Used this on a shower remodel where I had the wall open anyway. It's solid brass, heavy in your hand, and the ports are clean and true — not the rough cast junk where you gotta chase the threads before anything seats. I sweated mine to copper and it took heat fine, no leaks when I pressured it up.Nice thing is it's a MultiChoice-style body, so once it's in the wall you can hang whatever Delta trim you want on it later and never open that wall again. Comes plugged for testing, which saves you a headache. It's shower-only high flow, no tub port, so make sure that's actually what you're building before you solder it in.Two things. One: measure your rough-in depth against the plaster guard before you close up the wall — that's the mistake that costs you a Saturday. Two: it's a valve body only, no trim or cartridge, so order that separate. Four stars 'cause it's behind drywall now and the real test is five years from now.

Bought two of these for a double shower setup in our new construction. Both valves were identical, machined flawlessly. Used the threaded inlets with some tape and torque—no leaks on a 24-hour pressure test. All brass construction feels like it belongs in a hotel. Now the walls are closed and we can take our sweet time picking trims. The universal system means if we ever sell, the next owners can easily update the look. High fives all around.

I'll admit I was nervous about soldering, but this valve made me look like I knew what I was doing. The brass heated super evenly and the solder flowed right in. The included guard kept everything at the right depth while we hung backer board. Capped it off, turned the water back on, and not a single drip. Just remember it's rough-in only—you'll need a cartridge and trim kit separately. Honestly, that's perfect because I got to finish the tile without stressing about the final look. DIY win.

Remodeling our 80's hall bath and this Delta rough-in valve is no joke. Picked it up and immediately noticed the weight—all brass, zero plastic corners cut. Sweat the connections, pressure tested, bone dry first try. Heads up, it's valve body only, no trim or cartridge, but that's the whole point. I can close up the wall now and let my wife obsess over finishes for the next three months. The multichoice design means we can swap styles down the road without opening the tile.

Our 90's guest bath had an original valve that moaned every time you used it. Ripped it out and put in this Delta rough-in valve. The difference is night and day. The brass body is a solid chunk compared to the corroded old metal we cut out. Used threaded connections with Teflon, no sweat, no mess. Now the shower is dead quiet and the temperature stays steady even when someone flushes. I love that the multichoice system lets me modernize the trim later without opening the wall again. Absolute no-brainer for any remodel.

Hired a guy to rough in our new shower, he disappeared after framing. The Delta valve was already out of the box, so I read the instructions twice and went for it. Sweated the 1/2" copper on a Saturday morning—the brass took heat so evenly I barely used half a roll of solder. Cap tested it for two days while I hung cement board, not a single weep. Honestly, the hardest part was explaining to my wife why the shower looked like a torture device for two weeks. Trim clicked on months later like it was waiting for me. If you're stuck mid-renovation, this valve won't let you down.
