American Standard A860816.427 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is American Standard part A860816.427, and what does it do?
It's the diverter knob for an American Standard faucet, the handle you turn or pull to switch water flow between outlets (for example from spout to sprayer or handshower). It's the knob itself, not a complete diverter valve or cartridge, so if the valve body inside the faucet is what failed, replacing this knob won't fix it. Order it when the knob is cracked, stripped, or the finish is gone.
2) I manage several buildings with American Standard faucets. Will this diverter knob fit any of them?
Not automatically. American Standard diverter knobs are series specific, and A860816.427 is the knob called out for the faucets that specify that part number. Pull the model number off the faucet or the original parts breakdown and confirm A860816 is the listed diverter knob for it before you buy a batch. Matching by look alone is how the wrong knob ends up on a cart.
3) What finish does the American Standard A860816 diverter knob come in?
Satin Brass is the finish offered, ordered as A860816.427. The .427 suffix is the American Standard finish code for that trim, so if the rest of your faucet trim is chrome or polished brass this knob will not match and you'd need the corresponding finish code for your set.
4) Do I need any other parts to replace a faucet diverter knob?
The knob is a trim piece only. Usual replacement is pulling the old knob (often a screw under a cap or a set screw) and fitting the new one to the existing diverter stem, so you generally need nothing else, but if the diverter itself is leaking or won't hold position you'll want the diverter valve or cartridge for that faucet model as well. This part covers the knob.
