American Standard M970143-2780A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard M970143-2780A part used for?
It's a diverter tub spout for a shower and tub application. The spout feeds the tub filler, and lifting the diverter on top of the spout redirects water up to the showerhead. American Standard's part number is M970143-2780A in Legacy Bronze.
2) Do I need a separate diverter valve if I use this American Standard tub spout?
No. The diverter is built into the spout itself, so the tub/shower changeover happens at the spout rather than at a third valve handle in the wall. That's the difference between this and a plain non-diverter tub spout, which requires a diverter built into the valve body.
3) What finish does the American Standard M970143 diverter spout come in?
Legacy Bronze is the finish offered, under part number M970143-2780A. If you're matching a bath where the trim, showerhead and lav faucet are already American Standard Legacy Bronze, this is the spout that keeps the suite consistent; it will not blend with a chrome or brushed nickel set.
4) Can property managers use this as a straight replacement spout on an American Standard tub/shower?
That's the intended use. It's a factory American Standard repair part, ordered as M970143-2780A, for tub and shower service where the existing spout diverter has failed or the finish is worn. Pull the old spout and match the wall connection on it before ordering, since tub spouts land on either a slip-fit copper nipple or a threaded nipple depending on the original rough-in.
