American Standard Monterrey 8-Inch Widespread 8-inch Reach Gooseneck Faucet With Wrist Blade Handles 1.5 gpm/5.7 Lpm - AMS-6540178

Yes. The Monterrey gooseneck is an 8-inch widespread configuration, so it mounts to a three-hole deck or sink with 8 inch centers between the handle holes and the spout. The valve bodies are cast brass with 8 inch rigid copper connections running back to the spout.

Either, and you set it in the field. The 8 inch (203 mm) reach gooseneck spout is field-convertible between rigid and swivel, so one faucet covers a single-bowl lav where you want the spout to stay put and a two-compartment sink where it needs to swing.

The inlet shanks are 1/2 inch (13 mm) male thread and ship with brass coupling nuts, so they mate to standard 1/2 inch female supply risers or stops. No adapter is needed for a typical lav rough-in.

That is what the wrist blade handles are for. They are vandal-resistant blades with red and blue temperature indicators, so staff can operate them with a forearm or elbow instead of a grip, which is why this configuration shows up in clinics, labs, and institutional washrooms. The washerless ceramic disc cartridges hold up to heavy traffic better than seat-and-washer valves.

It runs 1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) through a pressure-compensating aerator, so the flow stays consistent even when other fixtures on the line are drawing. That rate meets the common 1.5 gpm maximum written into most commercial lavatory specs.

It is sold in chrome, ordered as American Standard part 6540178.002. Chrome is the single finish offered on this configuration, which makes it easy to standardize across a building where the rest of the trim is already chrome.

The spout reaches 8 inches (203 mm) from the base, which puts the stream well out over a standard lavatory or a small scrub sink bowl. Measure from your spout hole to the center of the bowl; if that distance is more than 8 inches, the water will land toward the back of the basin rather than the drain.

Ceramic disc cartridges, which is what the Monterrey gooseneck uses, are washerless. There is no rubber seat or washer to wear out and start dripping, so maintenance calls drop on openings that get hundreds of uses a day. A compression faucet is cheaper to rebuild but you will be rebuilding it.
