American Standard 6540278 Widespread Bathroom Faucet Chrome

Product Description

The AMERICAN STANDARD 6540278 is an 8-inch widespread bathroom faucet from the Monterrey collection, built for commercial and high-use environments. It features a gooseneck spout with an 8-inch reach and 6-inch spout height, finished in polished chrome over solid brass construction. The ceramic disc valve cartridge delivers drip-free performance over extended service life. A pressure-compensating aerator maintains a constant flow rate of 1.5 GPM regardless of supply pressure variation. Lever handles and a flexible under-body assembly simplify installation. This faucet is intended for installation by licensed plumbers in commercial restroom applications.

The 6540278 is designed for commercial restroom installations where durability and consistent performance are required. The 8-inch widespread configuration fits standard 3-hole sink decks with 6-inch center-to-center spacing. The polished chrome finish suits high-traffic environments. A deckplate is not included, making it suited for direct three-hole deck mounting. The Quick Install system reduces time on the rough-in. Connection size is 1/2 inch, compatible with standard supply line fittings commonly found in commercial plumbing systems.
