American Standard Paradigm Selectronic Touchless Faucet, Battery-Powered With SmarTherm Safety Shut-Off + ADM, 0.5 gpm/1.9 Lpm - AMS-7025305

No. The Paradigm Selectronic runs on a CR-P2 lithium battery that sits inside the faucet itself, rated for 5 years, and there is no control box below the deck. That makes it a straight swap in retrofits where there is no receptacle under the lavatory and no room to mount electronics in the cabinet. Mixing happens above deck with a removable handle, so the valve work is above the counter too.

The faucet itself is a single-hole, top-mount design, but an optional deck plate is available to cover 4-inch (102 mm) or 8-inch (203 mm) centersets. If you are replacing a three-hole faucet on an existing deck, order the deck plate separately; it is not part of the faucet.

It carries the SmarTherm safety shut-off, which stops flow to prevent accidental scalding, and that function is ASSE 1070 certified. Because mixing is done above deck at the faucet, the temperature limit is set and adjusted without getting under the counter.

Flow is 0.5 gpm (1.9 Lpm) through a vandal-resistant, pressure-compensating multi-laminar spray. Pressure compensating means the 0.5 gpm holds steady as building pressure fluctuates, which is what you want across a floor of lavatories on a shared riser.

The Paradigm Selectronic has dual inlets for hot and cold, and it mixes above deck. Plumb both supplies to it rather than feeding a single tempered line if you want the SmarTherm shut-off and the mixing handle to do their job.

An Auto Purge feature periodically runs the faucet to flush stagnant water from the body. That matters in buildings with intermittent occupancy, seasonal facilities, or fixtures that sit unused between shifts.

It installs from the top and all serviceable parts are reachable without crawling under the deck, including the battery, which sits inside the faucet rather than in a remote box. For an MRO crew swapping batteries across dozens of lavatories, that is the difference between a ladder-and-flashlight job and a two-minute stop.

Two finishes: chrome, model 7025305.002, and brushed nickel, model 7025305.295. If you are standardizing a building, those are the two numbers to spec.
