About the American Standard Studio S Pressure Balance Valve Trim with Double Ceramic Cartridge, ADA, Polished Chrome - TU105500.002
Your Perfect Shower, No Temperature Surprises.
The moment you reach for the handle of the American Standard TU105500.002 pressure balance valve trim, you're met with the satisfying, smooth motion of refined engineering wrapped in sleek, modern design. Its round silhouette and sophisticated polished chrome finish instantly anchor your bathroom in a sense of luxury, bold, minimal, and undeniably stylish. Whether you're stepping into a brisk morning rinse or winding down with a warm, relaxing soak, the clean lines and solid feel set the tone for a spa-like experience every single day.
But this trim is more than just a pretty face. At its core is American Standard’s innovative double ceramic pressure balance cartridge, a single one-piece component that blends simplicity with serious performance. Inside, the ceramic disc mixing valve delivers flawless, drip-free operation, while the ceramic balancing spool keeps your water temperature consistent, even if someone flushes or runs a tap elsewhere in the house. It’s peace of mind built right in, made even more reassuring by the cartridge’s resistance to mineral buildup and harsh water conditions.
You’ll also appreciate the built-in adjustable hot limit safety stop, which allows you to limit how hot the water can get—ideal for families with young kids or elderly members who need that extra layer of protection. Integrated check valves prevent any risk of cross-flow, and the Comfort Zone design gives you a wider, more precise temperature control range to find that just-right balance. The ADA-certified lever handle makes operation easy and accessible for everyone, combining functionality with timeless design.
Installation is straightforward thanks to back-to-back capability and a one-piece cartridge that simplifies both setup and future maintenance. The TU105500.002 valve trim from American Standard is a statement piece and a performance powerhouse all in one. Whether you’re remodeling or upgrading your existing setup, this trim brings modern style, safe comfort, and lasting reliability into your space. Complete your shower transformation—choose a fixture that looks as good as it performs.
