American Standard Selectronic Cast Touchless Metering Faucet, Base Model, 0.35 gpm/1.3 Lpm - AMS-605B104

No. The power kit for the Selectronic 605B104 has to be ordered separately, so budget for it on the same purchase order. Without a power kit the sensor will not operate. This is the base model, meaning the faucet head and sensor only.

The Selectronic cast metering faucet is a single-hole faucet. To mount it on a deck drilled for 4 inch (102 mm) or 8 inch (203 mm) centers you add the optional deck plate, which covers the outer holes. Order the deck plate matched to the center spacing your sink is drilled for.

No mixing. The faucet has a single inlet, fed with either cold water or tempered water from a thermostatic mixing valve upstream. If you need warm water at the fixture, the temperature has to be set by a mixing valve ahead of the faucet, not at the faucet.

A safety timer shuts the water off automatically after 55 seconds of continuous run, so a blocked or fooled sensor cannot flood a restroom. Normal operation is hands-in, hands-out sensing. There is also an auto purge that periodically runs the water to clear stagnant water from the line, which matters in low-traffic restrooms.

0.35 gpm (1.3 Lpm) is a metering-faucet flow rate, intended for handwashing in commercial restrooms, not for filling buckets or a kitchen sink. The spray is pressure-compensating and multi-laminar, so the stream holds the same feel across varying building water pressure rather than surging on the upper floors and dribbling on the lower ones. If you need volume for a service sink, this is the wrong faucet.

Commercial. The cast spout and the aerator are both vandal-resistant, which is the reason to pick this over a residential touchless faucet in a school, stadium, or public building restroom. Cast construction also gives it more mass than a tubular spout in an abuse environment.

Yes, the sensor is programmable with an optional remote control, so a maintenance tech can retune detection range and behavior without pulling the faucet or getting under the deck. The remote is not included with the base model. For a facility standardizing on Selectronic across many restrooms, one remote covers the whole fleet.

The Selectronic cast metering faucet measures 17.2 x 10.4 x 4.2 inches and weighs 6.706 pounds. Useful for checking clearance to a backsplash or mirror on a shallow lavatory deck before you commit an order across a building.

Chrome is the finish, and the manufacturer part number is 605B104.002. That is the number to give when matching additional units to Selectronic faucets already installed elsewhere in the building.
