American Standard 8888317.243 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the American Standard Studio S 8888317 tub spout have a shower diverter?
No. The Studio S 8888317 is a non-diverter spout, so it is only for tub-fill duty. If the bath has a showerhead above it, the diverter has to live somewhere else in the system, typically a diverter valve or a three-handle trim. Pair this one with a valve that already handles tub/shower switching, or choose a diverter-style spout instead.
2) What kind of plumbing connection does this Studio S tub spout use, and can I put it on a slip-fit copper stub?
It is an IPS spout, meaning it threads onto a 1/2 inch IPS (threaded pipe) nipple. It will not go on a bare slip-fit copper stub-out that relies on a set screw. If your rough-in is copper tubing with no threads, you need either a threaded adapter at the wall or a slip-fit spout.
3) How far does the American Standard 8888317 spout stick out from the wall?
The spout measures 8.875 x 4.5 x 4.375 inches overall, so plan for roughly that much reach off the wall face. That matters on a drop-in or alcove tub where the spout has to clear the tub rim and drop water inside the deck rather than onto it. Check your nipple length so the escutcheon end sits flush to finished tile.
4) What finishes does the Studio S 6-inch tub spout come in, and can I match it to other Studio S trim?
Four finishes: Chrome (8888317.002), Brushed Nickel (8888317.295), Matte Black (8888317.243), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (8888317.GN0). All four are part of American Standard's Studio S family, so the finish codes line up with Studio S faucets and shower trim carrying the same suffix.
5) Is this tub spout metal or plastic underneath the finish?
Metal construction, not plated plastic. That is the difference a property manager cares about on a unit turn: metal body resists the scratching and tarnishing that chews up plastic spouts in high-turnover bathrooms. Shipping weight is about 1.543 lb, consistent with a solid body.
6) Do I need anything else to install this Studio S tub spout?
You supply the threaded nipple. The spout arrives as the finished trim piece only, so the 1/2 inch IPS nipple cut to the right length for your wall thickness, plus thread sealant, are job-site items. No valve or diverter is included, and none is built in since this is a non-diverter model.
7) Is the American Standard 8888317 spout suitable for a commercial or multi-family installation?
American Standard classes this Studio S spout as a residential item. It is fine in apartments and condo bathrooms, but for a heavy-use commercial washroom spec, look at hardware rated for commercial service rather than relying on this one.
