American Standard 1660244.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will this American Standard institutional showerhead hold 1.5 gpm even if building water pressure swings?
Yes. Model 1660244.002 has a pressure-compensating flow control device built in, so the maximum flow stays at 1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) rather than climbing with higher supply pressure. That is what makes it usable in a multi-story building where pressure varies floor to floor.
2) Is this showerhead suitable for a dorm, correctional, or high-traffic public shower?
That is what it is built for. The American Standard 1660244 is an institutional head with solid brass construction and vandal-resistant mounting, so it resists the tampering and rough handling you get in dorms, barracks, locker rooms, and detention shower rooms. Plastic-bodied residential heads do not hold up in the same service.
3) Does this American Standard showerhead meet a 1.5 gpm low-flow requirement for a water conservation retrofit?
Its maximum flow rate is 1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm), and the pressure-compensating control keeps it there instead of allowing overflow at higher pressures. If your retrofit spec calls for a head at or below 1.5 gpm, this one meets that number.
4) Is the American Standard 1660244 a fixed showerhead or a handheld unit?
It is a fixed wall showerhead with vandal-resistant mounting, not a handheld on a hose. If your opening needs an ADA-style handheld with a slide bar and flexible hose, this is the wrong item for that application.
5) Why choose a brass institutional showerhead over a standard chrome-plated plastic one?
Durability under abuse and constant use. The 1660244 is solid brass with vandal-resistant mounting, so the body will not crack and the head is not easily twisted off or stolen. In a private residence a plastic head is fine; in an MRO or multi-family setting where the head gets handled by dozens of people a day, brass is the reason the replacement cycle drops.
6) What finish does the American Standard 1660244 showerhead come in?
Chrome, ordered as part number 1660244.002. That is the only finish offered, which keeps it easy to standardize across a whole facility when you are replacing heads building-wide.
