American Standard 8039502.295 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Somerville tub and shower kit include the rough-in valve body, or just the trim?
It's a trim kit: handle, escutcheon, and the ceramic disc valve cartridge. The in-wall rough-in valve body is a separate item, so on new construction you order the rough-in as well. On a replacement job where the American Standard rough-in is already in the wall, the trim is what you need.
2) Can I use this trim to replace just a worn cartridge in an existing American Standard shower valve?
It ships with the ceramic disc cartridge included, so a cartridge swap plus fresh trim is covered in one part. What it does not do is adapt to another maker's rough-in body; the trim and cartridge are matched to the American Standard valve they were built for, so identify the in-wall body before ordering.
3) What is the flow rate on the American Standard Somerville tub and shower trim kit?
The Somerville tub and shower trim rates at 1.8 gallons per minute, which is below the common 2.5 gpm showerhead baseline and helps on water-conserving specs for multi-family and hospitality retrofits.
4) Is this a washer-type or cartridge-type shower valve trim?
Washerless. The Somerville uses a ceramic disc cartridge, so there are no rubber washers to harden and weep. For a property manager standardizing across units, that's the difference between a recurring drip callback and a valve that stays quiet.
5) Is a single lever enough to run both the tub spout and the showerhead?
The Somerville trim uses one lever handle for temperature and volume; diverting between tub spout and shower is done at the tub spout diverter, which is standard on a tub and shower combination. The kit covers the valve trim itself, so the spout and showerhead are specified with it.
6) What finish does the Somerville tub and shower trim come in?
Brushed nickel, ordered as American Standard part number 8039502.295. The finish is manufactured into the faucet rather than applied as a coating, and it is tarnish, scratch and corrosion resistant, which matters in hard-water or high-turnover bathrooms.
