CAUTION: This system/device must be set by the

installer to ensure safe, maximum temperature.

Any change in the setting may raise the discharge

temperature above the limit considered safe and

may lead to hot water burns.

NOTICE TO INSTALLER: CAUTION! – As the

installer of this valve, it is your responsibility

to properly INSTALL and ADJUST this valve

per the instructions given. This valve does

not automatically adjust for inlet temperature

changes, therefore, someone must make the

necessary Rotational Limit Stop adjustments

at the time of installation and further adjustments

may be necessary due to seasonal water

temperature change. YOU MUST inform the

owner/user of this requirement by following the

instructions.

If you or the owner/user are unsure

how to properly make these adjustments

please

refer to page 5

and if still uncertain, call us at

1-800-345-DELTA.

After installation and adjustment, you must afx

your name, company name and the date you

adjusted the Rotational Limit Stop to the caution

label provided and apply or attach the label to

the back side of the closest cabinet door and

the warning label to the water heater.

Leave

this Instruction Sheet for the owner’s/user’s

reference.

WARNING: This pressure balanced or

thermostatic bath valve is designed

to minimize the effects of outlet water

temperature changes due to inlet pressure

changes, commonly caused by dishwashers,

washing machines, toilets and the like. It may

not provide protection from hot water burns

when there is a failure of other temperature

controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing

system, if the rotational limit stop is not

properly set or if the hot water temperature is

changed after the settings are made or if the

water inlet changes due to seasonal changes.

WARNING: Do not install a shut-off device on

either outlet of this valve. When this type of

device shuts off the water ow, it can defeat

the ability of the valve to balance the hot and

cold water pressures.

This document describes the MultiChoice® Valve Trim with Diverter (T24 Models), an installation and owner's manual for a Delta faucet product.

Function Description

The MultiChoice® Valve Trim with Diverter is designed to control water flow and temperature for a bath or shower system. It incorporates a pressure-balanced or thermostatic valve that minimizes the effects of outlet water temperature changes due to inlet pressure fluctuations, which can be caused by other household appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, or toilets. The diverter function allows the user to switch water flow between multiple outlets (e.g., showerhead, hand shower, tub spout).

A key safety feature is the Rotational Limit Stop, which limits the amount of hot water available in the mix to prevent scalding. This stop must be properly adjusted during installation to ensure a safe maximum discharge temperature, typically not exceeding 120°F (49°C), though local plumbing codes may require a lower temperature. The valve does not automatically adjust for inlet temperature changes, requiring manual adjustments to the Rotational Limit Stop due to seasonal water temperature variations.

The diverter cartridge can support either 3-function or 6-function diverter operations, allowing for various configurations of water outlets.

Important Technical Specifications

Model: T24 Models
Valve Type: MultiChoice® pressure-balanced or thermostatic valve with diverter.
Maximum Outlet Temperature: Adjustable via Rotational Limit Stop, typically set to 120°F (49°C) or lower as per local codes.
Wall Thickness Compatibility:
- Standard installation: Up to 1 1/8" finished wall thickness.
- Thick wall installations: Up to 2 1/8" finished wall thickness (requires installation kit RP90542).
Diverter Functions: Available in 3-function and 6-function configurations, as detailed in the "Diverter Handle Reference Sheet."
Cartridge Installation: Standard and back-to-back/reverse installation options are supported. For reverse installations (hot on right, cold on left), the cartridge must be rotated so "HOT COLD" appears on the bottom.

Usage Features

Temperature Control: The main valve handle controls both water flow and temperature. The Rotational Limit Stop allows for precise adjustment of the maximum hot water temperature.
Diverter Operation: The diverter handle allows the user to select different water outlets. The "Diverter Handle Reference Sheet" illustrates the flow patterns for 3-function and 6-function diverters, showing which outlets are active in each position.
Ease of Adjustment: The Rotational Limit Stop can be pulled out and rotated to adjust the maximum hot water temperature. Each "notch" or "dent" typically changes the temperature by 4°F - 16°F, depending on inlet conditions.
Installation Flexibility: The MultiChoice® Universal Valve allows for both standard and back-to-back installations, accommodating different plumbing setups.
Aesthetic Trim: The trim sleeve, escutcheon, and handles are designed for a finished appearance, covering the rough-in body and cartridge.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: The product finish is durable but can be damaged by harsh abrasives or polishes. Cleaning should be done gently with a damp cloth and then dried with a soft towel.
Troubleshooting Leaks (Faucet/Showerhead):
- Symptoms: Leaks from the faucet/showerhead.
- Solution: Turn off water supplies. Replace seats and springs (repair kit RP4993). Check and replace lower O-rings (RP14414) if necessary. If leaking persists, replace the valve cartridge (RP46474).
Troubleshooting Inconsistent Temperature:
- Symptoms: Inability to maintain constant water temperature.
- Solution: Replace the balancing spool assembly (RP46074).
Cartridge Removal: To remove the valve cartridge for maintenance, turn off water supplies, remove the handle and bonnet nut. The cartridge should not be pried out with a screwdriver; instead, the handle should be placed on the stem and rotated approximately 1/4 turn counter-clockwise after the stop has been contacted, then lifted out.
Periodic Inspection: If the local water contains lime, rust, sand, or other contaminants, the pressure-balancing valve requires periodic inspection. The frequency depends on the amount of contaminants. To inspect the valve cartridge, remove it and shake it vigorously. If it rattles, it's functional; if not, replace the balancing spool assembly.
O-ring Lubrication: Applying a light coating of plumber's grease to O-rings can aid in assembly and removal of cartridges.
Replacement Parts: For additional replacement parts, users are directed to www.deltafaucet.com. Only genuine Delta® replacement parts are recommended.
