American Standard Colony PRO 2-Handle Kitchen Faucet 1.5 gpm/5.7 L/min - AMS-7074500

The Colony PRO 2-handle kitchen faucet is a 3-hole mount. You need three holes in the deck: one for the spout and one for each handle. If your sink is drilled for a single-hole faucet, this one won't work without a different sink or a deck plate arrangement that isn't part of this faucet.

Flow is 1.5 gpm (5.7 L/min). That is below the 2.2 gpm federal maximum for kitchen faucets, which matters if you are specifying for a water-conservation project or a jurisdiction with a reduced-flow requirement.

No. Handles come with the faucet, so what ships is a complete two-handle trim. Supply lines and any mounting accessories beyond what's packed with the faucet are a separate line item on your order.

Ceramic disc valves, described as drip-free. Ceramic discs are the standard for high-cycle service because they seal against each other rather than wearing a rubber washer, which is why property managers standardize on them across a building instead of chasing drips unit by unit.

Only partly. Model 7074500 itself is fixed at a 3-hole deck mount, but the Colony PRO line is built in multiple configurations for installation flexibility, so units with different hole counts can stay in the same family and the same look without switching brands. Spec the 3-hole version for 3-hole decks and pick the matching Colony PRO configuration for the rest.

It is a two-handle faucet with separate hot and cold controls on a 3-hole deck. Two-handle is what you want when the sink is already drilled for three holes and you want each temperature valve serviceable on its own. Go single-lever instead if the deck has one hole, or if an ADA-style one-hand operation is the requirement for the space.
