American Standard M953455-2430A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of drain is the American Standard M953455, and does it have a stopper?
It's a grid drain assembly for a sink. A grid drain uses a fixed perforated strainer face instead of a moving stopper, so water runs continuously and the basin can't be filled. If you need to hold water in the bowl for hand washing or shaving, you want a pop-up drain assembly rather than this one.
2) Does the American Standard M953455 grid drain work on a vessel sink with no overflow?
Grid drains are the usual choice for basins without an overflow, since there's no stopper to trap water and no overflow port needed in the drain body. On a vessel bowl, confirm the bowl's drain opening is the standard 1-1/4 inch lavatory size and check the deck thickness the tailpiece has to pass through before you commit.
3) Do I need a P-trap with the American Standard M953455 grid drain, or is one included?
This is the drain assembly only, the part that seats in the sink bowl and runs down to the tailpiece. The P-trap, trap arm, and escutcheon are separate and get ordered on their own. Match the trap's inlet to a 1-1/4 inch lavatory tailpiece, and if it's an exposed installation under a vessel or wall-hung bowl, buy the trap in the same finish as the drain.
4) What finishes does the American Standard M953455 grid drain come in?
Three: Polished Nickel (M953455-0130A), Matte Black (M953455-2430A), and Legacy Bronze (M953455-2780A). If you're matching an existing American Standard faucet on the same deck, order the drain in the faucet's finish code and the trim will read as a set.
5) For a multifamily or hotel bathroom retrofit, should I spec a grid drain or a pop-up?
Grid drains are the lower-maintenance call for high-traffic public and multifamily lavatories: nothing moves, so there's no lift rod, no clevis, and no ball rod to seize or get snapped off. The trade-off is you cannot fill the basin. Guest bathrooms where someone expects to plug the sink usually get a pop-up; common-area and commercial restrooms are where the M953455 grid drain makes sense.
6) Is the M953455 grid drain a bathroom sink drain or a kitchen sink drain?
Lavatory, not kitchen. It's cataloged for sink use in the bath/washroom line, and grid drains in this family are sized for the standard 1-1/4 inch lavatory opening. Kitchen sinks take a 3-1/2 inch basket strainer with a 1-1/2 inch outlet, which is a different part entirely.
