American Standard M962971-2950A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard M962971 elbow handle used for?
It's a replacement faucet handle for the American Standard Portsmouth line. The elbow (wrist blade) style is the lever you grip with a forearm or wrist rather than fingers, which is why it shows up in healthcare, lab, and foodservice washrooms. You're buying the handle itself, not a complete faucet.
2) Will this elbow handle fit any American Standard faucet, or only Portsmouth?
It's built for the American Standard Portsmouth faucet line. Handles are matched to a specific stem and broach, so treat it as a Portsmouth part and confirm your faucet is that series before ordering. If you're working on a different American Standard family, you need the handle sold for that family instead.
3) What finish does the M962971 Portsmouth elbow handle come in?
Brushed nickel, ordered as M962971-2950A. That's the only finish offered, so if your Portsmouth trim is polished chrome or bronze the handle won't match the rest of the faucet.
4) I need to replace both handles on a Portsmouth widespread lavatory faucet. How many do I order?
One part number covers one handle. A two handle widespread or centerset needs two, ordered as two of M962971-2950A. Hot and cold are handled by the index, not by a different handle part.
5) Does this include the cartridge or valve stem?
No. This is the handle only, a trim replacement. If the faucet is dripping or the stem is stripped, the cartridge or stem is a separate part and swapping the handle won't fix it.
6) Is an elbow handle worth specifying over a standard lever for a facility washroom?
For healthcare, lab, or food prep sinks, yes. The extended blade lets staff open and close the faucet with a forearm without re-contaminating clean hands. For a standard office or apartment restroom a conventional Portsmouth lever is the usual choice, and standardizing on one style across a building keeps your parts shelf simple.
