Delta Albion 14 Series Tub and Shower Trim Kit - Dual Head

In this review of the Delta Albion 14 Series Single-Handle Tub and Shower Faucet Set, the bottom line is clear: this trim kit is aimed at homeowners who want a versatile, water-saving shower experience with a coordinated, architectural look, provided they supply the proper rough valve. The biggest reason to buy is the integrated In2ition 2-in-1 dual shower, which combines a docked shower head and a detachable hand shower for convenience and flexibility without sacrificing style.

Key Features

• Trim kit only: This listing is for the shower trim and matching hardware only, so the MultiChoice Universal Shower Valve must be purchased separately to complete installation.
• Dual shower head: The In2ition 2-in-1 Dual Shower lets users run the shower head, the hand shower, or both together for targeted rinsing or a fuller spray experience.
• Four spray settings: The shower head offers full body spray, full body with massage, massage only, and a pause mode useful for shaving or lathering while preserving temperature.
• Pressure-balanced safety: The included Monitor pressure-balanced valve cartridge helps protect against sudden temperature changes for a more consistent shower.
• Easy-clean finishes: SpotShield and Touch-Clean spray holes reduce buildup and resist water spots and fingerprints for lower maintenance.
• WaterSense efficiency: WaterSense labeling means the shower uses at least 20% less water than industry standard without compromising performance.

Who It's For

The Albion trim kit is best for homeowners remodeling a bathroom who already plan to install Delta's MultiChoice Universal Valve or who are comfortable buying a compatible rough-in valve like the recommended R10000. It suits those who value a coordinated metal finish, the flexibility of a detachable hand shower, and the water savings of a WaterSense product.

It is not the right pick for someone who needs a complete valve-and-trim package in one purchase, or for buyers who expect upscale, heavy all-metal internals based on mixed customer feedback about build perception. Also check compatibility with your existing plumbing before ordering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Integrated dual shower gives flexible use and simultaneous head and hand showering.
• WaterSense labeling saves water without sacrificing useful spray options.
• SpotShield and Touch-Clean features make routine cleaning quicker and reduce visible spots.
• Pressure-balanced cartridge provides dependable temperature protection.

Cons

• Trim kit requires a separately purchased rough-in valve, which adds cost and complexity to the project.
• Some customers report mixed feelings on perceived build quality and color matching versus expectations.

Our Verdict

The Delta Albion 14 Series trim kit is a strong choice for remodelers who want a flexible dual shower and a modern, coordinated look while saving water. It represents good value if you already plan to buy the compatible MultiChoice valve or accept the separate purchase, but those seeking an all-in-one package or expecting uniformly heavy-duty build may want to consider alternatives.
