American Standard 8888038.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the American Standard 8888038 wall supply bracket connect to?
The supply inlet side takes 1/2 inch (13 mm) NPT female threads, so it mates to a standard 1/2 inch NPT male supply nipple coming out of the wall. The outlet for the hose is 1/2 inch (13 mm) NPSM male hose thread, which is what a standard handshower hose nut threads onto. NPT and NPSM are not interchangeable, so run the pipe thread to the wall side and the hose to the outlet.
2) Do I need a separate check valve or backflow preventer with this handshower supply elbow?
No separate device is needed for the elbow itself. The 8888038 wall supply bracket includes a check valve built in, which is what keeps water in the handshower hose from siphoning back into the supply line. That is the usual code concern with a wall-mounted handshower outlet.
3) Is a handshower and hose included with the 8888038 wall supply bracket?
No. This is the wall outlet fitting only, with the check valve and the holder built in. The handshower wand and the hose are ordered separately. Any hose with a standard 1/2 inch NPSM female nut will thread onto the outlet.
4) Does this American Standard wall supply hold the handshower, or do I need a separate hook?
It holds the handshower. The bracket is integral to the supply fitting and cradles the handshower at an angle, so you do not need to buy a separate wall hook or slide bar just to park the wand. If you want the handshower to be height-adjustable, that is when you would go to a slide bar instead.
5) What finishes does the American Standard 8888038 supply elbow come in?
Two: chrome, ordered as 8888038.002, and brushed nickel, ordered as 8888038.295. Match the suffix to the rest of the trim on the valve and handshower so the wall outlet does not stand out.
6) Can this supply bracket be used in a tub and shower combination, not just a shower stall?
Yes. American Standard lists the 8888038 for shower and tub applications, so it works as the handshower wall outlet on a tub/shower riser or in a standalone shower. It mounts to a 1/2 inch NPT supply stub wherever you set the height.
