American Standard 1660198.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will this American Standard shepherd's hook shower arm thread onto my existing 1/2-inch shower drop?
Yes. The Rain 12-inch shepherd's hook arm uses 1/2-inch NPT thread, which is the standard supply thread on a residential or commercial shower drop, so it screws directly onto the stub coming out of the wall. Wrap the threads and you're done, no adapter needed.
2) How far out from the wall does a 12-inch shepherd's hook shower arm put the head?
The arm is 12 inches long, and because it is a shepherd's hook it curves up and over so the head hangs face-down rather than angling out. That is what you want for a large rain head over the middle of the shower floor. The reach is a straight-line 12 inches from the wall outlet, so measure your stall before committing, especially in a narrow tub-shower where a 12-inch arm can push the spray past the curtain line.
3) Does the American Standard Rain shower arm come with a showerhead?
No. This is the arm only, a wall-mount shepherd's hook in brass with a 1/2-inch NPT connection. You supply the rain head separately, and it needs a 1/2-inch NPT female inlet to mate up. The arm itself carries a 2.5 gpm maximum flow rating.
4) What finishes does the AMS-1660198 shower arm come in, and which part number is which?
Two finishes. Chrome is model 1660198.002 and brushed nickel is 1660198.295. Order by that suffix if you are matching an existing trim set, since the finish is the only difference between them.
5) Is this shower arm metal or plastic? I need something that holds up in rental units.
Brass construction, not plastic. That matters on a shepherd's hook more than on a straight arm, because the curve cantilevers the weight of a large rain head away from the wall, and a plastic or thin-wall arm sags or cracks at the thread. Brass also takes repeated wrench work when a head gets swapped between tenants.
6) Will a 2.5 gpm rain shower arm meet my water conservation requirement?
The arm is rated to a 2.5 gpm maximum flow. If your jurisdiction or project spec calls for 1.8 or 2.0 gpm, the restriction has to come from the showerhead you pair with it, since the arm is just the conveyance. Spec the head to the flow rate you need and the arm will pass it.
7) Should I use a shepherd's hook arm or a straight shower arm for a rain head?
A shepherd's hook is the right pick when you want the water falling straight down. It rises off the wall outlet and curves over so the head sits parallel to the floor, which is how a rain head is meant to spray. A standard straight arm angles the head down at you instead, which works fine for a conventional or handheld head but puts a rain head's face at the wrong plane. Choose the hook if the head is wide and flat; choose a straight arm if you want spray aimed from the wall.
