American Standard Selectronic IC Touchless Faucet, Base Model, 1.5 gpm/5.7 Lpm Laminar Flow in Base - AMS-605B173

The faucet is the spout only. The Selectronic IC platform is modular: you pick the faucet, then a control box (solenoid or thermostatic mixing valve), then a power supply from five options, and each of those components is sold separately. So a complete working assembly is at minimum three line items. Decide the control box first, because that is what determines whether you get straight cold/tempered supply through a solenoid or blended temperature at the valve.

Single-hole installation is the base configuration, but it will cover a multi-hole deck using an optional 4 inch or 8 inch deck plate. The deck plates are ordered separately. Match the plate to your existing hole spacing: 4 inch centerset decks take the 4 inch plate, 8 inch widespread decks take the 8 inch.

It has a programmable auto purge: the faucet opens on its own at a preset interval after the last use to flush the faucet body and the supply lines. That is the feature to lean on for a school, seasonal facility, or any wing with low traffic. There is also a safety auto shut-off that closes the valve after 55 seconds of continuous run so a blocked sensor cannot flood the basin.

Go solenoid when the water reaching the fixture is already tempered, by a master mixing valve upstream or a dedicated tempered loop, since the solenoid only opens and closes. Choose the thermostatic mixing valve control box when hot and cold arrive separately at the sink and the outlet temperature has to be blended and held at the fixture. Both are Selectronic IC control boxes and both are ordered separately from the faucet.

It runs 1.5 gpm (5.7 Lpm) through a laminar flow device in the base. Laminar rather than aerated matters in healthcare and lab settings, where aerators are often prohibited because they can harbor bacteria, and it also cuts splashing in a shallow sink.

Commercial. It is a vandal-resistant unit built for high-use settings, which is the difference between it and a residential sensor faucet: the trim resists prying and the electronics live in a remote control box rather than under the spout.

The infrared sensor detects hand motion to start and stop the water, and its settings can be programmed with an optional remote control. That remote is not included, so if you are commissioning a run of these across a facility, order one remote for the crew rather than one per fixture.

Yes, that is the pairing it was built around. The spout is design-matched to the American Standard ICS scrub sink so the stream lands where it should and minimizes pooling and splashing in the basin. If you are specifying scrub sinks and touchless faucets together for an OR corridor or clinic, this is the matched combination.

The faucet measures 17.126 x 10.394 x 4.252 inches and weighs 2.91 lb. Use the largest of those against your backsplash-to-basin depth when the sink sits tight to a wall, and remember the control box needs its own space in the cabinet or chase below, since it is a separate component.

Chrome, model number 605B173.002. If you are standardizing a floor of restrooms, order the deck plates and any companion soap dispensers in chrome to match, since the faucet is built in that one finish.
