DELTA FAUCET 50570-CZ-PR Universal Showering Components Wall Elbow, Champagne Bronze

I cant belive this didnt already come with the delta shower faucet already that was $250. 5 dollars worth odd metal and plastic for 50 is ridiculous.

Seems to match my Delta Trim, however the hard Black Backing Plate does not match any of my other Delta Trim and does not conform to the tile, gout or unit itself. There were no instructions as it came in a plain white box, I am not a plumber and do not know the standards, I’m just saying a more pliable gasket material may have been better but a nice coat of silicone is needed to fill in the imperfections from such a hard plastic. Install straight forward, attached to nipple not provided, silicone ….

Small and matches the shower faucet diverter

Good product

Love it, works just expected

Exactly the item needed for new master shower.

Like easy to install

This item is sold without a connecting threaded pipe. Ill explain this observation after I point out what they should be selling! The omitted item is a half-inch pipe, threaded at each end, all the way to a narrow connecting section in the middle (either smooth or able to accept a hex drive). Ideally this pipe would be around 4 to 5 inches and would have constant thread diameter so you simply tape up the ends and screw them into the wall and fitting as far as needed. Too long? All you have to do is trim the pipe ends with a saw or dremel. That would be a beautiful, elegant solution. Time to install, on average, less than 15 minutes with the correct tools to-hand. So whats the issue here? Well Lowes, Home Depot etc dont sell threaded pipes with a constant external and internal (thread) diameter. This is because the want the thread to bite at a certain point and form a decent seal. You can then crank the pipe maybe a half turn to grind metal threads together and form a seal. But unfortunately thats not what we want here. In our case we need adjust-ability. So having drawn a blank at Lowes/Home Depot/ Ace Hardware, I set out for specialist plumbing outlets. No joy! A completely fruitless and expensive waste of time. I eventually went to a friend with a professional lathe who turned threads onto a length of pipe for me. Installation time, 2 days. Ive bought many Delta items for plumbing over the years and Ive come to the unalterable conclusion that Delta hates the home DIYer. The item itself is reasonably decent but also crazy expensive for what is dubious metal and a cheap plastic seal.

matched perfect to my bathroom design

Although the fixture has not been installed, it is exactly what we wanted! Im looking forward to our luxury shower!
