Delta Faucet Co 144768C-BL Tub Shower Faucet Matte Black

Product Description

The DELTA FAUCET CO 144768C-BL is a Monitor 14 Series tub and shower faucet trim kit finished in matte black. It includes a pressure-balance valve mechanism that holds water temperature within 3 degrees F of the set point, protecting against sudden shifts in hot or cold water supply pressure. Flow rate is rated at 1.8 GPM at 80 psi, meeting WaterSense standards by using at least 20% less water than conventional shower heads without a reduction in performance. Licensed plumbers and remodelers install this unit as part of a complete tub-shower assembly in residential applications.

This faucet is suited for residential tub and shower installations where pressure-balance protection and water efficiency are required. The complete unit ships with MultiChoice universal valve trim, a rough-in valve, and a pull-up tub spout, making it appropriate for new construction and retrofit projects. The included trim handle and showerhead are ADA compliant, making this assembly a fit for accessible bathroom builds. The single full-body spray setting delivers steady, full-coverage flow for general shower use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
