Paradox™ PXTM44 1/2″ Thermostatic & Pressure Balance Shower Valve Trim – 2 Functions PXTM44

Product Overview

Achieving a clean, uncluttered visual aesthetic in a modern shower enclosure often comes down to valve selection. The House of Rohl Paradox™ 1/2″ Thermostatic & Pressure Balance Trim unites daily convenience and precise water management into a single refined wall-mounted fixture. Designed to centralise your shower control without requiring extra shut-off or diverter valves on your tile wall, this trim kit establishes a minimalist aesthetic while maintaining high-performance fluid control.

Key Features & Engineering

At the heart of the Paradox PXTM44 design is an integrated set-and-forget temperature memory system. Once you dial in your desired heat level, the valve maintains your exact thermal preference trip after trip, saving time and eliminating uncomfortable thermal spikes.

Crafted with high-grade solid brass construction, the trim is engineered to withstand daily exposure to moisture while keeping its mechanical integrity intact. Inside the box, the required cartridge and essential mounting hardware are supplied directly with the trim, minimizing downtime during installation.

Functionality & Performance

This trim operates two independent functions, running either a dedicated showerhead or a secondary handshower separately. Because it is engineered for single-source operation with no shared or simultaneous functionality, full water pressure is always directed straight to your chosen outlet.

When paired with the required House of Rohl® R23 thermostatic and pressure balance rough-in valve (sold separately), the assembly supports an impressive flow rate of up to 6.3 GPM (24.9 LPM) at 60 PSI. This strong volume output guarantees a rich, fully saturated water flow for your daily routine. Furthermore, the trim meets CEC compliance guidelines, satisfying strict efficiency standards without compromising performance.

Design & Available Finishes

Architectural symmetry and minimalist handles allow the Paradox collection to fit smoothly into contemporary, transitional, or urban modern bathroom designs. To match your surrounding bathroom hardware and plumbing fixtures, the trim is available in three distinct, resilient finishes:

• Chrome: Highlights classic reflective brilliance that pairs effortlessly with crisp white tiles and standard hardware.

• Black: Creates a striking, high-contrast focal point against natural stone, porcelain, or light background surfaces.

• Brushed Gold: Offers warm metallic tones that bring visual richness to custom vanities and modern tile work.

Ideal Applications

The Paradox PXTM44 valve trim is ideal for homeowners, designers, and contractors building or renovating custom residential bathrooms. It is specifically tailored for shower configurations that pair a primary overhead showerhead with an auxiliary handheld spray wand. By combining thermostatic regulation, pressure balance safety, and diverter functions behind one clean faceplate, it minimizes wall cuts and decorative escutcheon clutter in walk-in showers and main bath suites.
