Delta Faucet Co 144996C Monitor 14 Tub Shower Faucet

Product Description

The DELTA FAUCET CO 144996C is a single-handle tub and shower faucet from the Monitor 14 Series, finished in chrome. It uses a 1-function pressure balance cartridge that allows the installer to set a maximum temperature limit, helping guard against scalding. Flow rate is rated at 1.8 GPM at 80 psi. The unit ships with a Touch Clean raincan showerhead, which resists mineral buildup on the spray nozzles. Licensed plumbers and experienced remodelers install this type of fixture in residential tub-shower applications where code requires pressure balancing valve protection.

The 144996C is suited for residential tub-shower installations where a clean, single-lever chrome trim is specified. The valve connects to 1/2-inch CWT or threads onto 1/2-inch IPS supply lines, making it compatible with standard rough-in configurations commonly found in North American residential construction. The single-lever handle adjusts water temperature and volume in one motion, simplifying use for a wide range of occupants. ADA compliance means the lever operation meets accessibility requirements where that designation is required by local code or project spec.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the lines before beginning any valve or trim work. Verify rough-in dimensions and supply connection type before threading or mounting the valve body. Do not overtighten the IPS threaded connections; use appropriate thread sealant tape on threaded joints.
