Delta Faucet Co 144996C-OB Tub Shower Faucet Oil Rubbed Bronze

Product Description

The DELTA FAUCET CO 144996C-OB is a single-handle tub and shower faucet in the Windemere series, finished in oil rubbed bronze. It uses a single-function pressure balance cartridge with Monitor Scald Guard technology to hold water temperature within plus or minus 3 degrees F, reducing the risk of thermal shock during use. The body is solid brass construction. A curved lever handle controls both temperature and flow. The package includes a full spray raincan showerhead and a 4-13/16 inch pull-up tub spout. Licensed plumbers install this unit in residential tub-shower applications where a clean, single-control valve is required.

The 144996C-OB fits standard residential tub-shower rough-in configurations. The tub spout sweats onto 1/2 inch copper pipe or threads onto 1/2 inch iron pipe size connections, giving installers flexibility depending on existing rough-in conditions. The oil rubbed bronze finish is covered under a lifetime faucet finish warranty to the original purchaser. This unit is ADA compliant and meets California and Vermont low-lead law requirements, making it suitable for installations in those states without additional modification.

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the lines before beginning any work on the valve or spout connections. Verify rough-in dimensions and connection type before committing to sweat or threaded spout installation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cartridge orientation and handle stop adjustment to ensure proper scald guard function.
