American Standard Bottom Brace Wall-Mount Service Sink Faucet With 12-Inch Spout and Offset Shanks - AMS-8345115

The 8345115 uses offset shanks with an adjustable rough-in, so it covers anything from 6 to 10 inch centers (152 to 254 mm). That range is what makes it a practical replacement in older janitor closets where the stub-outs were never set to a standard dimension. Measure center to center on your existing supplies; if you land anywhere inside 6 to 10 inches, the shanks will take it up without moving pipe.

Spout reach is 12 inches (305 mm), which is what gets water out over the rim of a deep mop basin rather than dribbling down the back wall. The spout is a plain end with a bucket hook, so a mop bucket hangs directly off the outlet for filling instead of sitting on the floor.

No. The 8345115 has integral supply stops and integral check valves built into the body. The stops let you shut off the faucet at the fixture for service without killing the branch line, and the checks prevent hot-to-cold cross flow through the body, which is the usual complaint on service sink faucets that get left half open. You still supply the wall piping and the mounting into the wall.

No. The spout is a plain end with a bucket hook, meaning there is no hose thread on the outlet. If your custodial staff needs to connect a hose, you want a service sink faucet ordered with a threaded or pail hook spout rated for hose connection instead, typically with a vacuum breaker, since a hose on a service sink is a cross-connection concern.

It is a support leg under the body that ties the faucet back to the wall or fixture so the weight of a hose, a hung bucket, or someone leaning on the spout does not work the shanks loose. On a mop sink the faucet takes abuse no lavatory faucet ever sees, and the brace is the difference between a solid installation and one that starts weeping at the shanks in a year.

The handles are vandal-resistant metal wrist blades. Metal rather than plastic matters in a school, hospital, or public restroom closet where handles get snapped off, and wrist blades let a custodian with full hands operate the faucet with a forearm.

Washerless ceramic disc valves, not rubber washers and seats. For a property manager standing up a maintenance program across a lot of buildings, that means you are not grinding seats and replacing washers on a recurring ticket; ceramic discs are the low-drip choice for the constant on-off duty a service sink sees.

It mounts to the wall, not to the fixture. Service sink and mop basin installations run the supplies up the wall behind the basin, and this faucet lands on those stub-outs with the bottom brace picking up the load. If your basin has deck holes drilled in the rim, this is the wrong configuration and you want a deck-mount service sink faucet.

Chrome, under part number 8345115.002. It is the single finish offered on this model, which keeps it consistent with the chrome exposed piping and mop basin trim typically already in a janitor closet, so replacements across a portfolio all match.
