Delta Velum 14 Single-Function Valve Trim Kit Brushed Gold - Modern

In this review of the Delta Velum 14 Series Single-Function Valve Trim Kit, the bottom line is clear: this trim set is for homeowners and installers who want a clean, modern look and reliable temperature control without replacing a valve. The unit reviewed is a shower trim kit only, with a polished Brushed Gold handle set in Champagne Bronze finish, and is best chosen when you plan to pair it with Delta's recommended MultiChoice Universal Shower Valve for a complete installation. It stands out most for its sturdy design and the included pressure-balanced cartridge that prevents sudden temperature changes.

Key Features

• Trim kit only: This listing is a shower trim kit, so buyers must purchase the compatible Delta MultiChoice Universal Shower Valve separately to complete the installation.
• Pressure-balanced safety: The included Monitor pressure-balanced valve cartridge balances hot and cold water to protect against sudden temperature changes when other fixtures run.
• Single-handle control: The single handle design makes it simple to adjust water temperature quickly with one hand for everyday convenience.
• Durable finish: Deltas Brilliance finishes are engineered for corrosion resistance and tested to outperform typical standards for long-lasting appearance.
• Backed by warranty: Delta's Limited Lifetime Warranty provides confidence in installation and long-term use without worrying about finish failure.
• Coordinated collection: The Velum Bath Collection offers matching faucets and shower components so the trim can be paired for a cohesive bathroom design.

Who It's For

The Delta Velum trim kit is ideal for homeowners renovating a shower who already have, or plan to install, Deltas MultiChoice Universal Rough Valve (recommended model R10000-UNBX) and want a modern Brushed Gold look with reliable pressure balance. It is also a good pick for plumbers and remodelers seeking an easy-to-install trim set that coordinates with other fixtures in the Velum collection.

This is not for someone expecting a complete valve assembly in the box; the rough-in valve is sold separately, so buyers who prefer an all-in-one package or who need a specific non-Delta valve should look elsewhere. Also, those who need multiple handle styles or a thermostatic valve rather than a pressure-balanced cartridge should consider different models.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Trim kit requires purchase of the MultiChoice Universal rough valve separately, adding cost and planning to the project.
