American Standard Left-Hand Trip Tank Lever Assembly - AMS-7381047-200

Yes, it's a left-hand trip lever, meaning it mounts through the hole on the left-hand face of the tank near the front. If the existing lever on your toilet comes out of the right side, this is not the correct replacement, and it is not a reversible part.

The manufacturer part number is 7381047-200.0020A, sold as a complete lever assembly (handle plus trip arm). Order by that number rather than by description, since American Standard lists left-hand and right-hand trip levers separately.

Polished chrome, and that's the only finish offered on this assembly. If the rest of the trim in the bathroom is brushed nickel or bronze, the chrome arm and handle will be a visible mismatch on a tank sitting in an open stall or a guest bath.

It's a full tank lever assembly, so the handle and the trip arm come together. You still reuse the existing flapper chain and flapper; the chain hooks onto the new arm at whichever hole gives you the right amount of slack.

Very little. The assembly is made to install by hand: unhook the flapper chain, back off the retaining nut inside the tank (it's reverse threaded on most toilet levers, so it loosens clockwise), pull the old lever out, drop this one in, and re-hook the chain. Tank doesn't need to be removed and supply usually doesn't need to be shut off, though draining the tank keeps the work dry.

The assembly is built as a solid metal-construction lever rather than a hollow plastic handle, which is what holds up in high-traffic restrooms where handles get hit hard and often. For a facility standardizing across many stalls, note that this one covers only left-hand trip toilets, so you'll need the right-hand version for any fixture plumbed the other way.
