Questions & Answers
Do i need to buy a Cartridge if i'm purchasing the Rough-In Kit Model #R11000 and the Vero 1-Handle 3-Setting Diverter Valve Trim Kit in Chrome Model #T11853 ? if yes, please let me know which cartridge is appropriate to work with a shower head and a handheld shower .
Yes. Cartridge controls volume and temperature. Diverter valve controls where water goes. Simplest cartridge is all you need because you have a diverter valve.
Dear ET, Thank you for your question. The 3-Setting cartridge assembly would be in the box with the Delta Vero Diverter Trim T11853. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/T11853 Best regards, Tanya
I'm only using 2 features, do I cap the 3rd outlet? Using with Showerhead and Handheld. I was looking at pairing this valve with the Ara 3-setting 2-port diverter trim. I want to be able to use the showerhead, or the handheld, or both at the same time. When I plumb this valve do I need to cap one of the outlets since I'm only using two showerheads? If I don't cap the third outlet, where do I plumb it to?
Yes you are correct. One has to be caped for two way option.
Hi Ryan, Thank you for your question. You will need to cap the right port of the Delta R11000 when only using two components. This information can be found in the installation instructions that is included with the product. You can also view the installation instructions on the website. Best regards, Brandis
Is it ok to turn/orientate this valve 90 degrees as long as you still bring supply in the same port?
Hi Stiff426, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend to do this in a tub and shower setting because it can cause water to exit the shower head when using the tub spout. Only a straight drop of 1/2" copper or iron pipe should be used, with 1 90 degree elbow behind the tub spout. In a shower-only setting it will work, but turning the valve will cause the escutcheon plate to be sideways as well. Thanks, Jon
I plan on installing 2 shower heads, a rainfall head, and a hand wand. I purchased both the 11000 and 10000 valves and the Cassidy diverted valve. I know I can only have 3 devices on the 6 position valve. Those will be the 2 shower heads and the rain shower head. How will I plumb in the hand wand? Also, what trim do I need for the 10000 on-off valve?
I suggest that you plumb the 2 shower heads together so that the 2 use only one of the three valve positions. Then use the other two diverter positions for the rainfall head and hand wand.
Dear Schuffy, Thank you for your question. To install a handshower with your custom shower set up, you would need a 3 way shower arm diverter or install another R10000-UNBX and R11000 valve. I have included below, the Delta Custom Shower Design Guide to better assist with installation options. https://www.deltafaucet.com/files/live/sites/delta/files/for-professionals/product-resources/catalogs-brochures/DL-1879_Cust_Shower_Guide_Final.pdf Best regards, Tanya
will this valve work with the BT14296ss trim kit ?
Dear Mrb51, Thank you for your question. The Delta R11000 is a Diverter Rough In valve, not designed to connect to hot and cold water supplies. The Rough In Valve you would need for your trim kit BT14296-SS is the R10000-UNBX. Best regards, Tanya
I believe this piece is a filter. We have really hard water and I believe its clogged .i replaced the valve and no water will come out of the tub or shower spout.
Hi Reggie, Thank you for your question! The R11000 diverter valve does not include a filter. Your description sounds like you may be referring to a control valve with cartridge. For assistance with this please contact our customer service department at 1-800-345-3358 or via email at customerservice@deltafaucet.com. -Brandis
what else is needed to complete install?
Hi JOG, Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # R11000 is a diverter rough-in valve. You will need to have another valve to turn the water on and off. We recommend model R10000-UNBX and then you will need matching trims for both valves. Thanks. Jody
I purchased and installed the foundations single handle shower complete rough and trim kit last year. The trim is chrome. I decided to switch everything to brushed bronze including the sink faucet, lighting and shower doors. Is there a brushed bronze trim kit that can be installed with the diverter valve which comes with kit B112900? I cannot find any information on this.
Hi Chris, Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model B112900 is not available in a Brushed Bronze finish. This collection does not offer a diverter rough and trim in the series. You will need to match the finish with another collection. Thanks. Jody
