American Standard 6545170.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard Monterrey 6545170 gooseneck faucet fit a standard 8-inch widespread three-hole sink?
Yes. The Monterrey 6545170 is an 8 inch widespread faucet, so it mounts in the standard three-hole deck with 8 inch center-to-center spread between the handle holes and the spout in the middle. The valve bodies come with 8 inch rigid copper connections tying the two bodies to the spout.
2) What supply connection do I need for the Monterrey 6545170 faucet?
The inlet shanks are 1/2 inch male thread with brass coupling nuts, so they mate to standard 1/2 inch supply risers or flex connectors. No adapter needed on a typical 1/2 inch stop.
3) Why does the spout on this wrist blade faucet only swing part way?
The swivel on the Monterrey gooseneck is deliberately limited to 140 degrees so the spout cannot be turned past the back of the sink and dump water on the counter or floor. It is a behavior you want in a public restroom or a clinical hand sink, not a defect.
4) Is 5 inches of spout reach enough to clear the bowl on my lavatory?
The gooseneck spout reaches 5 inches (127 mm) from the center of the spout base. On a standard lavatory that puts the stream over the bowl; on a deep or wide commercial sink where the faucet sits well back from the bowl, measure from your spout hole to the drain before you commit.
5) What flow rate does the Monterrey 6545170 deliver, and will it hold that flow on a low-pressure line?
It ships with a 1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) pressure-compensating aerator, which means the flow stays near 1.5 gpm as inlet pressure varies instead of surging on high pressure risers. That is the rate facilities usually spec for public lavatories.
6) Are the wrist blade handles on this American Standard faucet suitable for a public restroom that gets abused?
They are vandal-resistant wrist blade handles with red and blue temperature indicators, and the valve bodies are cast brass. Wrist blades are what you put in schools, clinics and public washrooms because a forearm or elbow can operate them with gloved or full hands.
7) Does the Monterrey 6545170 come with a drain or pop-up assembly?
What is described is the faucet itself: gooseneck spout, two cast brass valve bodies with 8 inch rigid copper connections, wrist blade handles, and the 1.5 gpm aerator. Plan on sourcing the drain, supply risers and stops separately for the rough-in.
8) Does this faucet use washers that will need replacing, or cartridges?
Washerless ceramic disc valves, not rubber washers. For an MRO crew standardizing a building, that means no seat-and-washer rebuilds, and drip complaints get handled by swapping the ceramic cartridge instead.
9) What finish and part number should I order for the Monterrey gooseneck wrist blade faucet?
It is sold in chrome, manufacturer part number 6545170.002. That is the only finish in the Monterrey 6545170 gooseneck wrist blade configuration, so ordering across a fleet of restrooms is a single line item.
