American Standard Monterrey 8-Inch Widespread Gooseneck Faucet With 6-inch Wrist Blade Handles 1.5 gpm/5.7 Lpm - AMS-6540168

Yes. The Monterrey 6540168 is an 8 inch widespread configuration, so it needs three holes on 8 inch centers, two handles plus the center spout. The valve bodies come with 8 inch (203 mm) rigid copper connections between them, so the spread is fixed at 8 inch centers, not adjustable like a flexible-connector widespread set.

Each valve body has a 1/2 inch (13 mm) male threaded inlet shank with a brass coupling nut, so it lands on standard 1/2 inch supply risers or stops. Nothing proprietary, but you supply the stops and risers, they are not part of the faucet.

Both, your choice at install. The gooseneck spout is field-convertible between rigid and swivel, so you can lock it over a single basin or let it swing across a double compartment or a mop-fill setup. Spout reach is 8 inches (203 mm).

That is exactly what they are for. The Monterrey 6540168 comes with 6 inch (152 mm) wrist blade handles with red and blue temperature indicators, so a user can operate the faucet with a forearm or elbow instead of a grip, which is why they turn up in exam rooms, labs, and lavatories in schools. The blades are vandal-resistant, which matters in unsupervised public restrooms. If you want a shorter blade or a lever for tight sidewall clearance, this is not that faucet.

1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) through a pressure-compensating aerator, meaning flow stays steady as building pressure fluctuates, which is useful on upper floors or on systems where several fixtures fire at once. If your spec sheet calls for 0.5 gpm metered or 2.2 gpm, this is not the right outlet rating.

The Monterrey uses washerless ceramic disc valves rather than rubber washers and seats, so there is no washer to wear out and weep. That is the main reason it gets specified for high-traffic public lavatories where a maintenance crew does not want to rebuild stems every season.

Cast brass valve bodies, with rigid copper tubing joining them and brass coupling nuts at the inlets. No plastic in the pressure-bearing path, which is what a facilities buyer standardizing across a building usually wants to confirm.

Order American Standard 6540168.002, the chrome version. Chrome is the finish this model is built in, so there is no finish suffix decision to make beyond .002.

No. The 6540168 is the faucet only: gooseneck spout, two cast brass valve bodies with the 8 inch copper connections, coupling nuts, and the 6 inch wrist blade handles. Drain, tailpiece, trap, and supply stops are separate line items on your order.
