The Moen T2151BN is the Brushed Nickel shower valve trim from the Brantford collection — a handle-and-escutcheon-only kit that pairs with an existing Moen Posi-Temp rough-in valve. No showerhead or tub spout is included; this trim is intended for use when a separate showerhead is already installed or purchased independently. The Brantford collection's classic transitional styling suits traditional and transitional bath designs, and the Brushed Nickel finish is backed by Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
What valve is required for the Moen T2151BN, and is it included?
The T2151BN requires a Moen Posi-Temp pressure-balancing rough-in valve, such as model #2510 (without stops) or #2520 (with stops). The valve is not included and must be installed in the wall before this trim kit is fitted.
Does the T2151BN include a showerhead or tub spout?
No. The T2151BN is a valve trim only — it includes the Brushed Nickel lever handle and escutcheon plate but no showerhead or tub spout. A compatible Moen showerhead must be purchased separately if one is needed.
What is the maximum flow rate when using the T2151BN trim?
The Posi-Temp valve and T2151BN trim support up to 2.5 GPM. The actual flow rate delivered to the showerhead depends on which showerhead is paired with this trim kit.
Is the Brushed Nickel finish on the T2151BN resistant to tarnishing?
Yes. Moen's Brushed Nickel finish resists corrosion and tarnishing in wet environments and is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty against finish defects under normal residential use.
Can I upgrade to Oil-Rubbed Bronze if I want a darker finish?
Yes. The T2151ORB is the Oil-Rubbed Bronze variant of this same valve trim and fits the same Posi-Temp rough-in valve. Both finishes are covered by Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
