Porter In2ition 2-in-1 Single-Handle 5-Spray Shower Faucet in Oil Rubbed Bronze (Valve Included)

One more task taken care of. In the remodel saga, we ordered this Delta shower only kit in oil rubbed bronze. It came pretty quick and packaged “ok”. The contents were sort of everywhere in the box but nothing was damaged. The kit does come with pretty good instructions and the rough in valve. Since I was replacing an outdated unit, I cut both copper supply lines and the copper shower head supply line. I used brass female adapters for each and sweat the rest of the plumbing in tact. No leaks, and the unit functions perfectly. But here’s my issue: the shower head and handheld unit are both plastic, they work well, but they are plastic. The hose that connects to the handheld unit is vinyl. It was rolled up tightly in the box and it is still holding a curl and doesn’t hang “natural”. We’ve used it a few times and it’s not relaxing yet. It doesn’t harm the function, but it looks cheap. I might end up buying the higher grade replacement hose or a different shower head assembly.

I love delta products to start with, this came as a package unit a mixing valve with cartridge and all the trim pieces. They all fit together well and look great. I love that you don’t have to go and find a universal valve or try and match a cartridge to fit etc. it’s all in one! I as a contractor know what a pain it can be to find parts to fit. This valve also can be used with other delta finishes if you change your mind later on a real plus.

I replaced a 6" Delta showerhead with the Porter ORB finish with In2ition. The unit was very simple to install. The look is great as well. Even though the unit has a life time guarantee, I have concerns about the plastic material that the head is constructed of. Popping the hand-held unit in and out over time might become an issue. Our shower head arm was placed almost 6.5 ft high and I'm 5 ft 1in, reaching the lever for the spray settings on the unit is an issue for me. There were no operational instructions in the box. I just moved the lever and pushed the button on the hand-held unit to see what they did. I found the force of water with both the outer ring and hand-held is better the original 6 inch head but the best pressure is with the hand-held unit while mounted. Haven't really used the hand-held unit for much at this time. By the way, the shipping box was slightly damaged on arrival and most of the parts were just lose in the box but I didn't notice any damage to the unit as a whole.

First of all I don’t understand the interest in the oil rubbed bronze color. It is borderline black with some bronze-brown smears and a difficult color to coordinate in general. Color aside, I was shocked and disappointed that this delta shower head is plastic! It is not metal, it is plastic! The handheld shower head, while a great idea, was a little difficult and clumsy to use and disengage from the main shower head. I thought it was magnetic but it is not. Overall, the product works fine but I was just slightly let down by the material and build quality compared to the price and brand name.

I am using the Delta Porter Shower Faucet in a very small mountain remodel I am doing. I like the removable head to accomplish other cleaning tasks that arise in day to day life. I have yet to use a shower with the secondary head that supplies continuous water, that will be a nice feature. I have yet to install this unit yet as evidenced by the pictures. I would like to update my review when the remodel is complete. I feel like my expectations will be met.

We are currently in a small renovation of one of our bathrooms. In order to make it a little more modern, we decided to switch out all of the chrome fixtures for oil rubbed bronze. I selected this item because it seems to match all of the other fixtures that we have used so far. Let me start by saying that when it comes to plumbing work, we try to leave that to the experts whenever possible. Also, I was not aware that there are different types of fixtures used for the portion that turns the water on and off. We currently have the type that requires you to pull the knob and then turn right or left for hot or cold. I was hoping that the parts that came with this would work with the existing plumbing. I found out differently. However, it is our intention to hire a plumber to have this replaced when we decide to rip out the walls around the tub. That being said, the showerhead and hose portion is definitely nice. Another issue we ran into was the pipe that screws into the wall that holds the showerhead measured 7 1/2 inches, 2 inches longer than what we previously had. 2 inches doesn’t sound like much but it actually extended the showerhead too far out into the tub so we had to use the existing pipe at least for now. As for the showerhead itself, I do like the fact that it actually has two parts. The inner handle which can be removed and used as a handheld, and the outer ring which when using with the hand held provides a rain shower type of affect. You can set the showerhead for either just the outer ring, just the handheld, or both. Another feature that I really like is if you are using just the handheld portion, there is a button that you can push that will temporarily stop the flow of water. I especially like this as I do my best to try and conserve water whenever possible. One drawback is the hose that is attached to the handheld portion of the shower. First of all, it took a lot of finagling to get it to uncoil. Second, it has a terrible odor to it which actually has the smell of onions. I’m hoping that this will dissipate very quickly. The showerhead, including the outer ring, measures a full 7 inches in diameter. The handheld alone measures 4 inches. The hose that connects to the handheld is 68 inches long not including the connectors. With the connectors it measures a full 6 feet or 72 inches. All of the parts are metal with the exception of the shower ring and handheld. Those are made from plastic. While we will have to hire a professional to replace the control portion, the remainder of the components I really do love and would definitely recommend.

This shower valve has a deep rich color and looks great with our setup. Installation is a breeze with standard plumbing tools, pipe dope, and teflon.... It's nice that you don't have to use the sprayer unless you want to...we opted to go with a rain head. The only downside that I see on this product is that we have very hard water.... In just a few days if you don't wipe the cover plates off or the shower head... It will leave deposits and get spotty when it dries. I would definitely recommend the product it has a smooth range of motion and options.

The Delta In2ition shower faucet is definitely a looker in my bathroom. The bronze finish is excellent and matches with my other bronze products perfectly. The box comes with many many parts, but they are actually quite easy to assemble. FYI, this one comes with a valve, whereas many would require you to purchase it separately, which is VERY helpful if you are doing any new renovations or wanted to replace all the parts. My contractor had no issue installing at all. One point, however, I found the pressure of the faucet to be quite weak at first. There are two things you can do: 1- remove the O-ring, which is a black rubber ring behind the screen, and 2- remove the restrictor all together. I found the restrictor pretty hard to remove without strong clamps, so for now I only removed the O-ring, which did help increase the pressure. The faucet has different spray options. I only really use one, but having options is always nice. The tube for the handle feels like plastic, but still finished nicely and seems durable, so no complaints. It takes a couple of days for it to stop curling in a loop.

First of all can we all agree that Delta makes the most amazing products?! This shower is absolutely gorgeous and is awesome to use. As you'll see in the pictures there's two parts to the actual shower, a big round shower with great pressure and the handheld shower that snaps nicely into the center of the big round one. It's got several different types of sprays with different pressure and, I think, an extra long (not sure what its called) cord. It feels great on aching muscles and looks fancy. I highly recommend. Installation of the shower part was a breeze the handle not so much. And you will need a few tools for that part. Very pleased with this Delta Porter shower!

Yes we love the look but hate the automatic scalding protection. I adjusted the shower valve temp but I have a well and my pressure fluctuates so the temp of the water does too.
