Customer Reviews for American Standard Handle Screw for Williamsburg Faucets

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

I needed to replace both valve cartridges for an American Standard 2 handle faucet. The brass screw that holds on the hot water handle was corroded and had to be drilled out. It’s s special screw that nobody had in stock. Home Depot had it online. It was an exact replacement.

Excellent! Saved me having to buy an entire new faucet for over $300

Easy to order. Great price.

This is a fine screw. I've seen a lot of fasteners in my day, and this screw stands up there at the top. The color is nice and as it ages the patina gives it a lot of character. I like to carry a few around with me just for looks. The threading, though short, is precise and does the job well. There are a couple downsides to this screw: (a) they corrode and get stuck in the handle so hard that vinegar and penetrating oils do nothing and you have to drill them out and (b) the slotted top, while attractive in that minimalist way, is not appropriate for screws that corrode in place. Overall, though, a fine screw that everyone should own.
