American Standard M922887-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the American Standard M922887 vandal-resistant aerator, and will it screw onto my faucet spout?
It has 15/16 inch male threads, which is the standard male thread on most residential and commercial lavatory spouts. Male thread means the aerator threads go on the outside, so your spout needs a female opening. If your spout has external threads instead, you need a female-threaded aerator, not this one.
2) What does pressure-compensating mean on a 1.5 gpm aerator, and will flow drop off on upper floors?
A pressure-compensating aerator holds the flow near its rated 1.5 gpm (5.7 L/min) across a range of supply pressures instead of gushing on a high-pressure line and dribbling on a low one. That is the behavior a property manager wants across a multi-story building where line pressure varies floor to floor, so fixtures feel consistent without rebalancing.
3) Why would I use a vandal-resistant aerator with a key instead of a standard screw-in one?
Standard aerators unscrew by hand or with pliers, which is why they disappear from public and semi-public restrooms. This one takes a key to remove, so it stays in the spout. That is the reason it gets specified in schools, government buildings, hospitality, and multi-family common-area restrooms. Each aerator ships with its key.
4) Can I use this aerator to bring existing 2.2 gpm lavatory faucets down to a low-flow rate?
Yes, that is a common use. Swapping in a 1.5 gpm (5.7 L/min) aerator cuts the flow at the spout without replacing the faucet, as long as the spout takes a 15/16 inch male-thread aerator. It is a low-cost way to reduce water use on a whole floor of lavatories during a retrofit.
5) What finishes does the American Standard M922887 aerator come in?
Two: polished chrome (M922887-0020A) and brushed nickel (M922887-2950A). Match the finish to the faucet body, since the aerator face is visible at the spout tip. If you are standardizing a floor of restrooms, order one finish across all of them.
6) Do I need any special tool to install the M922887 aerator?
The key that comes with it is the tool. Thread the aerator into the spout, then seat and tighten it with the supplied key. Keep the key on the maintenance ring, because without it the aerator cannot be pulled later for cleaning or descaling.
7) Is this aerator only for bathroom sinks or can it go on a kitchen faucet?
It is specified for faucet use and rated at 1.5 gpm, which is a lavatory flow rate. That is fine on a hand-wash sink but slow for filling pots at a kitchen sink, where 1.8 to 2.2 gpm is more typical. For public restroom lavatories it is the right rate.
