American Standard Town Square S 6-1/4-Inch 1.8 gpm/6.8 L/min Fixed Showerhead - AMS-1660515

Yes. The Town Square S 6-1/4-inch fixed showerhead has a maximum flow rate of 1.8 gpm (6.8 L/min) and is stated as CEC compliant, which is what California requires for new showerhead installs. That flow is about 30 percent less water than a standard 2.5 gpm head, so it also works for water-conservation specs in other jurisdictions that cap at 2.0 gpm.

Five finishes: chrome (1660515.002), polished nickel (1660515.013), matte black (1660515.243), brushed nickel (1660515.295), and brushed cool sunrise (1660515.GN0). All are part of the American Standard Town Square S family, so the finish names line up with the tub and shower trim in that same collection.

Yes, in the ordinary case. Fixed showerheads like the Town Square S thread onto the standard 1/2 inch NPT shower arm that a 2.5 gpm head came off of, so the swap is a wrench-and-tape job with no wall work. The change the tenant will notice is flow: this one is capped at 1.8 gpm by a pressure-compensating device, which is roughly 30 percent less water than the head coming off.

A pressure-compensating flow control device is built into the Town Square S showerhead, so it holds the 1.8 gpm rate rather than letting output swing with supply pressure. That matters in multi-story buildings where the top-floor units run soft and the ground floor runs hard, and it is the reason the spray stays consistent across a stack of identical units.

American Standard classes the Town Square S 6-1/4-inch head as a residential product, and as a luxury-tier item within its line. Property managers do use it in multi-family and hospitality baths for the finish match and the 1.8 gpm rate, but if you are speccing for heavy-duty commercial washroom duty, look at a product rated commercial rather than this one.

It is a 6-1/4-inch face, and the product measures 8.562 x 7.937 x 3 inches with a weight of 1.036 lb. That is light enough for a standard shower arm with no added bracing, and the 6-1/4-inch face keeps it clear of a tight shower enclosure ceiling or a sloped ceiling in an attic conversion.

Fixed head. The Town Square S 1660515 is a wall-mount fixed showerhead, not a handshower and not a kit with a slide bar. Order the shower arm and flange separately if you are replacing a whole assembly; for a straight head swap the existing arm stays in place.

The nozzles are the easy-clean type that resist clogging, so mineral buildup can be rubbed off the face by hand instead of requiring the head to come down and soak. In hard-water buildings that is the maintenance item that usually drives showerhead replacement, so it is worth noting when you are standardizing across units.
