Delta Arvo 14 Series Matte Black Shower Faucet Set with In2ition

In this review of the Delta Arvo 14 Series Matte Black Shower Faucet Set with In2ition, the bottom line is simple: this kit is best for homeowners who want a flexible, durable shower upgrade without opening walls. It includes the Delta MultiChoice Universal shower valve and the In2ition 2-in-1 dual shower head so the seller or installer can swap trim without reworking plumbing. The biggest reason to buy is the combo of a dockable handheld and overhead shower in a corrosion-resistant matte black finish that is easy to keep clean.

Key Features

• Rough included: The MultiChoice Universal Valve is included so users can install or upgrade trim without tearing out tile or altering behind-wall plumbing.
• 2-in-1 shower: The In2ition dual shower head offers a detachable hand shower that works independently or docked for simultaneous overhead and handheld spray.
• Multiple spray modes: Four spray options including full body, massaging, a combined spray with massage and a pause setting give practical control over flow and comfort.
• Temperature protection: The Monitor pressure-balanced valve cartridge helps maintain a consistent water temperature when other fixtures run.
• Easy maintenance: Touch-Clean soft rubber spray holes allow mineral deposits to be wiped away quickly without soaking or chemical cleaners.
• Durable finish: The matte black finish is salt fog tested for corrosion resistance, helping it resist blistering, cracking or peeling.

Who It's For

This Delta shower set suits homeowners, renovators and plumbers who want a complete trim kit with valve included, and need the flexibility to replace or update shower trim later without major demolition. The detachable hand shower is ideal for families, pet owners and anyone who values a handheld for rinsing or accessibility.

Those who rely on exceptionally high flow for custom shower systems, or who have long run low-pressure plumbing, should check local water pressure and plumbing compatibility first, since some users report mixed impressions on flow and water pressure in different installations.
