American Standard Aspirations 2-Handle 2 or 3 Way Shower Diverter Trim with Discrete Cartridge - AMS-TU061740

No. TU061740 is trim only. You also need the American Standard Flash Rough-in Integrated Shower Diverter Valve RU520 with 2 or 3 way discrete capability, which is sold separately. The trim kit itself does include the discrete diverter valve and the pressure balance cartridge M970787-0070A, so budget for the trim plus the RU520 rough-in to finish the job.

It handles either two or three outlets, depending on how the rough-in is set up. The bottom lever turns the water on and sets temperature; the top lever diverts flow to the outlet you want. For three outlets the RU520 rough-in has to be the 2 or 3 way discrete version.

Three: polished chrome (TU061740.002), matte black (TU061740.243), and brushed nickel (TU061740.295). Order by that suffix so the trim matches the other Aspirations pieces on the wall.

Yes. The Aspirations TU061740 uses a double ceramic pressure balance cartridge, so outlet temperature holds when hot or cold supply pressure changes, for example a flush on the same line. That is the behavior property managers want in multi-family bathrooms.

It is rated for shower and tub use. With the diverter you can feed a tub spout on one outlet and a shower head on another, controlled by the top lever.

It uses the American Standard double ceramic pressure balance cartridge M970787-0070A, which ships with a new trim kit. Order that part number for a service replacement rather than swapping the whole trim.

All metal. The TU061740 trim kit is metal construction, levers and escutcheon included, which is what holds up in rental and hospitality bathrooms where the handles get pulled on daily.
