American Standard TU385500.002 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Standard Reliant 3 TU385500 trim kit include the shower valve body?
No. TU385500 is valve-only trim, meaning the escutcheon, lever handle, and the double ceramic pressure balance cartridge. You still need a rough-in valve behind the wall. American Standard specifies it for use with their Flash shower rough-in valves, so if that body is not already in the wall, order it separately before the finish work.
2) Will this trim kit stop the shower from going cold when someone flushes a toilet?
That is what the pressure balance cartridge in the TU385500 is for. The ceramic balancing spool holds a constant outlet temperature when hot or cold supply pressure shifts, so a flush or a laundry draw elsewhere in the building does not spike or drop the shower. Ceramic is not affected by mineral deposits, which matters on hard water.
3) Do I need a separate cartridge when I order this Reliant 3 trim kit?
No. The double ceramic pressure balance cartridge ships as part of the TU385500 kit, a one-piece unit combining the ceramic disc mixing valve and the ceramic balancing spool. One piece in, one piece out at service time, which is a real time saver for MRO crews. Integrated check valves are included to prevent cross flow between hot and cold.
4) Can the Reliant 3 valve trim be used on a tub and shower, or shower only?
Both. The Reliant 3 TU385500 trim is catalogued for shower and tub use. Keep in mind it controls the valve only, so whether you get a tub spout, a showerhead, or both is determined by the rough-in valve and the outlets piped behind the wall, not by this trim.
5) What finishes does the American Standard TU385500 Reliant 3 trim come in?
Two: polished chrome (TU385500.002) and brushed nickel (TU385500.295). The suffix after the dot is the finish code, so match it to the rest of the bath trim if you are standardizing a unit or a floor of units.
6) Can the hot and cold be reversed on the Reliant 3 trim for a back-to-back bathroom install?
Yes. Back-to-back capability is built in, so hot and cold can be swapped quickly. That covers the common apartment layout where two bathrooms share a wall and one valve ends up plumbed mirrored.
7) How do I limit the maximum hot water temperature at this American Standard shower valve?
The TU385500 cartridge has an adjustable hot limit safety stop that caps how much hot water can mix in, which is the usual scald-risk control for senior housing, hotels, and family units. It is set during trim-out and can be readjusted seasonally if incoming hot temperature changes.
8) Is the handle on this American Standard trim metal or plastic?
Metal. Both the lever handle and the wall escutcheon on the TU385500 are metal, not plated plastic, which holds up better in high-turnover rentals and hospitality baths where handles get yanked. A lever also gives you easier one-hand operation than a knob.
9) Why does the American Standard Reliant 3 valve have a wider comfort range than a standard mixer?
The Comfort Zone feature widens the portion of handle rotation spent in the usable temperature band, so small handle moves give finer control instead of jumping from warm to scalding. Combined with the ceramic disc mixing valve, handle operation stays smooth and drip-free over the life of the cartridge.
