Those three tube Delta's catch more DIYer's than anything else...

When he told me about it over the phone, I was LMAO. Then he was in a hurry to fix it because it was leaking water. Since it was too late to start it, I took the valve out and plugged the waterlines for the night.

I cut an access in his closet so he wouldn't have to replace the tub walls. "I never thought of that," he said.

Of course the new R-10000 universal valve takes that money away...

Yup, for lower priced tub shower valves the new Delta's are what I use, I like them and the cartridges come out real easy.
