American Standard 6540170.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this faucet a good choice for a school or public restroom where handles get abused?
That's what it's built around. The wrist blade handles are vandal-resistant and carry red and blue temperature indicators, and the valves are washerless ceramic disc cartridges rather than rubber washers, so they hold up to the constant cycling and over-torquing you get in public and institutional washrooms.
2) How far does the gooseneck spout reach over the bowl?
Reach is 5 inches (127 mm) from the spout base. On a deep or wide commercial lavatory, check that 5 inches lands water where you need it, since the gooseneck rises high and a short reach can put the stream close to the back of the bowl.
3) Can the spout swivel, or is it fixed?
Both, and you decide in the field. The gooseneck spout on the Monterrey 6540170 is field-convertible between rigid and swivel, so the same faucet works on a single lavatory where you want the spout to stay put, or over a two-compartment or wide sink where it needs to swing.
4) What is the flow rate, and will it hold steady with fluctuating building pressure?
Rated 1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) through a pressure-compensating aerator. The pressure-compensating design is the part that matters on a multi-story building or a busy restroom bank: flow stays near 1.5 gpm whether the line is at high static pressure or dropping under simultaneous demand.
5) Why choose wrist blade handles instead of standard lever or knob handles?
Wrist blades let a user open and close the faucet with a forearm or elbow instead of a hand, which is why they show up in healthcare, food service, and lab sinks. The blades on the Monterrey 6540170 are marked red and blue so hot and cold are obvious to anyone using the sink. If the room doesn't need hands-free operation, a lever-handle faucet is the simpler choice.
6) What finish does the Monterrey 8-inch widespread gooseneck faucet come in?
Chrome, ordered as American Standard part number 6540170.002. That is the only finish this model is built in, so if you're standardizing a facility on brushed nickel or matte black trim, this faucet won't match.
7) Are the valve bodies brass or plastic?
Cast brass. The Monterrey 6540170 uses cast brass valve bodies with rigid copper connections between them, which is the construction a maintenance department wants when the faucet is going into a high-traffic restroom and will be serviced rather than replaced.
