American Standard TU353501.013 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Standard Townsend TU353501 shower trim kit include the valve body, or do I need a rough-in valve too?
Trim only. The Townsend TU353501 kit gives you the showerhead, shower arm and flange, brass wall escutcheon and metal lever handle, and it is made for use with American Standard Flash shower rough-in valves. You have to order the rough-in valve separately, so on a new install budget for both lines.
2) Can I set a maximum hot water temperature on this Townsend shower valve trim for a rental or hotel bathroom?
Yes. The Townsend trim uses a double ceramic pressure balance cartridge with an adjustable hot limit safety stop, which caps how much hot water can mix with cold to reduce scald risk. That adjustment is made at the cartridge during trim-out, which is what property managers and hospitality maintenance teams usually want set once and left alone.
3) Will the shower temperature drop when a toilet is flushed elsewhere in the unit?
The ceramic balancing spool in the one-piece cartridge holds a constant output temperature when relative hot and cold supply pressures change, so a flush or a laundry draw should not spike or drop the shower. Ceramic is also unaffected by mineral deposits and hard water, which matters in multi-family buildings where scale kills lesser cartridges.
4) My hot and cold supplies are reversed at the rough-in. Can I still use this trim?
Yes. The Townsend TU353501 has back-to-back capability, so hot and cold can be reversed quickly at the valve rather than repiping the wall. That is the usual fix when the rough-in was set from the opposite side of a back-to-back bathroom pair.
5) What flow rate and showerhead size does the Townsend TU353501 shower trim come with?
A 6 inch (152 mm) rain-style showerhead rated at 2.5 gpm / 9.5 L/min maximum flow. If your jurisdiction or project spec caps showers at 1.8 or 2.0 gpm, this head as supplied will not meet it.
6) What finishes does the American Standard Townsend TU353501 shower trim come in?
Four: chrome (TU353501.002), polished nickel (TU353501.013), legacy bronze (TU353501.278) and brushed nickel (TU353501.295). The suffix is the finish code, so if you are matching other Townsend trim already in the building, order by the same three-digit suffix.
7) Does this Townsend trim kit prevent cross flow between hot and cold?
Integrated check valves are built in to eliminate cross flow, so you are not adding separate checks at the supplies. That is the detail plan reviewers and institutional plumbing specs usually look for on a pressure balance shower valve.
8) Is servicing this shower valve a whole-cartridge swap or a rebuild?
It is a one-piece cartridge, so maintenance is a single pull-and-replace rather than reassembling a mixing valve and balancing spool separately. For an MRO crew stocking spares across a building, that means one part number on the shelf instead of a kit of small pieces.
9) Can I use the Townsend TU353501 on a tub and shower combination?
The kit is listed for shower and tub applications, but as supplied it is a showerhead trim only. For a tub/shower you would need a diverter rough-in valve and a tub spout in the matching finish; the head, arm, flange, escutcheon and lever handle are what comes in this kit.
10) Is the handle on this Townsend shower trim metal or plastic?
Metal lever handle, with a brass wall escutcheon behind it. A lever is also the easier style to operate with a closed fist or forearm, which is why it gets specified in accessible and senior-housing units.
