American Standard T184500.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the American Standard Times Square T184500 trim kit include the valve body?
No. The Times Square T184500 is trim only, listed as LESS Valve, so you get the lever handle and brass wall escutcheon but no rough-in valve body. If the wall is open or you are starting new, you need to order a separate pressure balancing rough valve to go behind it.
2) What rough-in depth range does the Times Square valve trim cover?
The escutcheon and handle cover a rough-in range of 1-5/8 inch to 3-1/4 inch, measured from the finished wall to the valve. That range is wide enough to handle most thin-wall and tiled-wall setups without a deep extension kit.
3) Is the Times Square T184500 a pressure balancing shower valve trim or a thermostatic one?
Pressure balancing. The cartridge holds output temperature steady when hot or cold supply pressure changes, and the diaphragm design resists cross flow and mineral buildup in hard water. It is not a thermostatic valve, so it reacts to pressure swings rather than holding a set temperature dial.
4) Can I limit how hot the water gets for a hotel or multi-family bathroom?
Yes. The valve trim works with an adjustable hot limit safety stop that caps how much hot water can mix with cold, which is the usual way to reduce scald risk in guest rooms and apartments. It is set at the valve during trim-out.
5) My bathroom has the hot and cold reversed. Can this valve be corrected?
It can. The Times Square pressure balancing system has back-to-back capability, so hot and cold can be reversed at the cartridge quickly without repiping. That is common on back-to-back bathroom stacks in apartments.
6) Can the rough valve be pressure tested before the finished trim goes on?
Yes. The plaster guard is a two piece design, so the valve can be tested and the wall closed up while the guard protects the valve and doubles as a mounting plate for thin-wall installs. The chrome escutcheon and lever handle go on last, after tile and paint.
7) What finish does the American Standard T184500 valve trim come in?
Chrome, ordered as part number T184500.002. Only the one finish is offered on this trim kit, so if you are matching a group of baths to another finish you will need a different Times Square trim number.
8) What kind of handle comes with the Times Square T184500 trim kit?
A single lever handle, which operates both temperature and volume through the ceramic disc cartridge. One handle, one motion, which is what most commercial and multi-family specs call for over two-handle trim.
