American Standard Selectronic Cast Touchless Faucet, Base Model, 0.5 gpm/1.9 Lpm - AMS-605B105

No. The power kit for the Selectronic 605B105 has to be ordered separately, so budget for it on the same purchase order or the faucet arrives unable to run. Plan the power source before install, not after the deck is drilled.

Single inlet only. The Selectronic cast touchless faucet takes one supply, so it runs either straight cold or tempered water blended upstream. If you want warm water at the spout, you need a thermostatic or mechanical mixing valve under the deck feeding that single inlet. There is no handle or temperature control on the faucet itself.

It is a single-hole installation. If you are replacing a widespread or centerset faucet on a deck already drilled for 4 inch (102 mm) or 8 inch (203 mm) centers, an optional deck plate covers the outer holes. Order the deck plate to match the existing drilling; the faucet body itself only uses the center hole.

0.5 gpm (1.9 Lpm) through a pressure-compensating multi-laminar spray. Pressure compensating means the flow holds steady as building pressure swings, so the last fixture on a busy restroom run behaves like the first. At 0.5 gpm this is a handwashing flow, not a fill flow, so it is the wrong choice for a mop sink or anywhere you need to fill a bucket or pot quickly.

A safety timer cuts the water at 55 seconds. If someone leaves a rag over the sensor or a child parks their hands under it, the faucet stops on its own rather than flooding the sink. There is also an auto purge that periodically runs the water to clear stagnant water out of the line, which matters in schools, hotels and any facility with sinks that sit unused for stretches.

Yes, through an optional remote control. The Selectronic sensor is programmed with a remote rather than by pulling the faucet or working blind under the deck, which is what you want when you are tuning a row of sinks in one visit. The remote is a separate purchase.

It is a commercial faucet. The spout is cast and vandal resistant, and so is the 0.5 gpm outlet, which is the pairing you look for in an open-to-the-public restroom where fixtures get pried at and aerators walk off. Touchless operation also removes the handle as a touch point in healthcare and food service settings.

605B105 is the base model in the American Standard Selectronic family: cast spout, single hole, single inlet, 0.5 gpm, sensor operation, with power and the programming remote both sold separately. If you need above-deck mixing, an integral supply option, or a bundled power source, you are looking at a different Selectronic configuration rather than this one. For a straight cold or pre-tempered handwash sink, the base model is the whole job.

Chrome, under part number 605B105.002. If you are standardizing a building on Selectronic and matching existing trim, chrome is the finish this base model ships in.

The faucet measures 17.2 x 10.4 x 4.2 inches and weighs 6.706 pounds. On a shallow deck or a sink tight to a backsplash, check the length figure against your rough-in before ordering; the cast body is not a small trim piece.
