American Standard M970022-0070A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the American Standard M970022 cartridge actually do in a faucet?
It is a faucet valve cartridge that comes with a 1.2 GPM flow restrictor built in, so replacing it both restores valve operation and sets the outlet flow at 1.2 gallons per minute. Part number M970022-0070A.
2) Will swapping in the M970022 cartridge reduce the water flow at my sink?
Yes, if the faucet currently runs above 1.2 GPM. This cartridge carries a 1.2 GPM flow restrictor, so the faucet will deliver at that rate once it's installed. For property managers standardizing on low-flow across a building, that's the point of the part; if you need the original higher flow, this is not the cartridge to order.
3) Is this an American Standard part or an aftermarket cartridge?
American Standard is the brand, and the part number is M970022-0070A. Order by that number when you are matching an existing American Standard faucet rather than by description alone, since cartridge bodies vary across their faucet lines.
4) I have a leaking American Standard faucet. Is replacing the cartridge the fix, or do I need a whole new faucet?
For drips at the spout and handles that will not shut off cleanly, the cartridge is the wearing part and is what gets replaced. The M970022 is that replacement cartridge for American Standard faucets, supplied with a 1.2 GPM restrictor. Leaks at the base of the spout or under the deck are seals and supply connections, not the cartridge.
5) Does the American Standard M970022 cartridge come in different finishes?
No finish options apply. The cartridge is an internal valve component that sits inside the faucet body, so it ships as a single unfinished part under M970022-0070A. Nothing about it changes the look of the trim you already have.
