American Standard M970092-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is American Standard part M970092 and what does it include?
M970092 is a shower arm with its escutcheon flange, sold as a set. The arm is the pipe that comes out of the wall and carries the showerhead; the flange is the trim ring that covers the wall opening around it. It ships in chrome under part number M970092-0020A. The showerhead itself is a separate purchase.
2) Will an American Standard shower arm thread into my existing shower drop ell?
Shower arms use a 1/2 inch NPT male thread on both ends, and that is the same connection found on standard drop ells in residential and commercial walls, so the M970092 arm threads into a conventional 1/2 inch drop ell and accepts any standard showerhead. Wrap the threads with PTFE tape or pipe dope on install.
3) Can I use this shower arm on a tub and shower combination?
Yes. The M970092 arm and flange is specified for shower and tub applications, so it works on a tub/shower riser as well as a dedicated shower stall. It handles only the overhead connection, not the tub spout or the diverter valve.
4) What finish does the American Standard M970092 shower arm come in?
Chrome is the only finish, ordered as M970092-0020A. For a property manager standardizing bathrooms, chrome is the safe match to most existing American Standard shower trim; if the other fixtures in the unit are brushed nickel or bronze, this arm will not match them.
5) Do I need to open the wall to replace a shower arm and flange?
No. The arm unthreads from the drop ell inside the wall and the flange slides off over it, so the swap is done from the face of the tile. Replacing the arm together with the flange, as this set does, is what lets you cover any chipped or oversized tile opening left by the old trim.
