American Standard exact part record
American Standard M964005-0070A Cartridge Identification
M964005-0070A is a faucet cartridge documented for American Standard single-control faucets whose parts sheets specify M964005-0070A. Use the marked part number and the fixture's service information rather than appearance alone.
Direct answer
American Standard identifies M964005-0070A as a replacement faucet cartridge. The valid relationship is to the specific single-control faucet parts sheets that name M964005-0070A, not to all one-handle faucets. Before ordering, match the complete faucet model and its exploded-parts callout, as well as the old cartridge's stem and lower sealing face.

What this record identifies
American Standard identifies M964005-0070A as a replacement faucet cartridge. This is a part record, not the name of a complete faucet or valve. The manufacturer or authorized product documentation linked below is the basis for the application shown here.
The relevant fixture context is single-control deck-mounted faucet where documented, with single lever. A matching silhouette is useful for narrowing a search, but it does not establish fit.
Documented model or system relationship
The valid relationship is to the specific single-control faucet parts sheets that name M964005-0070A, not to all one-handle faucets. That relationship is narrower than a claim that the part fits every American Standard product. Product families can contain different generations, valve bodies, or handle arrangements.
Read the source's application details together with the service sheet for the installed fixture. If the fixture documentation names another part number, follow that documentation rather than this visual guide.
Checks to make before purchase
match the complete faucet model and its exploded-parts callout, as well as the old cartridge's stem and lower sealing face. Compare the complete identifier, connection geometry, locating features, and handle interface while the old part is available.
Also confirm whether the listing is for the internal service part alone or includes seals, clips, adapters, or other installation pieces. Package contents can matter even when the main component number is correct.
How to separate common lookalikes
Other American Standard single-lever cartridges can have a similar cylindrical body while using different stems, seals, or retaining arrangements. Do not treat color, overall length, or a similar stem profile as a substitute for an application listing.
A model number from the faucet, installation sheet, receipt, or valve trim is stronger evidence than a photo match. When markings are missing, contact American Standard support with clear photos and measurements before buying.
Service context
This is an internal control component beneath the handle; finish color and spout shape do not establish which cartridge is installed. Shut off the water and verify that flow has stopped before opening the fixture. Protect finished surfaces and preserve the original orientation of clips, stops, and seals.
If corrosion, a damaged valve body, or uncertain in-wall plumbing prevents a positive identification, pause the repair and use a qualified plumbing professional.
Questions
Before you remove or replace the part
Is M964005-0070A the complete faucet or valve?
No. It is the faucet cartridge identified in this record. The complete fixture or system is American Standard single-control faucets whose parts sheets specify M964005-0070A.
Does M964005-0070A fit every American Standard fixture?
No such broad fit is established here. Use it only where American Standard or the linked authoritative documentation identifies M964005-0070A for the installed model or system.
Can appearance alone confirm the replacement?
No. Confirm the full part number, documented application, connection geometry, locating features, and handle interface before purchase.
What if the fixture model cannot be found?
Keep the old part, photograph its markings and interfaces, and ask American Standard support to identify it. Avoid forcing a near-match into the fixture.
