American Standard 7075800.243 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard Colony PRO widespread faucet work with my existing 8-inch center hole spacing?
Yes, and it covers more than just 8 inch centers. The Colony PRO widespread lavatory faucet uses flexible hose connections that accommodate installations from 6 inches to 12 inches center to center, so the same faucet drops onto a deck drilled at 6, 8, or anything in between up to 12. That flexibility is why it works for retrofit jobs where the existing three-hole deck was not drilled to a modern 8 inch standard.
2) Is this a widespread or a centerset faucet, and which one do I need for my sink?
The Colony PRO 8-inch is a widespread, meaning three separate pieces: spout in the center hole and two handles in the outer holes, joined by flexible hoses. A centerset is one piece on a 4 inch deck and will not cover a widespread-drilled deck. If your lavatory or countertop has three holes spaced 6 to 12 inches apart, widespread is the one you want. If the holes are 4 inches apart, a widespread will not reach and you need a centerset instead.
3) Does the Colony PRO bathroom faucet meet the 1.2 gpm low-flow requirement for commercial restrooms?
It flows 1.2 gallons per minute (4.5 L/min), which is the flow rate spec'd on most commercial and institutional lavatory jobs and well under the 2.2 gpm federal maximum for residential lavatory faucets. For a facility standardizing restrooms on a single low-flow faucet, the 1.2 gpm rating is the number to put on the submittal.
4) Is the American Standard Colony PRO widespread faucet lead-free for potable water?
Yes. The Colony PRO widespread is built from lead-free metal, which is what a spec writer or institutional buyer needs confirmed for potable water service. The body is metal rather than plastic throughout.
5) What finishes does the Colony PRO 8-inch widespread bathroom faucet come in?
Three: polished chrome (7075800.002), brushed nickel (7075800.295), and matte black (7075800.243). Chrome is the usual choice for multi-family and institutional restrooms because it is easiest to match across an existing fleet of openings; brushed nickel and matte black are the finishes for a renovation where the accessories are being changed out at the same time. All three carry the same 1.2 gpm flow and the same 6 to 12 inch mounting range, so finish is purely an appearance decision.
6) Are these faucets going to drip in a year like the cheap ones do?
The valving is the part that matters here, and the Colony PRO uses 1/4 turn ceramic disc cartridges rather than rubber compression washers. Ceramic disc is the standard for rental and commercial restroom traffic because there is no washer to wear out and go weepy. The 1/4 turn action also means handles go full off to full on in a quarter rotation, which is what you want where tenants and the public are operating them.
7) Does the Colony PRO faucet have lever handles or knobs, and do lever handles matter for accessibility?
Lever handles, two of them, one per side. Levers are the handle type that gets specified on ADA-governed restrooms because they operate without grasping or twisting, unlike a round knob or cross handle. For a property manager replacing knob faucets in units, levers are also the easier change to justify to residents.
8) Am I ordering one part number or does the widespread faucet come as separate pieces I have to source?
One part number gets the complete faucet: spout, both lever handles, and the flexible hose connections between them. Order by finish, so 7075800.002 for chrome, 7075800.295 for brushed nickel, or 7075800.243 for matte black. You will still need supply lines and a drain assembly, since neither is part of the faucet.
9) Can I standardize a whole building of bathrooms on the Colony PRO widespread?
That is the case it is built for. One model number per finish covers every deck drilled between 6 and 12 inches on center, so a mixed-vintage building with inconsistent hole spacing can still land on a single SKU instead of stocking two or three faucets. The 1.2 gpm flow is consistent across all three finishes, so a water-use submittal written once applies to the whole order.
10) Is the Colony PRO the same faucet as the standard Colony line?
Colony PRO is American Standard's contractor and commercial tier of the Colony family, and this one is the 8-inch widespread 2-handle configuration, MPN base 7075800. If a drawing or a prior order calls for a Colony PRO widespread lavatory faucet at 1.2 gpm with lever handles, 7075800 is the number, with the finish suffix deciding the rest.
