American Standard M970169-0750A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard M970169 set screw and plug button used for?
It's the fastener kit that secures a faucet handle to its stem, plus the plug button that snaps in to cover the screw once the handle is tightened. American Standard lists it as a faucet fastener part, so it's a handle-repair item rather than a complete handle or cartridge.
2) Does the M970169 kit include a new faucet handle?
No. You get the set screw and the plug button only. If the handle itself is cracked, stripped at the broach, or worn off finish, you need a replacement handle as well; this part just re-secures and re-caps a good handle.
3) My faucet handle is loose and wobbles. Is a set screw and plug button what I need?
Usually yes. On a handle secured by a hidden set screw, a loose handle is most often a backed-out or stripped screw, and the plug button is the cap that has to come off to reach it. Pop the button, check the screw. If the screw tightens and the handle still spins, the stem broach is worn and the handle or stem is the problem instead.
4) If I'm maintaining a building full of American Standard faucets, can I stock this one part for all of them?
Stock it by finish, and verify against the faucet model before you buy in bulk. American Standard part number M970169 is specific to the faucet families that use it; the two versions offered differ only in finish, Stainless Steel and Legacy Bronze. Confirm your faucets call out M970169 in their parts breakdown, then keep both finishes on the shelf if your property mixes trim.
5) Will the Legacy Bronze plug button match my brushed nickel faucet?
No. Legacy Bronze (M970169-2780A) is a dark bronze tone and will read as a dark dot on a nickel handle. For a bright or brushed metallic handle, order the Stainless Steel version, M970169-0750A.
