American Standard M953550-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard Colony showerhead thread onto my existing shower arm?
Yes. It's a wall-mount showerhead built for the standard 1/2 inch NPT shower arm thread used on residential and commercial shower arms in North America, so it swaps onto an arm already in the wall without opening the wall or changing the valve. Wrap the arm threads with tape and hand-tighten.
2) Do I need to change the shower valve to install the M953550 showerhead?
No. The M953550 is just the head, not a valve or a trim kit. It threads onto the existing shower arm and does nothing to the mixing valve behind the wall, so temperature control, pressure balance, and cartridge stay exactly as they are. If your problem is temperature swing or a dripping valve, a new head won't solve it and you need valve trim or a cartridge instead.
3) What kind of showerhead is the American Standard M953550?
It's a single function showerhead from American Standard's Colony line, with an easy-clean spray face. Single function means one fixed spray pattern, no dial or collar to switch modes, which is what most property managers and MRO buyers want in a rental unit or a facility restroom because there is nothing for a tenant to break or misadjust. The easy-clean face lets you wipe mineral scale off the nozzles by hand instead of soaking the head.
4) Is the Colony showerhead a single spray or does it have massage settings?
One spray pattern, fixed. If you want a head that switches between rain, massage, and concentrated spray, this isn't it, look at a multi-function head instead. The tradeoff is deliberate: fewer moving parts means less to fail in a unit you don't visit often.
5) Does the American Standard Colony showerhead come with a shower arm and flange?
The M953550 ships as the head. Plan on reusing the arm and escutcheon already in the wall, or ordering an arm and flange separately if you're building out a new shower. On a straight head swap in an existing bathroom the arm is normally fine and only the head gets changed.
6) Can I clean the mineral buildup off an American Standard easy clean showerhead?
That's the point of the easy-clean face. The nozzles are made to be rubbed clear of lime and hard-water scale by hand, so a maintenance tech can restore the spray on site without pulling the head off and soaking it in vinegar overnight. In hard-water buildings that's the difference between a two-minute service call and a replacement.
