American Standard Colony PRO Shower Trim Kit Less Showerhead, Double Ceramic Pressure Balance Cartridge With Lever Handle - AMS-TU075507XH

No. TU075507XH is trim only, and it is built for use with American Standard Flash shower rough-in valves. You get the wall escutcheon with red/blue indicators, the metal lever handle, and a shower arm and flange. If there is no Flash rough-in valve already in the wall, order one separately or this kit has nothing to mount to.

No showerhead comes with it. The kit supplies the shower arm and flange, so you thread on whatever head the job or the spec calls for. That is the point of a less-showerhead trim kit: hotels, apartments, and institutional jobs that standardize on a specific flow-rate head buy the trim and the head separately.

It runs a double ceramic pressure balance cartridge, which holds output temperature steady when hot or cold supply pressure changes, plus an adjustable hot limit safety stop that caps how much hot water can mix in. On occupied properties, set the hot limit stop at commissioning and again after any water heater temperature change.

The Colony PRO TU075507XH trim is catalogued for shower and tub applications, but as supplied it has one lever handle, an escutcheon, and a shower arm with flange. There is no tub spout in the kit, so for a tub/shower combination you add a spout to suit the rough-in valve's spout outlet.

You do not have to re-pipe. The Colony PRO cartridge has back-to-back capability, so hot and cold can be reversed quickly during install. That is common on back-to-back bathroom stacks in apartments and hotels where one valve ends up mirrored.

One piece. The ceramic disc mixing valve and the ceramic balancing spool are combined into a single cartridge, so a maintenance tech pulls and replaces one part rather than staging separate mixing and balancing components. The ceramic is unaffected by mineral deposits and hard water, which is the main reason it holds temperature over time in buildings with aggressive water.

Integrated check valves are built in specifically to eliminate cross flow, so hot will not migrate into the cold line through the valve. That matters where a single shower feeds off a shared riser and residents complain about warm water at the cold tap.

Chrome, ordered as TU075507XH.002. It is the single finish offered on this trim, which makes it a straightforward match for multi-family and commercial baths already running chrome shower valves and tub spouts.

Metal lever handle. A lever is easier to operate with a closed fist or forearm than a knob style handle, which is why lever trim is the usual choice on multi-family and healthcare shower renovations.
