To sweat...or solder a Delta shower valve...the answer is simple....get a Symmons with pressure balancing cartridge.
I like Delta's faucets...most plumbers do...they're made smart...easy to maintain.
They're shower valves...just MY opinion...are flimsey, they tend to not last under heavy use (plastic parts inside)...I don't think they have any type of temperature control either, aside from a basic anti-scald.
Symmons makes their valves all brass, with built in balancing cartridges...also if you lose pressure on hot or cold it'll automatically balance it out...you won't get scalded..or frozen when the dishwasher kicks on.
Moen makes one too...but they cost an arm & a leg.
You'll be very surprized to see the price on a Symmons...I think Delta is the same or more.
