American Standard Akron Wall-Hung Cast Iron Service Sink With 8-inch Faucet Holes and Rim Guard - AMS-7695008

No. What ships with the 7695008 is the enameled cast iron basin, the stainless rim guard and the wall hanger. The faucet, the drain fitting and the trap are all separate. Order an 8 inch center service sink faucet to match the drilled back holes, plus the drain and P-trap for your rough-in.

It hangs on the wall. The Akron 7695008 is a wall-hung service sink and the wall hanger is included in the box. Because it is enameled cast iron, the wall needs solid blocking or backing behind the finish surface to carry it; a hanger lagged into drywall alone will not hold. If the mop closet needs a floor-set basin instead, this is the wrong style.

The rim guard is a stainless cap over the sink rim that takes the abuse of mop handles, buckets and bucket rims being dragged over the edge. On the Akron 7695008 it is factory fitted, which is what keeps the porcelain enamel from chipping at the front edge in a high traffic janitor closet. Enameled cast iron chips if you hit a bare rim with a steel bucket, so on a custodial sink the guard is not a trim upgrade, it is the part that keeps the sink looking serviceable.

That is what it is built for. It is a cast iron service sink with a glossy porcelain enamel surface, which resists chemicals and cleans up better than a molded plastic basin, and the stainless rim guard protects the most commonly damaged edge. The tradeoff is weight and mounting: cast iron wall-hung units need real structural backing at the hanger, unlike a lightweight floor-mounted mop basin.

White only. The Akron wall-hung service sink is offered in a single finish, white glossy porcelain enamel over cast iron, ordered as part number 7695008.02.
