American Standard Studio S 6-Inch Slip-On Non-Diverter Tub Spout - AMS-8888316

The Studio S 6-inch spout is a slip-on design: it slides over a smooth copper stub-out and locks with a set screw on the underside of the spout. That means it will not thread onto an IPS nipple. If your rough-in ends in a threaded nipple rather than bare copper tubing, you need a threaded (IPS) spout instead, or you have to change the stub-out to smooth copper.

No diverter on this one. The Studio S 8888316 is a non-diverter spout, so it only fills the tub. In a tub and shower setup, the diverting has to happen at the valve trim (a diverter or transfer valve). For a tub-only filler, or where the valve already handles diverting, this is the correct type; if you are replacing a spout with a pull-up knob on top, you need a diverter spout instead.

The spout measures 8.858 x 4.488 x 4.37 inches overall, so the long dimension is the one that governs how far it reaches out over the tub rim. That reach matters if you have a thick tile surround or a wide tub deck, since the stream has to land inside the tub, not on the rim. Check your stub-out length against the same dimension on the spout you are removing.

Four finishes: polished chrome (8888316.002), brushed nickel (8888316.295), matte black (8888316.243), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (8888316.GN0). The suffix after the model number is the finish code, and American Standard uses those same codes across the Studio S family, so ordering the spout in the same suffix as your Studio S valve trim keeps the opening matched.

Metal construction, not a chrome-plated plastic shell, and the finish is stated to resist scratching and tarnishing. It weighs 1.72 pounds, which is consistent with a metal body rather than a plastic one. For a property manager cycling spouts in a multi-family building, a metal slip-on body with a set screw is the piece that survives being grabbed as a grab bar.

Not if the existing stub-out is already smooth copper of the right length. The spout slides on and tightens with a set screw underneath, usually a hex key, so it is a no-solder swap from the face of the tile. Opening the wall only becomes necessary if the stub-out is threaded, too short, or too long for the spout to seat against the finished wall.

American Standard classifies the Studio S 8888316 as a residential product. It is a fit for apartments, condos, and single-family baths. For high-traffic commercial washrooms and institutional bathing rooms, spec a fitting the manufacturer designates for commercial service rather than this one.

Yes, all four finishes are the same 8888316 body: same 6-inch slip-on non-diverter spout, same set screw mounting, same overall dimensions. Only the finish changes. That matters if you are standardizing a building and want the chrome units in older baths and matte black in a renovated block to look like the same fixture line.
