I bet they are shipping those plugs with valves that come with the trim... like at Home depot and Lowes. My supply house sells the valves seperate than the trim.

Nope, just bought the rough-in valve and it came with the plug.

It does take the blue cartridge and it's a Peerless.............

The part that choctaw posted...the white plug is an RP46079 reuseable test plug.........it also says its sold as a replacement part only. Atleast thats what the paperwork I have from Delta says at the time it was printed.

Here it is for sale...http://www.affordablefaucets.com/del...t-p-11899.html

I am not saying that they dont ship some valves with the plug. Delta makes thousands of parts and are constantly trying things out on a limted basis and only in certain markets.

Masco made it...its rebranded delta.

Just a tid bit. The integral stops on a delta shower valve.......brasscraft fixture stop valve stems will fit as a replacement.....jsut saw you a screwdriver slot on the end of it.......if its roughed in shallow...saw the stem off before you cut the slot. brasscraft is owned by masco that makes Delta.

I don't pay much attention to pex brands. I buy whatever my supplier is selling at the moment. That stuff is Canpex Ultra, made by Vanguard. I've used other brands.

The fittings are not copper (except the stubouts). They are brass and I suppose they come from Vanguard as well (not sure).
