I can’t for the life of me find any screw or cap on this thing. It has been leaking like crazy and I need to check and/or replace cartridge.

It is an American Standard, that’s all I know. Probably about ten years old. Can’t figure out the model or find the literature from purchase.

Any help? Please?

  • When you turn the valve with the handle does the conical element below the handle turn with the handle or does it stay fixed?

Modern American Standard 4" center-set lav faucets with lever style handle typically have a set-screw at the base of each lever in the back. It may be difficult to see the small screw hole as there is usually a little cover plug that needs to be pried out with a small screwdriver or similar tool. You will need a hex wrench:

Another style (less common in my experience) simply requires a firm pull upwards for handle removal:

If this works, here is a link to the complete installation manual.

  • Thanks! Unfortunately there is absolutely no screw hole anywhere — not open or under a cap or cover. Have thoroughly inspected it. What are the other options?

By sending American Standard tech support email with problem and photos of product. They are able to identify product model number which is "Tropic 7038201.002". The replacement cartridge model number is 994053-0070A. I will update it after I install the parts to see if it works or not.
