American Standard 012336-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is American Standard part 012336-0020A used for?
It's a transfer valve seat kit for American Standard faucet and shower valve repair. The seat is the sealing surface the valve stem closes against, so this is the kit you order when a transfer valve leaks or won't divert cleanly between outlets even after replacing the cartridge or stem.
2) My American Standard shower diverter leaks past the handle. Do I need the seat kit or a new cartridge?
If the handle itself weeps, that's usually stem seals, not the seat. The 12336 seat kit addresses the sealing surface the valve closes against, which is what fails when water keeps trickling from the tub spout or head after the transfer valve is shut or fully diverted. A chewed-up seat will also destroy a brand new cartridge quickly, so on an older valve many plumbers replace the seat at the same time as the working parts.
3) What finish does the American Standard 12336 transfer valve seat kit come in?
Chrome is the only finish it ships in. Since the seat sits inside the valve body behind the trim, the finish has no bearing on what you see at the wall, so it works regardless of whether your escutcheon and handle are chrome, brushed nickel, or bronze.
4) Is the American Standard 12336 a seat kit only, or does it include the valve stem?
What you get is the seat kit, not a complete valve. Order the stem, cartridge, or trim separately if those are worn too. Confirm your valve model against the American Standard repair parts diagram before ordering, since transfer valve seats are not interchangeable across all their bodies.
5) Is this seat kit a residential part or can I use it in a commercial building?
American Standard classifies the 12336 seat kit as a repair part rather than a residential- or commercial-only item, so it goes wherever the matching American Standard transfer valve is installed. Maintenance crews in multi-family and hospitality buildings use the same kit as a homeowner would.
6) How much does the American Standard transfer valve seat kit weigh and how big is the package?
Light enough to stock deep on a truck: about 0.099 lb, with stated dimensions of 10.433 x 4.1 x 1. Property managers standardizing on American Standard trim commonly buy these in multiples since they take almost no shelf space.
