Hi guys, I'm completing the rough in for a tile shower in a major master bath reno.
I just bought my Delta trim kit and accompanying rough-in valve online after reading some FAQs answered at the site about which valves were appropriate with that trim. They offered two options:
R10000-UNBX
and the equivalent that just has the extra shutoffs on the valve. I figured I didn't need those so I went with the above one.
When it arrived I realized (probably could have from the photo or description, I guess) that it's actually setup with a tub diverter threaded port on the bottom. I don't need this b/c there will be no tub spout of course.
Since then, I've realized I probably should've bought this R10000-UNWSHF, which has that port blocked for you.
Interestingly, it seems that that model actually cost $10+ more than the one I bought.
My question is, can I use the existing one and just screw (or sweat, etc.) a plug into it and be completely comfortable with that? Or should I go to the expense and trouble to return this one and get the UNWSHF one?
I'm assuming yes, but thought I'd check in with you guys. I'm surprised that with all of the plumbing projects I've been tackling lately I haven't actually posted here yet.
I'm pretty sure I've read a lot here though.
Thanks.
