American Standard Chatfield 2.0 GPM Tub and Shower Trim Kit With 3-Function Showerhead, Ceramic Disc Valve Cartridge With Lever Handle - AMS-7413502

Chatfield 7413502 is a trim kit: showerhead, tub spout, lever handle and escutcheon, plus the ceramic disc valve cartridge. A trim kit dresses out a valve body that is already in the wall, so on new construction you order the rough-in valve separately and set it during framing. On a replacement job where the existing pressure balance rough-in stays put, the trim is what you are buying.

It flows 2.0 gpm and is WaterSense certified, which is 20 percent below the 2.2 gpm standard flow. That is the number specifiers and utility rebate programs look for on a fixture-swap water program, and it is why this trim gets picked for whole-property showerhead replacements rather than a standard 2.5 gpm head.

Yes, the Chatfield 7413502 trim is ADA compliant, and the lever handle is the reason: a lever operates with a closed fist, no tight grasping, pinching or twisting. That matters on accessible units in multi-family, healthcare and hospitality where a cross or knob handle would fail inspection. It also meets cUPC requirements, so it is acceptable under the Uniform Plumbing Code in the US and Canada.

It uses an anti-scald pressure balance valve, which compensates when a toilet flushes or a washer fills and the cold side drops. The outlet temperature holds instead of spiking. Pressure balance reacts to pressure change; if the spec calls for thermostatic control with a separate temperature dial and volume control, that is a different valve type and this is not it.

No. This is the tub and shower configuration, so it comes with a tub spout as part of the kit and the valve is set up for diverting between spout and head. For a shower-only stall you want the shower-only trim, which has no spout outlet. Installing a tub and shower trim on a shower-only rough-in leaves you with a capped or unused spout port.

The cartridge is a washerless ceramic disc type. There is no rubber washer to harden and cut, which is the usual cause of a dripping tub valve and the usual reason a maintenance tech is back in the unit. American Standard rates it as maintenance free for drip free performance. For a property manager running dozens of identical baths, that is the argument for standardizing on one valve across the building.

Three: conventional full spray, massage, and a combination of the two. The head is a large-diameter multi-function type, so tenants get the massage setting without a separate handheld or a second drop. On a fleet renovation that is one less SKU to stock and one less connection to leak.
