American Standard M964953-0070A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the American Standard M964953 piston and solenoid assembly do, and which flush valves does it fit?
The M964953 is the repair assembly for American Standard Selectronic sensor-operated flush valves, covering both the water closet and urinal versions. The piston is the part that meters the flush; the solenoid is what the sensor electronics actually trigger to open it. When a Selectronic valve stops flushing, flushes continuously, or short-flushes after the sensor fires, this is the assembly a plumber swaps rather than replacing the whole valve. Order it by the manufacturer number M964953-0070A.
2) Will this American Standard piston and solenoid kit work on a manual or handle-operated flush valve?
No. The M964953 assembly is built for Selectronic sensor-operated valves, and the solenoid in it only has a job when there is sensor electronics driving it. A manual, handle-operated diaphragm or piston flushometer has no solenoid circuit at all, so this kit has nothing to connect to. For a lever-operated valve you want that valve's own diaphragm or piston repair kit instead.
3) Is the American Standard M964953 assembly the same part for a urinal as for a toilet?
Same part number either way. M964953-0070A is listed for Selectronic water closets and urinals both, so a facility running a mix of sensor toilets and sensor urinals can stock one repair assembly for the sensor valves rather than two. That matters for MRO and property maintenance carts, where carrying one line item instead of two is the difference between fixing the fixture on the first trip and coming back.
4) Does the M964953 piston and solenoid come in a finish to match my flush valve trim?
There is no finish choice to make. The piston and solenoid assembly is internal working parts, it sits inside the valve body behind the cover, so it ships unfinished and nothing about it is visible once the valve is closed up. Chrome or other trim finish only applies to the exposed cover and escutcheon, not to this assembly.
