American Standard T353430.013 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the American Standard Townsend T353430 diverter trim kit include the valve?
No valve is included. The Townsend single-handle diverter trim kit is trim only (handle, escutcheon, and finish parts), sold LESS valve. You order the rough valve separately: it works with the R422 series or R433 series rough valves. If you are replacing only worn or damaged trim on an existing R422 or R433 rough-in, the trim kit alone is what you need. For new construction you have to buy both.
2) Which rough-in valve do I need behind a Townsend T353430 diverter trim?
The R422 series or the R433 series rough valve. Those are the two bodies this Townsend diverter trim is built to dress. Before you open the wall, pull the existing escutcheon and confirm which body is in there; if it is neither of those series, this trim will not land on it and you would be replacing the rough valve too.
3) Can I replace just the handle and plate on my Townsend shower without touching the plumbing?
Yes, provided the body in the wall is an R422 or R433 series rough valve. Because this is a trim-only kit, the swap happens entirely on the finished wall side: pull the old handle and escutcheon, fit the new ones, done. No pipe work, no wall opening, no re-solder. That is the usual repair path when the finish has pitted or the lever is loose but the valve still runs clean.
4) Is the Townsend diverter trim a volume control or does it actually switch outlets?
It is a diverter. The single metal lever redirects water between outlets, so it is what you use to send flow from a tub spout to a showerhead, or between a showerhead and a body spray or handshower in a multi-outlet shower. It is not the mixing valve and it does not set temperature; the pressure balance or thermostatic mixer is a separate trim on its own rough valve.
5) Will a solid brass diverter trim hold up in a hotel or apartment bathroom?
The Townsend diverter trim is made from solid brass and the handle is metal, not plastic, which is what matters in a rental or hospitality bath where the handle gets yanked hundreds of times a week. For a property manager standardizing across units, the practical move is picking one finish code and repeating it, since the same trim dresses either an R422 or R433 rough valve.
6) Is the Townsend T353430 a lever or a cross handle?
Lever. The Townsend diverter trim uses a single metal lever handle, which is the easier of the two to operate with a wet hand or a closed fist. Cross and knob styles are separate trim numbers in the line, so if the rest of the bathroom is on cross handles this one will not match visually even in the same finish.
