American Standard M970172-0130A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard M970172 transfer knob actually used for?
It's the handle knob that operates the transfer valve on an American Standard faucet, meaning the control that redirects water between outlets such as tub spout and showerhead. It is a replacement handle only, not a valve or cartridge, so the working valve body has to already be in the wall and in good order.
2) Will this replace a mixing or volume control handle on my American Standard faucet?
No. This is specifically a transfer knob, the handle for a transfer valve that switches water between outlets. A pressure-balance mixing handle or a separate volume control handle is a different part with different stem engagement. Identify which stem the broken handle sits on before ordering.
3) I manage apartments and need to match the handles on the other bathrooms. How do I order the right one?
Order by the finish-coded part number rather than by description. The knob is offered as M970172 with a finish suffix, chrome 0020A, polished nickel 0130A, legacy bronze 2780A, brushed nickel 2950A. If your existing trim is chrome, M970172-0020A is the match. Polished and brushed nickel look different in place, so pull one existing handle and compare before standardizing a whole building on one code.
4) Do I get the valve or cartridge with the M970172 transfer knob?
No, this is the knob alone. It is catalogued as a handle for a faucet, so if your transfer valve is leaking or binding you also need the cartridge or valve repair kit for that specific American Standard valve series. Replacing the knob only fixes a cracked, stripped, or wrong-finish handle.
