American Standard Plastic Lever Handle Kit - AMS-M961642

It is a faucet handle kit, not a universal one. American Standard builds handle kits against specific faucet models, so check the repair parts breakdown for your faucet model and confirm M961642 is the handle called out before you order. If your faucet's parts list names a different kit number, use that one instead, the lever will not adapt to another stem or broach.

It is ordered as M961642-0020A, and chrome is the finish it comes in. If you are matching other trim on the fixture or standardizing handles across a run of lavatories, chrome is the only option in this kit.

It ships as a kit, so it covers the lever handle replacement rather than a single loose piece, and American Standard lists it as an easy install. It is a handle repair part only, it does not include a cartridge, stem, or valve body, so if the faucet is dripping rather than the handle being broken or wrong, you need the cartridge kit for that model instead.

American Standard rates the kit as durable construction, and plastic levers are standard issue in commercial lavatory work because they resist the corrosion and finish wear that plated metal handles show around constant water exposure. For a property manager replacing handles across a floor of restrooms, the appeal is that the same chrome-finish kit repeats on every matching fixture.
