About this collection

Riobel Paradox

Paradox is the largest Riobel collection we carry, at 39 pieces. Riobel describes it as clean, straight lines — streamlined to a T — and that is literally the shape: a flat horizontal spout meeting a vertical body at a right angle.

It is the most complete collection in the range. Lavatory faucets, showers, tub fillers and matching accessories all exist, so an entire bathroom can be specified without leaving it.

The one choice to make first: round or square plates

Almost every Paradox shower piece comes in two versions, and the code tells you which:

  • TM — round escutcheon plate
  • TQ — square escutcheon plate

So TPXTM51 and TPXTQ51 are the same valve trim with a round or a square plate behind it. The tub spouts follow the same logic (PXTM80 and PXTQ80). Pick one and stay with it — a round plate on the shower and a square one on the tub filler in the same room is the kind of thing that looks like an ordering mistake.

What is in the collection
Which valve each Paradox trim needs
  • TPXTM51 / TPXTQ51 → R51 — one shower head
  • TPXTM23 / TPXTQ23 and TPXTM44 / TPXTQ44 → R23 — up to three functions
  • TPXTM45 / TPXTQ45 and TPXTM47 / TPXTQ47 → R45 — up to five

Share runs more than one outlet at once; No Share sends water to one at a time. See Riobel Shower Valves & Rough-Ins.

Finishes

Paradox is offered in Chrome (C), Black (BK) and Brushed Gold (BG). All three carry Riobel's limited lifetime warranty.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between TM and TQ on a Paradox code?
The shape of the plate behind the handle. TM is round, TQ is square. Same valve, same function — keep one shape throughout a room.

Which rough-in valve does a Paradox shower kit need?
Read the number in the trim code: 51 takes an R51, 23 and 44 take an R23, 45 and 47 take an R45. Kits sold “with rough-in valve” already include it.

Does Paradox have matching towel bars?
Yes — robe hook, toilet paper holder, single and double 24" towel bars, and a towel ring, all in the same design.

Is Paradox available in gold?
Yes, Brushed Gold (BG), alongside Chrome and Black.
