American Standard Edgemere 2.5 GPM Tub and Shower Trim Kit with Lever Handle - AMS-T018502

Edgemere T018502 is a trim kit, meaning the visible parts: lever handle, escutcheon, tub spout and showerhead. It coordinates with American Standard's TRIMendous Shower Platform, so the in-wall rough-in valve from that platform is what it mounts to and has to be ordered as its own item. If you're roughing in new construction, spec the valve first and the trim second.

Yes, ADA compliant, and the lever handle is the reason: a lever operates with a closed fist and no tight grasping or twisting, which is what the accessibility requirement is about. That makes it usable on hotel, healthcare, education and multi-family openings where accessible units are part of the count.

2.5 gallons per minute maximum at the showerhead. That is the standard federal maximum, so it meets a plain code requirement but will not satisfy a project written to a reduced flow target such as 2.0 or 1.8 GPM. On jurisdictions or green programs calling for low-flow, you would need a lower-rated showerhead.

It includes a Hot Limit Safety Stop, an adjustable stop that caps how far the lever can travel toward hot. You set it at install to match the building's water heater temperature, which matters most in hotels, senior housing and student housing where the same setting gets rolled across every unit.

Brushed nickel, ordered as T018502.295. If you're matching existing fixtures across a property, that .295 suffix is American Standard's brushed nickel code and it's the one to hold on future orders so the units stay consistent.

All metal construction throughout the trim. For property managers turning units, that matters at the handle and escutcheon, where plastic trim is what cracks first under daily tenant use and rough cleaning.
