American Standard Traditional 1.8 gpm/6.8 L/min Single Function Slide Bar Kit - AMS-1662607

Everything for the shower end of the job is in the box: the traditional single function handheld shower (1660142), the traditional slide bar (1660773), a 60 inch shower hose (8888035), and the wall supply elbow. You supply the wall anchors suited to your wall construction and the valve/shower arm side of the system if it's a new install.

Flow is 1.8 gpm (6.8 L/min) and the kit is WaterSense certified, so it sits under the 2.5 gpm federal maximum and meets the 2.0 gpm cap used in California and other low-flow jurisdictions. A pressure compensating flow control device holds that rate steady across varying supply pressure, which matters in multi-family buildings where several units draw at once.

The kit's overall packed length is 32.313 inches, which is the slide bar dimension driving it. Plan your stud or blocking layout around a bar in that range so both mounting brackets land on solid backing, and set the lower bracket where the hand shower can still drop low enough for seated or bathing use.

American Standard classifies this one as residential. For hotel, dorm, or healthcare openings where vandal resistance and institutional cycle life are in the spec, look for a commercial-rated hand shower package instead. It's a reasonable fit for apartments, condos, and single-family remodels.

Yes, it's built for both shower and tub applications. The 60 inch hose gives enough reach to rinse a tub surround or bathe a child from outside the tub, and the slide bar lets you park the hand shower low for seated use or high for a fixed-spray position.

Single function. One spray pattern, no cycling button or dial on the handle. That's usually what a property manager wants for a rental unit since there's less to break, but if residents expect a massage or pause setting, this isn't the kit.

5.313 pounds packaged. Light enough that standard hollow-wall anchors will carry the bar in a tiled wall, but if the bar will double as a grab point, anchor into blocking or studs. Grab bar duty is a different product with a different load rating.
