American Standard Akron Wall-Hung Cast Iron Service Sink With Plain Back and Rim Guard - AMS-7695000

The American Standard Akron service sink, model 7695000.02, is a wall-hung unit and ships with a wall hanger. It needs a wall structure capable of carrying an enameled cast iron basin plus water, so blocking or a backing plate behind the finished wall is normal practice. There is no floor pedestal or leg set with it.

No. What is included is the enameled cast iron basin and the wall hanger. A service faucet (typically a wall-mount type with a hose thread spout and vacuum breaker), the trap, and the trap standard or strainer are all ordered separately, so budget those into the rough-in.

Plain back means the sink has no integral high splashback panel behind the basin. You get the basin and rim only, so the wall behind it needs its own protection, tile, FRP panel, or a separate splash guard, in a mop room or janitor closet where hoses get used.

That is what it is built for. The Akron is enameled cast iron with a glossy porcelain finish, and the rim is protected by a stainless steel rim guard, which is the edge that takes the beating from mop handles, buckets, and wringers. Cast iron is heavier and more impact tolerant than a molded composite basin, which is why property managers and MRO buyers spec it for shared service rooms.

A wall-hung service sink like the Akron sits at waist height, which suits filling and emptying buckets, rinsing tools, and laundry style work, and it leaves the floor clear for cleaning. A floor-set mop basin is the better pick when staff need to roll a bucket straight in or when the wall cannot carry a cast iron fixture. Choose the wall-hung version when you have solid backing and want the basin off the floor.

White only. The single orderable configuration is 7695000.02, a white glossy porcelain finish over cast iron. If a job calls for a matching color across fixtures, this one will not be color-matched to anything other than white.
