American Standard M970649-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the American Standard M970649 deep rough-in kit actually do?
It's a depth extension kit for a pressure balance shower valve. When the valve body sits too far back in the wall for the trim screws to reach, this kit adds 3/4 inch (19 mm) of rough-in depth and supplies the longer hardware to bridge it: two 4 inch (102 mm) trim screws and a handle adaptor screw. It is not a valve and not a trim kit on its own.
2) My shower valve was set too deep in the wall and the trim won't reach. What do I need?
For an American Standard Flash rough-in with TU series pressure balance trim, the M970649 kit is the fix. It gains you 3/4 inch (19 mm) of depth and includes 4 inch (102 mm) screws so the trim plate and handle land correctly on a valve that sits back further than standard. That saves opening the wall to reset the valve body.
3) Do I have to match the finish of the deep rough-in kit to my shower trim?
Yes, and it's the one thing to get right when ordering. The kit comes in four finishes: Chrome (M970649-0020A), Brushed Nickel (M970649-2950A), Legacy Bronze (M970649-2780A), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (M970649-GN00A). Order the one that matches the TU series trim already going on the wall.
4) Does the American Standard M970649 kit include the screws, or do I need to buy longer screws separately?
The screws come with it. Two 4 inch (102 mm) screws for mounting the trim kit plus a handle adaptor screw are in the box. You supply nothing extra on the fastener side, but the kit does not include the valve, the trim, or the handle.
5) I'm standardizing shower valves across a building. Does the deep rough-in kit work across all the TU trim styles?
It covers all TU series pressure balance valve trim kits paired with Flash rough-in valves, so one part number handles the whole family across units. Stock it by finish rather than by trim style, since the finish is the only variable: Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Legacy Bronze, and Brushed Cool Sunrise.
