American Standard 1660194.243 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard Rain 12-inch shower arm thread onto my existing showerhead?
It uses standard 1/2-inch NPT thread at both ends, which is the near-universal shower connection in North America, so it mates with the wall drop nipple and with virtually any showerhead. No adapter needed for a standard head.
2) How far out from the wall does this 12-inch right angle shower arm reach?
It is a 12-inch arm with a right angle bend, so it runs out horizontally from the wall outlet and turns down to point the head straight at the floor. That is what you want for a rain-style head you stand under, rather than an angled spray off a short standard arm. Overall packaged length is 15.197 inches.
3) Is a right angle wall mount arm or a ceiling drop better for a rain showerhead?
Use this wall mount arm when you have an existing wall shower outlet and do not want to open the ceiling. The right angle bend gets the head out over the bather and facing down, which a standard sloped arm cannot do. A ceiling drop is the alternative when you need the head centered in a larger enclosure or dead over a bench, but it requires plumbing in the ceiling.
4) What is this American Standard rain shower arm made of, and will the finish hold up in a rental bathroom?
Brass construction, which is the reason it can carry the weight of a large rain head cantilevered off the wall without sagging the way thin-wall tubing can. It is classed as a residential fitting, so for apartment and single-family turns it is a fit; a high-abuse commercial gang shower is not what it is built for.
5) What finishes does the American Standard 1660194 shower arm come in so I can match the rest of my trim?
Six finishes: Chrome (1660194.002), Polished Nickel (.013), Matte Black (.243), Legacy Bronze (.278), Brushed Nickel (.295), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (.GN0). These follow American Standard's standard finish suffixes, so the arm can be matched to a Rain-family valve trim and head in the same code.
6) Does a showerhead come with this arm?
No. The 1660194 is the arm only, a 12-inch right angle wall mount arm in brass. You supply the showerhead, and you will want thread sealant tape for the 1/2-inch NPT joints at the wall and at the head.
7) Is this shower arm heavy enough to need blocking behind the wall?
The arm itself weighs 0.683, so the arm alone is light. Load comes from the head hanging at the end of a 12-inch cantilever, so on a standard drop ell in a tiled wall a large metal rain head is the thing to check, not the arm. Solid blocking behind the drop ell is cheap insurance on a new build.
