American Standard 5500170.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard Monterrey 5500170 fit a sink drilled on 4-inch centers?
Yes. The Monterrey is a 4-inch centerset faucet, so it mounts on a sink or countertop with three holes drilled 4 inches apart center to center. If your deck is drilled 8-inch widespread or single-hole, this is the wrong configuration.
2) What supply connections does the Monterrey centerset faucet use?
It comes with 1/2 inch (13 mm) male threaded inlet shanks and brass coupling nuts. That means you connect standard 1/2 inch supply risers or flex connectors directly to the shanks, no adapters needed on a typical rough-in.
3) How far does the Monterrey faucet spout reach over the sink?
The cast brass spout has a 3-3/4 inch (95 mm) reach. On a small lavatory or a compact commercial hand sink that lands the stream near the center of the bowl, but on a deep double-bowl kitchen sink it is short, so check your basin depth front to back before committing.
4) Why does this faucet have wrist blade handles instead of knobs or levers?
The wrist blade handles let a user open and close the faucet with a forearm or elbow rather than a hand, which is why they show up in healthcare, food service, lab, and school washrooms. They are vandal-resistant and carry red and blue indicators so hot and cold are identified at a glance.
5) What is the flow rate on the American Standard Monterrey 5500170, and can the aerator be changed?
It ships with a 1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) pressure-compensating aerator. Pressure-compensating means the flow holds near 1.5 gpm whether your building runs high or low line pressure, which matters when you are standardizing a floor of restrooms and want consistent performance. The aerator is a threaded spout-end component, so a facility can swap in a different rated insert if local water-use rules call for something else.
6) Are the Monterrey faucet valves washered, or do they need seat and spring kits?
Neither. The Monterrey uses washerless ceramic disc valves, so there are no rubber washers or seats to wear out and drip. For an MRO shop that means the usual annual re-washering call goes away; when service is eventually needed, it is a cartridge replacement rather than a seat-and-spring rebuild.
7) Does the Monterrey centerset faucet include a drain or pop-up assembly?
No drain is part of this faucet. What is described is the faucet body itself: cast brass spout, ceramic disc valves, wrist blade handles, threaded inlet shanks with coupling nuts, and the aerator. Order the drain, tailpiece, and supply stops separately to finish the rough-in.
8) What finish does the Monterrey 4-inch centerset cast faucet come in?
Chrome, ordered as part number 5500170.002. There is one finish, which is the usual choice when you are matching existing commercial washroom trim across a building.
9) Is the American Standard Monterrey 5500170 a plastic body or solid brass?
The spout is cast brass, and the inlet coupling nuts are brass as well. That is the construction property managers look for on high-traffic public sinks, where a plastic-bodied residential faucet gets cracked or snapped off the deck.
