Delta Faucet Floor-Mount Freestanding Tub Filler Rough-In Valve for Delta Freestanding Tub Fillers R4700-FL, Chrome

Read above

Included instructions are basically just pictures but they are very clear and helpful. There's also video from Delta online. I haven't installed the finished tub filler yet, but the rough in was easy. I did have to solder connections to adapt to PEX, but it was easy enough. You have to do this on Delta shower rough-in valves also so I don't see taking a star off for that.I did take one star off because the mounting holes for the plate are not countersunk so you either need pan-head fasteners, or drill counter-sinks. I drilled counter-sinks shown in the pictures. If you install per the instructions, the top surface of the plate should be flush with the underside of the subfloor. If you leave the fasteners without countersinks, the subfloor won't lay flush.Alternatively you could recess the plate more, but when you tighten down the faucet nuts, you will be pulling the subfloor down, flexing it and risk breaking tiles.

Don't buy this one. Get the Delta R4700-FLWS (with Screwdriver Stops).

Nice valve but cannot be directly connected to pex. You need to solder a little copper pipe in order to use pex. Didn’t know that when I bought it but otherwise, I like the valve.

I bought a different pedestal and the water hoses to connect to the valve did not match . Still have not been able to set up completely. Delta installation on the pedestal they sale for $1100-$1500 does not give clear instructions on the sizes of the connectors. I would not purchase again.

My plumber didn’t appreciate having to drive across town looking for a gasket that went on a line cap. Thanks Delta

We are normally stick to Kohler products, however, this unit was much simpler to install than the Kohler equivalent. Worked great for the Delta floor mounted tub filler.

Was easy to install and directions were accurate and easy to follow.
