Delta Saylor 14 Series 5-Setting Shower Faucet Set - Pressure Balanced

In this review of the Delta Saylor 14 Series shower faucet set, the bottom line is practical: this is a trim kit for someone who wants reliable temperature control and flexible spray options without replacing a whole valve system. The set delivers a classic-modern look and useful controls, but it is important to know the rough valve is sold separately; installers should plan to pair it with Delta's MultiChoice Universal rough-in (recommended R10000-UNBX) to complete the unit. Overall it suits remodels where finish quality and a pressure-balanced cartridge matter more than an all-in-one kit.

Key Features

• Trim kit only: The package is the shower head and handle trim, intended to be installed over a separately purchased rough-in valve to finish the system.
• Five spray settings: Multiple modes including full body, full body with massage, massage, shampoo rinse and pause give practical control for rinsing and relaxation.
• Pressure-balanced safety: The Monitor pressure-balanced cartridge helps prevent sudden temperature changes when water use elsewhere causes pressure shifts.
• Durable Brilliance finish: The brushed nickel Brilliance finish is tested for corrosion resistance and resists cracking, peeling and color change over time.
• Easy maintenance: Touch-Clean soft spray holes let users wipe away mineral buildup quickly without soaking or harsh cleaners.

Who It's For

This Delta Saylor trim set is best for homeowners and contractors working on bathroom updates who already plan to use a MultiChoice style rough-in or want the flexibility to choose a valve separately. It fits projects that prioritize a pressure-balanced valve for consistent shower temperature and a finish that stands up to daily wear.

It is not ideal for buyers who need a complete valve-and-trim package in one box or who prefer an ultra-high-pressure spa head as some reviewers reported mixed impressions of water pressure depending on household plumbing. Someone without a compatible rough-in or unwilling to purchase the recommended valve should look for a full kit instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid, consistent Delta build and finish that maintains appearance over time.
• Versatile spray settings that cover gentle rinse to massage and a pause option for water saving.
• Pressure-balanced cartridge provides reliable protection against sudden temperature changes.

Cons

• Requires purchase of a separate rough-in valve to complete the installation, which adds cost and planning.
• Water pressure experiences are mixed across installations, so performance can depend on existing plumbing.

Our Verdict

The Delta Saylor 14 Series trim kit is a sensible choice for remodels where finish durability and pressure-balanced temperature control matter.

No. The valve is sold separately and Delta recommends the MultiChoice universal rough-in (R10000-UNBX) to complete the installation.

Will the pressure-balanced cartridge prevent scalding?
The included Monitor pressure-balanced cartridge helps maintain a consistent temperature by balancing hot and cold pressure, reducing sudden temperature shifts from other household water use.

Is the finish resistant to corrosion?
Yes. The Brilliance brushed nickel finish is tested for corrosion resistance and is certified to resist peeling, chipping and color change under rigorous testing.
