American Standard Metering 4-Inch Centerset 2-Handle Faucet 1.0 gpm/3.8 Lpf - AMS-1340225

Yes. The 1340225 metering centerset is a self-closing faucet: press the handle and it runs, then shuts off on its own. It's factory set to a maximum of 0.17 gallons per cycle, so a handle left pressed by a user doesn't turn into a running sink. That's the behavior you want in a school, park building, or highway rest area where nobody is going back to close the tap.

It's built for a 4-inch centerset deck, meaning a three-hole lavatory on 4-inch centers. If your sink is drilled 8-inch widespread or single-hole, this isn't the body for it. Most commercial lavatories and countertops with three holes at 4 inches on center take it directly.

Flow is 1.0 gpm (3.8 Lpf) through a pressure-compensating vandal-resistant aerator. Pressure compensating matters on multi-fixture restroom runs: the flow holds at 1.0 gpm whether one lavatory is in use or six, so the last sink on the line doesn't dribble. Combined with the metering cycle, actual water per use is capped at 0.17 gallons.

No drain is included. A grid drain is offered separately, and a grid (no stopper) is the usual choice for public restrooms since there's nothing for a user to plug the bowl with. Budget the drain and supplies as separate line items when you're pricing out the fixture.

The body is cast brass, not plastic or zinc, and the aerator is a vandal-resistant type that can't be unscrewed by hand. Two handles rather than a single lever means no long arm to pry on. For high-abuse public restrooms that's the construction to specify.

The two-handle version gives you separate hot and cold, so the user mixes their own temperature and each side meters independently. A single-handle metering faucet delivers one preset tempered stream instead. Go two-handle when the building has tempered hot supply and you want users able to adjust; go single-handle where you want one fixed temperature and the simplest possible user interaction. The 1340225 is the two-handle 4-inch centerset.

If the existing faucet is a 4-inch centerset on a three-hole deck, the 1340225 drops into the same holes. What changes is the user experience: the handles no longer stay open, they meter and close, so tell building staff before the swap. Reuse of the existing drain and supplies depends on what's there, but the deck prep itself is the same 4-inch centerset pattern.
