Review on πŸ’§ Efficient and Versatile: American Standard RU101SS Flash Shower Rough-in Valve with Universal Inlets and Outlets and Convenient Screwdriver Stops (Unfinished) by Todd Raynie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This rule applies to crimping Pex, not cold stretching Pex. Excellent quality product

Revain's description says this version of RU107ESS is for PEX cold expansion, which is incorrect - US standard website ru107ess is for PEX crimp system. Excellent quality product - used with a set TU385500.002 (pipe and valve). The handle of the trim kit feels like solid brass and when you turn the valve it's very smooth. I started using American Standard in most of my projects - it seems to be one of the few manufacturers that still make products that convey a sense of quality. PS If you are looking for a basin mixer I have been using the American Standard 7385.000.002 Reliant as a basin mixer for years - another great quality product - the drain is different to most and uses a cable system which works well for me and is quick to install in new installations.

Pros
  • Cast brass valve body: robust. Ideal material for long-term water contact
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
