American Standard 1660103.243 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard 1660103 ceiling mount shower arm thread onto my existing 1/2-inch shower rough-in?
Yes. The 1660103 ceiling mount rain shower arm uses a 1/2-inch NPT thread, which is the standard supply connection for shower drops, so it threads directly onto 1/2-inch NPT stub-out at the ceiling. The showerhead end takes a head with the same 1/2-inch NPT connection.
2) Does the showerhead come with this arm?
No. The 1660103 is the ceiling mount arm and flange only. The rain showerhead is ordered separately, and it needs a 1/2-inch NPT inlet to thread onto this arm.
3) How far does the American Standard 1660103 ceiling shower arm drop below the ceiling?
American Standard lists it as a 3-inch ceiling mount arm, with overall packaged dimensions of 7.244 x 5.157 x 2.874 inches. It is a short drop meant to place a rain head close to the ceiling plane, not an extended arm for lowering the head well below a high ceiling.
4) What finishes does the American Standard 1660103 ceiling shower arm come in, so I can match the rest of the trim?
Five finishes: Chrome (1660103.002), Polished Nickel (1660103.013), Matte Black (1660103.243), Brushed Nickel (1660103.295), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (1660103.GN0). The suffix on the part number is the finish code, which is how you match it to a valve trim or rain head from the same finish family.
5) Is the shower arm brass or plastic?
Brass. The 1660103 is a brass-bodied ceiling arm with a plated finish, weighing about 0.551 lb, so it supports a rain head off a ceiling connection without flexing the way a plastic arm would.
6) Is this ceiling shower arm meant for apartments and homes or for commercial showers?
American Standard classes the 1660103 as a residential item in its luxury bath line. It fits well in apartment, condo, and hotel-style guest baths where a ceiling rain head is being installed; for high-traffic institutional shower rooms, look at hardware specified for commercial duty.
7) Is the 1660103 tied to a specific American Standard faucet collection?
No, it is a universal part rather than one locked to a single collection, so it can be paired with any rain head that takes a 1/2-inch NPT connection. Match on finish rather than on series.
