Do not infer
TU075500.243 matte-black trim
Not compatible with R116SS.
American Standard directly answered no, and the product listing limits this trim to Flash rough-ins RU101, RU102 and RU101SS.
Evidence note C082 · United States
Does current American Standard matte-black trim fit R116SS?
A current-looking Flash/TU trim can share the brand and finish while still using the wrong rough-in valve. The valve code decides.
Direct answer
No current compatible trim was identified for R116SS as of 2026-08-28.
American Standard’s Consumer Connection Team answered on 2026-05-05 that matte-black TU075500.243 does not fit the R116SS shower valve and that the company no longer makes an R116SS-compatible trim kit. The listing itself says TU075500.243 is for Flash rough-in valves RU101, RU102 and RU101SS—not R116SS.
Decision map
What the identifiers actually prove
Family resemblance is not compatibility evidence. Each row stops exactly where the cited source stops.
Do not infer
Other current Flash or TU trim
Do not infer a direct fit from brand or finish.
The manufacturer says it no longer makes a trim kit compatible with R116SS.
Verify first
Existing R116SS repair parts
Ask American Standard to identify any remaining service options.
No current decorative trim path was verified here; repair-part availability and a full valve replacement are separate decisions.
Before buying
Run these checks in order.
- 01
Confirm the rough-in valve marking is R116SS—not RU101SS, which is a different current Flash valve identifier.
- 02
Do not order TU075500.243 or another current Flash/TU trim as a direct-fit R116SS replacement.
- 03
Ask American Standard whether any service parts remain for the installed valve and document the exact valve marking.
- 04
If a new finish is required, have a qualified installer assess full rough-in replacement rather than forcing mismatched trim.

What this page does not prove
This answer is time-sensitive and records the manufacturer’s position visible on 2026-08-28. A future adapter or service program could change it. It does not assess the condition of an installed valve or provide demolition, waterproofing or anti-scald instructions.
