American Standard NextGen Selectronic Touchless Faucet, Battery-Powered With Above-Deck Mixing, 1.5 gpm/5.7 Lpm - AMS-7755215

No. The NextGen Selectronic 7755215 runs on a CR-P2 lithium battery installed inside the faucet body, so there is no below-deck control box and no power hookup to run. That matters in retrofits where there is no receptacle under the sink and in tight cabinets where a box will not fit.

Temperature is adjustable at the faucet. It has above-deck mixing with a removable handle and dual inlets for hot and cold, so you tee into both supplies and set the blend at the deck rather than at a below-deck mixing valve. The removable handle lets a facility lock the setting where tenants or the public should not be changing it.

An optional deck plate is available for either 4-inch (102 mm) or 8-inch (203 mm) centers. The faucet itself is a single-hole body, so if you are replacing a centerset or widespread unit on an existing three-hole deck, order the matching deck plate separately; it is not included.

1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) through a pressure-compensating laminar outlet, so the flow holds steady as building pressure swings, which is what keeps splashing down in a public restroom. The outlet is vandal-resistant, a consideration for schools, transit and other open-access washrooms.

A safety timer closes the valve after 55 seconds, so a sensor held open by a rag, a backpack or standing debris cannot flood the basin. The faucet also runs an auto purge that periodically flushes stagnant water from the line, which is the feature facility staff ask about for low-use restrooms and seasonal buildings.

Yes. It installs from the top and all serviceable parts are reachable from above, including the battery. For a maintenance crew that means battery swaps and outlet cleaning without pulling out a cabinet or dropping a vanity apron.

Go battery when there is no power at the sink and running conduit would mean opening walls or a finished millwork run. The NextGen Selectronic 7755215 carries a 5-year CR-P2 lithium battery in the faucet body, so there is nothing to wire and nothing below deck. Choose a hardwired sensor faucet instead where you have high traffic and an existing power source, and you would rather not track battery replacement across many fixtures.

Chrome, ordered as part number 7755215.002. If you are standardizing a floor of restrooms, that is the number to repeat on the order so every basin matches.
