American Standard 1662743.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What connections do I need at the wall for the American Standard FloWise slide bar shower kit?
The wall supply elbow takes a 1/2 inch NPT female inlet at the wall and puts out a 1/2 inch NPSM male thread for the hose. So you tie into standard 1/2 inch NPT male pipe or a drop ell at the rough-in, and the hose nut threads onto the NPSM outlet. No adapters needed if your shower arm drop is standard 1/2 inch NPT.
2) Does the FloWise 2.0 GPM hand shower meet low-flow requirements for hotel and multi-family retrofits?
Max flow is 2.0 gpm (7.6 Lpm), below the 2.5 gpm federal maximum most jurisdictions use as the ceiling. The turbine setting drops to 1.5 gpm, which is where you land if a project spec or utility rebate calls for a tighter number. American Standard rates it at up to 40 percent more water saved than a standard hand shower.
3) Is this a complete shower system or do I still need a valve?
The FloWise 1662743 kit is the trim side only: hand shower, 59 inch hose, 25 inch slide bar, and a wall supply elbow. It does not include a mixing valve or valve trim. You are feeding it from an existing shower valve and arm drop with 1/2 inch NPT, so budget the valve separately on a new rough-in.
4) How long is the hose and slide bar on the FloWise 1662743 hand shower kit?
The kit comes with a 59 inch (1500 mm) hose and a 25 inch standard slide bar. The handset slides anywhere along the bar, so you can set it high for standing use and drop it for seated or assisted bathing. The 59 inch hose gives enough reach to wash down a tub surround or rinse a pet without pulling the bracket.
5) What are the three spray settings on the FloWise transitional hand shower?
Turbine at 1.5 gpm, full spray at 2.0 gpm, and a combination of the two at 2.0 gpm. Turbine is the concentrated setting and the one that cuts flow; full spray is the everyday coverage pattern. For a property where you want the lowest consumption, spec sheets should reference the 1.5 gpm turbine figure rather than the headline 2.0.
6) Can I use this slide bar kit for an accessible or seated shower in senior housing?
The handset repositions anywhere along the 25 inch bar and detaches on a 59 inch hose, which covers both standing and seated use from one install. Note that the bar is a standard slide bar, not a rated grab bar, so it should not be specified as a weight-bearing assist. Pair it with a separate grab bar where the code requires one.
7) What finish does American Standard 1662743 come in?
Chrome, ordered as part number 1662743.002. That is the only finish this kit is built in, so if the rest of the bathroom is brushed nickel or matte black you are matching a different series.
