        Q:Thanks for the info on adjusting my portwood faucet, I have a few more questions. First, When I lift the diverter for the shower, I still have alot of water coming through the faucet, is this normal? Second, Does the shower head just screw off?

          Q:I just had this installed with a bathroom remodel. I can't get but one jet mode, that's massaging. The handle only turns from the right to the middle, so I can't get HOT water. Is this fixable? I love that it balances, but I like my water hotter.

          A:  Hi Phyllis, Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company! The 144770 can be adjusted, I have attached a link to show how to adjust the RLS on our Delta shower cartridges. This will provide the option of hotter water, also, we recommend making sure the water heater temperature is set to 120 or lower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By5b7uazCqM Also, we would recommend soaking the shower head in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water, this will help break up any debris causing the mode selector to not work properly. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance. Best Regards, Nicole Digital Communications Specialist

            Q:Will this mount to an existing monitor 1400 series valve that already in the wall? Or does the universal only mean going forward Delta is making the same valve?

            A:  Hi Chris, Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company! Yes, this model will install onto an existing R10000-UNBX rough-in valve already installed. However, if the existing valve was installed prior to 2006 you must use the RP19804 cartridge and not the new RP46074 cartridge included with the trim kit. Please reach out with further questions!

                  A:  I do not know that answer. I purchased mine for our new construction home that was being built and the plumbing installed it. I will say it is a wonderful looking shower set and I love the shower head functions.

                    Q:Can the diverter be used to divert water from the shower head to a hand held shower instead of the tub?

                    Answer This Question

                    A:  Hi faucet, Thank you for your question! Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. Here is what we can do to resolve your issue for you. The Delta Faucet model 144770-SP Monitor(R) 14 Series Tub And Shower In Spotshield Brushed Nickel diverter is integrated into the tub spout and therefore can only be used if the tub spout is used. The tub spout can be not installed and the Delta Faucet model R11000 3- And 6-Setting Diverter Rough and your choice of 3 or 6 setting Delta Faucet diverter trim can be used to divert to your choice of Delta Faucet hand shower. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or for further assistance. Thank you for being a loyal Delta Faucet customer! Best Regards, Skyler

                            A:  Terrible manufacturing. Grooves were not made properly to screw in. Box wasn’t structured properly and shipment causes a dent in the handle and rings
