House of Rohl Authentica™ 1/2″ Pressure Balance Trim, Available Finishes – TAU51

Simple temperature and volume control makes the House of Rohl Authentica™ 1/2″ Pressure Balance Trim a practical choice for shower installations that call for straightforward operation. Its single control mechanism combines temperature and volume adjustment, while solid brass construction provides a durable foundation for everyday bathroom use.

Simple Temperature and Volume Control

The Authentica™ pressure balance trim uses one control mechanism for managing both temperature and water volume. This consolidated arrangement keeps operation uncomplicated and provides a clean control point within the shower area.

The trim can operate either a standalone showerhead or a showerhead and tub spout when the tub spout has an integrated diverter. This makes the control suitable for different bathroom configurations while keeping the installation requirements tied to the selected plumbing arrangement.

Solid Brass Construction

Solid brass construction gives the trim a substantial and durable structure for regular use. Beyond its functional role, the material supports the refined appearance of the control and provides a suitable foundation for the available finish options.

The cartridge is included with the trim, and all necessary mounting hardware is supplied. These included components provide the key trim hardware needed for the installation, while the required rough-in valve must be purchased separately.

R51 Pressure Balance Rough-In Valve

The Authentica™ TAU51 requires a House of Rohl® R51 pressure balance rough-in valve, which is sold separately. The rough-in valve should therefore be included when planning the complete shower installation.

The House of Rohl® R51 rough-in valve supports a flow rate of 5.8 GPM / 21.9 LPM at 60 PSI. This specified flow capacity supports the intended showering configuration and helps customers plan the appropriate components for their bathroom project.

CEC Compliance

CEC compliance is another specified feature of the TAU51. For Canadian customers planning a bathroom renovation or new installation, this provides an important product detail to consider when reviewing the trim’s specifications.

Finish Options

The TAU51 is available in four finishes: Black, Brushed Nickel, Chrome, and Polished Nickel. Having multiple finish choices makes it easier to coordinate the pressure balance trim with other selected bathroom fixtures and hardware.
