American Standard M964197-0070A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is American Standard part M964197-0070A used for?
It's a faucet valve cartridge. The cartridge is the internal working part that controls flow and mixing inside the faucet body, so it's the piece you replace when a faucet drips, won't shut off cleanly, or gets stiff to turn, rather than replacing the whole faucet.
2) How do I make sure I order the right American Standard replacement cartridge?
Order by the American Standard part number, not by how the old cartridge looks. American Standard uses different cartridges across its faucet lines and several of them are close in size but not interchangeable. If the repair parts breakdown for your faucet model calls out M964197-0070A, that's your part; if it calls out a different number, the M964197 won't seat or index correctly.
3) Is the American Standard M964197 cartridge a faucet part or a shower valve part?
Faucet. American Standard lists the M964197 cartridge under faucet applications, so it's specified for a faucet body, not for a tub or shower mixing valve. If you're rebuilding a shower valve, match to the cartridge called out for that specific valve series instead.
4) Does the American Standard M964197 cartridge come in different finishes to match my faucet?
No, and it doesn't need to. The M964197 cartridge ships in a single unfinished version because it's an internal part that sits inside the faucet body where nothing is visible once the handle and trim go back on. Finish only matters on the trim you reuse.
5) Can a maintenance tech swap this American Standard faucet cartridge without pulling the faucet?
Yes. Cartridge replacement is done in place: shut off the supplies, open the faucet to relieve pressure, pull the handle and retaining hardware, lift the old cartridge out and drop the new one in. The faucet body, supply connections, and deck mounting all stay put, which is why cartridges are the standard first repair on a leaking faucet in multi-family and hospitality MRO work.
