American Standard M970138-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes with the American Standard M970138 shower arm, and do I need to buy the flange separately?
The M970138 is a shower arm and escutcheon flange together, so the trim ring that covers the wall opening is included. What is not part of it is the shower head itself, which you order separately.
2) Will a standard shower head thread onto the American Standard M970138 shower arm?
Yes. Shower arms and heads in North America use a common 1/2 inch NPT connection, so a standard head threads straight onto the M970138. Wrap the threads with PTFE tape at both the head end and the wall drop ell.
3) Can I use this American Standard shower arm on a tub and shower combination valve?
Yes, it is intended for shower and tub applications. On a tub/shower valve the arm threads into the drop ell at the top of the riser and feeds the head, while the tub spout runs off the lower outlet.
4) Do I have to buy an American Standard shower head to use the M970138 arm?
No. It is a replacement arm and flange, not a brand-matched assembly, so any standard shower head will thread on. For property managers standardizing across units, the practical reason to stay with American Standard is finish consistency in chrome, not thread fit.
