American Standard R110 - Manual

American Standard R110

This user manual covers American Standard’s R110 series of pressure-balance bath/shower temperature control valves, focusing on their design, compatibility options, and key specifications. The documentation highlights valve body types, trim kits (including finishes like polished chrome or satin nickel), rough-in dimensions for installation, and compliance with industry standards such as ASSE 11016 and ASME A112.18.1. It also emphasizes the importance of selecting matching trim styles–such as Colony, Tropic, or Hampton–for seamless integration with valve bodies like R110 or R115SS.

PRODUCT FEATURES:

Cast Brass Valve Body:

Durable - Quality that will last a

lifetime. Ideal material for prolonged contact with water.

Ceramic Disc Valve Cartridge:

Assures a lifetime of

drip-free performance. Allows easy fine tuning of temperature
(125˚handle rotation from off to hot).

Pressure Balancing Valve Cartridge:

Maintains constant

output temperature in response to changes in hot and cold
supply pressure. Diaphragm system engineered to eliminate
cross flow. Avoids failure due to mineral deposits - ideal for use
in hard water

Back-to-Back Capability:

Hot and cold can be reversed

quickly and easily.

Adjustable Hot Limit Safety Stop:

Limits the amount of

hot water allowed to mix with cold. Reduces the risk of
accidental scalding.

Exclusive Plaster Guard:

Plaster guard is designed to

protect valve during installation and serve as a mounting plate
for thin-wall installations. 2 piece design allows valve to be
tested prior to trim installation.

Wide Rough-in Range:

From 1-5/8" to 3-1/4".

SUGGESTED SPECIFICATION:

Bath/shower fitting shall feature a cast brass body. Shall feature ceramic disc valve cartridge which is capable of back-to-back

installation. Fitting shall be equipped with pressure balancing cartridge engineered to eliminate cross flow and avoid failure due to

mineral deposits. Shall also feature hot limit safety stop. Fitting shall be: Rough Valve Body - American Standard Model #

R11____, Trim Kit - American Standard Model # ____.____.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Cast brass body, washerless ceramic disc valve cartridge
with back-to-back capability and hot limit safety stop. Cycles
from "off" to "cold" to "hot". Pressure balancing cartridge
maintains constant output temperature in response to
changes in relative hot and cold supply pressure. One-half
inch inlets and outlets (choice of direct sweat, threaded, or
PEX). Available with screwdriver stops. Rough-in plaster
guard designed for use as thin-wall mounting adaptor. Valve
body will accept a variety of decorative Bath/Shower trims.
