Delta Velum 14 Series Gold Tub and Shower Trim Kit - Champagne Bronze

In this review of the Delta Velum 14 Series Single-Function Tub and Shower Faucet Set, the bottom line is straightforward: this shower trim kit is for homeowners who want a modern, understated gold look with reliable pressure-balanced temperature control, provided they already have or will purchase the compatible rough valve. The kit offers an intensely powerful full body spray and a durable finish that promises long-term resistance to corrosion and tarnish, but it does not include the rough-in valve, so budget that extra component when planning installation.

Key Features

• Trim kit only: Includes the valve trim, shower handle and cartridge but requires Delta's MultiChoice Universal shower valve purchased separately to complete the system.
• Powerful spray: Delivers an intensely powerful full body spray with forceful streams for a satisfying shower experience across varied water needs.
• Monitor pressure-balance cartridge: The included cartridge helps protect from sudden temperature changes by balancing hot and cold water pressure.
• Durable finish: Champagne Bronze is designed to look like new for life and resists corrosion, tarnish and discoloration in normal use.
• Easy maintenance: Spot-resistant surfaces and Touch-Clean style design make wiping away mineral build-up and fingerprints simpler over time.
• Water saving performance: Built to Delta's WaterSense guidance so it uses less water without sacrificing shower performance.

Who It's For

The Velum 14 Series trim kit is best for homeowners and renovators seeking a modern, muted gold finish and strong, consistent performance who are comfortable sourcing the compatible MultiChoice Universal rough valve (such as model R10000-UNBX) separately. It suits bathrooms that benefit from a pressure-balanced valve to avoid temperature swings when other fixtures are used.

It is not ideal for buyers looking for an all-in-one purchase that includes the rough-in valve, or for projects on an ultra-tight budget that cannot accommodate the additional valve cost. Pros who prefer more ornate or maximum-luxury styling may want a different trim aesthetic.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Elegant Champagne Bronze finish that customers describe as muted and attractive.
• Reliable temperature protection from the Monitor pressure-balanced cartridge included in the trim kit.
• Strong, full body spray performance that delivers satisfying water coverage.
• Durable finish and easy-to-clean surfaces reduce long-term maintenance.

Cons

• Rough valve is sold separately, so total system cost and installation require an additional purchase.
• Some customers have mixed opinions on value for money relative to price expectations.
