American Standard RU107SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the American Standard Flash RU107SS shower rough-in valve come with the cartridge and trim?
No. The RU107SS ships as the valve body only, with screwdriver stops and a flush plug installed. The cartridge comes packed with the trim kit, so you have to order the Flash trim separately to finish the shower. That is deliberate on this design: you rough in and pressure test the wall without ever exposing a cartridge to debris.
2) What pipe connections does the Flash RU107SS rough-in valve take?
Inlets are 1/2 inch PEX crimp, made to ASTM F1807, so they go straight onto PEX with a crimp ring and no adaptors. The outlets are universal. If your supply runs are copper, you will need to transition to PEX or pick a copper sweat version of the Flash valve instead.
3) How deep can the wall be for a Flash shower valve rough-in?
The rough-in range runs 1-3/4 inch to 2-3/4 inch measured from the finished wall surface to the back of the valve. That one inch of play covers most stud-and-backer assemblies, tile over cement board included. The plaster guard doubles as a depth gauge while you set it, and on thin-wall installs it can carry the mounting support itself.
4) Can I pressure test the line before the shower trim goes on?
Yes, that is what the flush plug is for. It stays in place of the cartridge so you can flush the lines without cross flow between hot and cold, and you can test at 200 psi with air or 300 psi with water. No need to install and then pull a cartridge just to test.
5) I piped the hot and cold backwards. Do I have to re-pipe the wall?
No. The Flash valve body has back-to-back capability, so hot and cold can be reversed at the valve quickly rather than re-running supplies. That is the same feature that lets you use one valve on back-to-back bathrooms sharing a wall where the supply orientation flips.
6) Can I shut off water at the shower valve for service, or do I have to kill the whole riser?
The RU107SS includes integral screwdriver stops, so a maintenance tech isolates hot and cold right at the valve behind the escutcheon and services or swaps the cartridge without shutting down the branch or the building riser. For multi-family and hotel work that is the reason to spec the SS version over a stopless body.
7) Is this shower valve body OK for aggressive municipal water?
The body is cast DZR brass, dezincification resistant, chosen to hold up to high chloride and high pH water. The test cap and cartridge are held by a stainless steel retaining ring rather than screws, so the retention hardware in the wet area does not rust up either.
8) How does the Flash valve mount to the framing?
It has a flat back, so it sits flush against a cross brace between studs and screws up solid without shimming or strapping it off round stock. The plaster guard protects the valve through drywall, mud and tile work and guides the depth setting at the same time.
9) What is the exact part number to order this American Standard rough-in valve?
American Standard part number RU107SS, the Flash shower rough-in valve with 1/2 inch PEX crimp inlets, universal outlets and screwdriver stops. The SS suffix is the one that carries the stops; specify it if you want service shutoffs at the valve.
