American Standard Delancey Bathtub Faucet With Lever Handles for Flash Rough-In Valve - AMS-T052900

No personal shower is included. The T052900 is specified LESS personal shower, so what you get is the tub spout and lever handle trim. If the job calls for a handshower at the tub, that is a separate item and separate rough-in provision.

Yes, if the existing rough-in is an American Standard Flash valve. Because the T052900 is trim only, swapping to a different finish (say chrome out, brushed nickel T052900.295 in) is a trim change at the wall with the valve body left in place. If the wall carries a rough valve from another maker or another American Standard family, this trim does not go on it.

Four finishes, and each is its own part number: chrome (T052900.002), polished nickel (T052900.013), brushed nickel (T052900.295), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (T052900.GN0). For a property manager matching a run of bathrooms, order by the suffix, not the finish name, since chrome and polished nickel read very differently in a photo but are easy to confuse on a PO.

This is a tub-filler trim, not a tub/shower diverter set. It has no personal shower and no diverter listed, so it suits a soaking tub or a deck-free wall-mounted tub application fed off a Flash rough valve. For a tub and showerhead on one valve, you need a trim kit with a diverter function instead.

Brass construction throughout the trim, which is what you want for a part in constant contact with water. That matters most on rental and hospitality turns, where plastic-bodied trim tends to come back as a callback well before the finish gives out.

A ceramic disc valve cartridge handles the mixing. Ceramic disc is the standard for drip-free service life in commercial and multifamily work, and it is the reason this trim family holds up better than a compression-washer setup on a high-traffic bathroom.

The T052900 uses lever handles, which are operable with a closed fist or a forearm rather than a pinch-and-twist grip. That is the handle style specifiers reach for in senior housing and accessible units, and it is a common reason a knob-handle trim gets swapped out on a turn.
