American Standard Delancey Bathtub Faucet With Lever Handles and Personal Shower for Flash Rough-In Valve - AMS-T052901

The T052901 is trim only. It's built for American Standard's Flash rough-in valve, which is a separate order. Plan the job as two line items: the Flash rough valve goes in at rough-in stage, and the Delancey trim, lever handles and personal shower go on at finish. If the wall already has a different brand's rough valve in it, this trim isn't the part to buy.

The personal shower is part of the T052901 trim kit, so the handheld and its lever-handle tub filler come together. That matters on a tub-only bathroom where there's no shower head above: this gives you a handheld for bathing and cleaning the tub without adding a diverter spout or a separate wall bracket order.

Not as a straight swap. The T052901 is trim for a Flash rough-in valve, so it mounts to that valve body in the wall. Pulling old two-handle tub trim off and putting this on won't work unless the Flash rough valve is what's behind the wall. On a retrofit, budget for opening the wall and setting the Flash rough valve first, then trimming out with this kit.

Four: chrome (T052901.002), polished nickel (T052901.013), brushed nickel (T052901.295), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (T052901.GN0). For a property manager standardizing across units, chrome and brushed nickel are the two that will sit closest to typical existing bath hardware; Brushed Cool Sunrise is a warm brushed tone and won't blend with a nickel or chrome bathroom. Order by the full suffix, since the base number is identical across all four.

Brass construction. That's the reason it holds up in a rental or hospitality bath where the trim sits wet for years, and it's the difference a maintenance buyer is usually paying for over a zinc or plastic-bodied filler. Control is a ceramic disc cartridge rather than a rubber washer stem, so it isn't a faucet you'll be re-seating and re-washering on a service call.

Two decisions. Finish, chosen from chrome, polished nickel, brushed nickel or Brushed Cool Sunrise, which sets the suffix on the T052901 part number. And the matching Flash rough-in valve, one per opening, ordered separately since the trim doesn't carry it. Get the rough valve count right at the front of the job, because the trim is useless to the installer if the rough isn't already in the wall.

Lever handles are what the T052901 uses, and a lever is operable with a closed fist or forearm where a round knob needs a grip and a twist. For senior living, healthcare and multi-family units where you're specifying for limited hand strength, that's the practical reason to pick this trim over a cross or knob handle. Pairing it with the included handheld shower covers seated bathing in the same fixture.
