American Standard A922388-0130A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does an American Standard stream straightener do compared to a regular aerator?
The A922388 stream straightener is a flow regulator that sits in the faucet spout outlet and conditions the water into a solid, non-splashing column. An aerator mixes air into the water for a soft, cloudy stream; a straightener leaves the stream clear and laminar. Choose it on kitchen and sink applications where you want a clean solid stream and less splash-back in a shallow basin.
2) My kitchen faucet sprays sideways and splashes. Will a stream straightener fix that, or do I need a new faucet?
Most of the time it is the outlet insert, not the faucet. Mineral scale or debris in the screen breaks the stream apart and sends it off-axis. Replacing the insert with the American Standard A922388 stream straightener restores a solid, directed stream for a fraction of the work of changing the faucet. If the spray persists after the new insert is in, the problem is upstream in the cartridge or the supply, not at the spout.
3) Which finishes does the American Standard A922388 stream straightener come in, and what is the part number for each?
Four finishes, each with its own American Standard part number: Chrome is A922388-0020A, Polished Nickel is A922388-0130A, Oil Rubbed Bronze is A922388-2240A, and Legacy Bronze is A922388-2780A. Order by the full suffixed number so the visible outlet ring matches the rest of the faucet trim.
4) I manage apartments and need to match the finish on an existing American Standard kitchen faucet. Does the straightener finish matter?
It does, because the straightener housing is the visible ring at the tip of the spout. American Standard offers the A922388 in Chrome, Polished Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Legacy Bronze so it can be matched to the faucet it goes into. If you are standardizing across a building, pick the one finish code and buy it in quantity rather than mixing suffixes.
5) Is the A922388 a kitchen sink part or a bathroom lavatory part?
It is catalogued by American Standard for kitchen sink use. The application is a sink faucet spout outlet, so it is the part you order when a kitchen faucet's stream is spraying or breaking up rather than running as a clean column.
