American Standard 8888093.243 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the American Standard Townsend slip-on tub spout fit 1/2-inch copper pipe?
The Townsend diverter spout is a slip-on style made for 1/2 inch (13 mm) copper pipe. It slides over the copper stub coming out of the wall and secures with a set screw rather than threading on, so there are no pipe threads to match. If your stub-out is threaded iron pipe or a copper nipple with threads, this is the wrong spout, you need a threaded (IPS) spout instead.
2) How far does the Townsend tub spout need the copper stub to stick out of the wall?
Measure 6 inches (152 mm) from the wall to the center of the spout outlet on the Townsend. That is the dimension to work from when you set the stub-out depth on a rough-in. The finished spout body runs 8.875 inches long overall, so allow for that when checking clearance to the tub deck below.
3) Can I swap just the tub spout on a Townsend bath without touching the valve?
Yes. The Townsend slip-on spout comes off the copper stub by loosening the set screw underneath and pulling it straight off, so it's a trim-only swap with no wall opening and no work on the rough valve. The one thing that has to match is the stub itself, 1/2 inch copper, unthreaded, with 6 inches from the wall to the spout outlet center.
4) Does the Townsend 8888093 tub spout have a diverter for a shower head?
Yes, it is a diverter spout, so it has the lift knob on top that redirects water from the tub filler up to the shower head. If the bath has no shower riser and you only need a filler, order the non-diverter version of the spout instead, the diverter knob serves no purpose on a tub-only opening.
5) What finishes does the American Standard Townsend tub spout come in, and will they match the rest of the Townsend trim?
Five finishes: Chrome (8888093.002), Polished Nickel (8888093.013), Matte Black (8888093.243), Brushed Nickel (8888093.295), and Brushed Cool Sunrise (8888093.GN0). All five are Townsend family parts, so the finish codes line up with American Standard Townsend faucets and shower trim carrying the same suffix. For a property manager standardizing a building, the finish suffix is what keeps the spouts matching across units.
6) Is the Townsend 8888093 spout heavy metal or plastic?
It weighs 1.918 lb for a part measuring 8.875 by 4.5 by 4.375 inches, which is the weight of a cast metal spout body, not a plastic shell with a metal skin. That matters on a rental or hospitality install where the spout gets used as a grab point.
7) Is the American Standard Townsend tub spout meant for residential or commercial bathrooms?
American Standard specs the Townsend spout as a residential product in its Luxury line. It goes into single-family, condo, and apartment baths, and it's common in hospitality guest rooms for the same reason, the styling is finished trim rather than institutional. For a high-traffic public washroom, a commercial-rated spout is the better call.
