American Standard M962835-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What rough-in range does the American Standard M962835 adjustable tailpiece cover?
The M962835 tailpiece is built for a 7-1/4 to 8-1/4 inch rough-in, with a 5-1/8 inch tailpiece length. If your drain outlet in the wall falls in that window under a kitchen sink, this is the piece that takes up the slack between the sink drain and the trap without you cutting a fixed tailpiece to length.
2) My kitchen sink drain sits lower than 7-1/4 inches from the trap. Will this tailpiece still work?
No. Below a 7-1/4 inch rough-in you'd be trying to compress the assembly past its adjustment range. Look for a shorter fixed tailpiece or a trap with a higher inlet instead. This one is sized for 7-1/4 through 8-1/4 inches.
3) Is the American Standard adjustable tailpiece part of the drain assembly or the trap?
It's a drain assembly component. The tailpiece is the vertical tube that drops from the sink strainer body down to the P-trap inlet. It is not the trap itself, so if you're replacing a leaking trap or trap arm, this is not the part you want.
4) Can I use this American Standard tailpiece on a bathroom lavatory instead of a kitchen sink?
It is specified as a sink drain assembly part in American Standard's kitchen line. Lavatory drain trains commonly run a smaller tube diameter than kitchen sink drains, so before you buy, confirm the tube size on your existing lavatory tailpiece matches. For a straightforward kitchen sink drain replacement, this is the intended application.
5) What else do I need to order to finish a kitchen sink drain with this tailpiece?
The tailpiece is one segment of the drain train. You still need the strainer or drain body at the sink, a P-trap and trap arm to the wall stub, and the slip nuts and washers at each joint if yours are worn. If you're reusing a trap in good condition, the tailpiece plus fresh washers is often all that changes.
6) I manage apartments and want one tailpiece that works across several kitchen sinks. Is this a good standardization choice?
That's exactly what an adjustable tailpiece is for. Rather than stocking several fixed lengths, the M962835 absorbs anything between a 7-1/4 and 8-1/4 inch rough-in, so one part number covers units whose drain heights vary slightly. Openings outside that range still need a different piece, so spot-check a few of your sinks before you buy in quantity.
7) What finish does the M962835 tailpiece come in?
Polished chrome only, ordered as M962835-0020A. For an exposed kitchen sink drain under a pedestal or open-base cabinet, chrome is what you'd match to a standard chrome P-trap and escutcheon. If the rest of the visible drain train is brushed nickel or matte black, this won't match.
