American Standard M916803-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is American Standard part M916803, and is it the handle or the whole faucet?
It's a replacement lever handle only for American Standard Colony Soft widespread lavatory faucets, not a complete faucet. The orderable part number is M916803-0020A in chrome. If your Colony Soft handle is cracked, stripped, or loose but the valve body and spout are fine, this is the piece that fixes it without pulling the faucet.
2) I need two handles for a widespread faucet. How many does this part number cover?
A widespread lavatory faucet uses two handles, hot and cold, and M916803-0020A is a single lever handle. If you're replacing both sides, order quantity two. Property managers restocking a building typically buy them in pairs for that reason.
3) Will this handle fit my American Standard centerset or single-hole faucet?
No. This is the lever handle for the Colony Soft widespread configuration, where the hot, cold, and spout are three separate pieces. Centerset and single-control Colony faucets use different handle parts, so match the part to the faucet configuration you actually have before ordering.
4) What finish does the American Standard M916803 Colony Soft handle come in?
Chrome is the only finish offered, under part number M916803-0020A. If the rest of your faucet is brushed nickel, polished brass, or another finish, this handle won't match it and you'll want the Colony Soft handle in that finish instead.
5) I manage a building with Colony Soft faucets in every unit. Can I standardize on one handle part?
For chrome Colony Soft widespread lavatory faucets, M916803-0020A is the one lever handle to stock. Keeping a single part number on the shelf means a maintenance tech can clear a broken-handle ticket the same day instead of pulling the faucet apart to identify the part. Confirm your units are the widespread version and not centerset, since those take a different handle.
6) Do I need to shut off the water to replace a Colony Soft faucet lever handle?
Replacing the handle alone doesn't open the waterway, so the supplies can normally stay on. If you're going into the cartridge or stem while you're in there, shut the angle stops first. The handle is a surface part that sits on the stem above the valve, and swapping it is a hand-tool job rather than a plumbing tear-out.
7) Is the American Standard M916803 handle a lever or a knob?
It's a lever. That matters on commercial and multi-family work, where lever handles are the usual choice over knobs because they can be operated without grasping or tight wrist motion. If the existing faucet has round knobs, this part changes the look and the operation of the opening it's installed on.
