American Standard Selectronic IC Touchless Faucet, Battery-Powered, 1.5 gpm/5.7 Lpm Laminar Flow in Base - AMS-6055193

It's a single-inlet faucet. You feed it one supply, either cold or tempered water from a mixing valve upstream. There is no mixing at the faucet itself, so if the fixture needs warm water you have to set the temperature with a thermostatic or mechanical mixing valve ahead of the faucet.

Battery powered, and the CR-P2 lithium battery comes with it. American Standard rates that cell for 4 years of service, so there's no transformer, junction box, or line voltage to run at the sink. For a retrofit into an existing deck with no power nearby, that's the whole appeal.

Not on its own. The Selectronic IC faucet is a single-hole fixture, and American Standard sells an optional deck plate that covers 4-inch (102 mm) or 8-inch (203 mm) centers. If you're replacing a widespread or centerset and the counter is already drilled three holes, order that deck plate with the faucet.

Aerators mix air into the stream and hold water at the tip, which is the reason infection control groups avoid them. This faucet puts a laminar device in the spout base, leaving the spout end plain, so there's no screen at the outlet to seed. American Standard calls it out for healthcare use, and it pairs with the Auto Purge feature that periodically flushes stagnant water from the body.

It runs 1.5 gpm / 5.7 Lpm through a pressure-compensating laminar outlet, and that outlet sits in the spout base rather than at the spout tip. The spout end itself is plain. Pressure compensating means the 1.5 gpm holds steady as building pressure moves around.

A safety timer shuts the water off after 55 seconds of continuous run, so a towel, a pan, or a bag left in the sensor field can't flood the basin. In facilities with unattended restrooms or lab sinks, that's the feature that matters most after the sensor itself.

Yes. The Selectronic IC sensor is programmable using an optional remote control, which lets maintenance adjust settings without pulling the faucet apart. The remote is sold separately, so budget for one per facility if you're standardizing on these across a building.

Auto Purge handles it. The faucet periodically runs itself to push out water that's been sitting in the body, which matters on sinks that go unused over weekends or in patient rooms between occupancies. It works alongside the laminar outlet in the spout base rather than an aerator screen.

Chrome, ordered as American Standard 6055193.002. That's the single configuration for this model, so if the rest of the fixtures on the job are brushed nickel or matte black, this one won't match.
