American Standard Town Square S 6-3/4-Inch IPS Diverter Tub Spout - AMS-8888108

The Town Square S 8888108 spout is built for 1/2 inch copper pipe. It threads onto the stub-out rather than sliding on, so your rough-in needs a threaded nipple, not a bare slip-fit copper stub. If what's coming out of your wall is smooth copper with no threads, this is the wrong spout for that opening and you want a slip-on model instead.

Yes, the 8888108 is the diverter version of the Town Square S spout. Pulling the diverter sends water up to the shower head; it drops back to tub fill when the water shuts off. If the opening is a tub only with no shower riser, you want the non-diverter Town Square S spout instead.

It depends entirely on what's in the wall. A threaded spout like this one screws onto a 1/2 inch threaded nipple and seals at the threads, so it stays put and does not rely on a set screw. A slip-on spout clamps to a bare copper stub with a set screw underneath. They are not interchangeable, and swapping between the two means changing the stub-out. Look under the existing spout: a set screw means slip-on, no set screw usually means threaded.

All metal construction, not a plastic body with a metal skin. For a rental turn or a hotel bathroom where the diverter gets pulled several times a day, that is the part that matters, since plastic diverter spouts are the ones that snap at the pull rod.

Five finishes, and each has its own order number: Chrome is 8888108.002, Polished Nickel is 8888108.013, Matte Black is 8888108.243, Brushed Nickel is 8888108.295, and Brushed Cool Sunrise is 8888108.GN0. If you are matching a Town Square S faucet and trim already in the bathroom, order by that suffix rather than by the finish name alone.

It's part of American Standard's Town Square S family, so it's the spout intended to run with Town Square S tub and shower trim in the same finish. For a property manager standardizing several bathrooms, that family name plus the finish suffix is what keeps the openings looking alike.

American Standard positions it as a residential fitting in their luxury line, so it suits multi-family units, condos, and hospitality guest baths where the finish is on show. All metal construction holds up better than plastic under repeat diverter use. For a high-abuse institutional setting, spec accordingly.
