etc. I received one with a little damage: one of the notches had broken off the plastic bracket. It could have worked, but I didn't want to risk it. Rewain quickly and happily replaced him.
