American Standard 6540175.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard Monterrey gooseneck faucet fit a standard 8-inch widespread three-hole sink?
Yes. The Monterrey 6540175 is an 8 inch widespread configuration, so it mounts to the usual three-hole deck with 8 inch centers between the hot and cold valve bodies and the spout in the middle. The valve bodies come tied together with 8 inch (203 mm) rigid copper connections.
2) How does the Monterrey gooseneck spout connect to the supply stops, and do I need adapters?
The valve bodies have 1/2 inch (13 mm) male threaded inlet shanks with brass coupling nuts supplied. If your stops or supply risers are set up for 1/2 inch threaded shanks you can connect directly; anything else (compression risers sized differently, or flex connectors with a different thread) needs the appropriate adapter, which is not part of the faucet.
3) Does the gooseneck spout on this American Standard faucet swivel, or is it fixed?
Either one. The gooseneck spout is field-convertible between rigid and swivel, so the same faucet can be set fixed over a single bowl or left swinging to cover a double compartment sink. Reach is 5 inches (127 mm) from the spout body, which is what decides whether it clears the bowl rim on a deep utility or lab sink.
4) Is 0.5 gpm enough flow for a public restroom lavatory?
For handwashing, yes. The Monterrey delivers 0.5 gpm / 1.9 Lpm through a pressure-compensating VR multi-laminar spray, which holds that rate steady as building pressure swings, so the last fixture on the run behaves like the first. It is a handwash flow rate, not a fill rate, so if the fixture is a mop or utility sink that needs to fill a bucket, choose a higher-flow outlet instead.
5) Are the wrist blade handles on the Monterrey faucet suitable for a healthcare or school restroom?
That is what they are built for. The wrist blade handles let staff operate the faucet with a forearm or elbow rather than a hand, and they are vandal-resistant, which matters in open public washrooms. Red and blue indicators mark hot and cold. Under the handles are washerless ceramic disc valves, which is the cartridge type that holds up to heavy cycling without the drip that seat-and-washer stems develop.
6) Is this American Standard faucet a complete unit or just a replacement spout?
It is the complete widespread faucet: gooseneck spout, two cast brass valve bodies with wrist blade handles, the 8 inch copper connections between them, and brass coupling nuts on the 1/2 inch inlet shanks. Supply risers, stops, and the drain assembly are separate items you order to suit the rough-in.
7) What finish does the Monterrey 8-inch widespread gooseneck faucet come in?
Chrome, under part number 6540175.002. It is the single finish offered on this model, so if a facility is standardizing on brushed nickel or another finish across its washrooms, the Monterrey gooseneck will not match.
8) What is the faucet body made of on the American Standard Monterrey gooseneck?
Cast brass valve bodies, joined by rigid copper connections rather than plastic tubing. For an MRO buyer stocking a facility, that is the durable-goods construction you want on a fixture that sees constant use, and it is repairable at the valve rather than disposable.
