Here are some common questions and detailed answers about the American Standard Series to assist with your purchasing decisions.
What makes American Standard toilets more efficient than other brands?
American Standard toilets incorporate advanced flush technologies like the Champion 4 system, which uses a large flush valve and optimized bowl design to remove waste effectively with less water. This results in superior performance while meeting EPA WaterSense criteria for water conservation, saving households up to 16,500 gallons of water per year compared to older models.
Are American Standard faucets easy to install for DIY homeowners?
Yes, many American Standard faucets are designed for straightforward installation with clear instructions and standard hardware. Features like quick-connect fittings and pre-assembled components make it achievable for most DIY enthusiasts. However, for complex installations or if you're unsure, we recommend consulting a professional plumber to ensure proper function and avoid leaks.
How do I clean and maintain American Standard products to ensure longevity?
For daily cleaning, use mild soap and water with a soft cloth to avoid scratching finishes. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that can damage surfaces. For toilets, regular brushing and occasional use of non-abrasive cleaners help maintain the flush system. Faucets may benefit from periodic descaling if you have hard water. Always refer to the product-specific care guide included with your purchase for detailed maintenance tips.
Do American Standard bathtubs come with slip-resistant features?
Yes, many American Standard bathtubs, such as those in the Evolution series, include slip-resistant surfaces as a standard or optional feature. These surfaces are designed with texture patterns that provide extra grip, enhancing safety especially for children and elderly users. Additionally, some models offer built-in grab bars or compatibility with aftermarket safety accessories for added security.
What is the warranty coverage for American Standard Series products?
Warranty terms vary by product but generally include a limited lifetime warranty on ceramic components (like toilets and sinks) and finishes, along with 5 to 10 years on mechanical parts (such as faucet cartridges and shower valves). Specific details are provided in the warranty documentation that comes with each product, and coverage may require product registration online for full benefits.
Can I mix and match different finishes within the American Standard Series?
Absolutely, the American Standard Series is designed with coordination in mind, offering consistent finishes across product lines. For example, you can pair a chrome faucet with a matching shower system and accessories. We provide a wide range of finishes like chrome, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze to ensure seamless integration in any bathroom or kitchen design, allowing for personalized style without compromising on quality.
How does American Standard ensure product durability and reliability?
American Standard products undergo rigorous testing, including cycle testing for faucets (e.g., 500,000 cycles for handles), impact resistance checks for toilets, and flow performance assessments. We use high-quality materials such as vitreous china, solid brass, and certified lead-free components to ensure long-term reliability. Additionally, our compliance with industry standards like ASME and NSF certifications guarantees safety and performance.
Are there eco-friendly options in the American Standard Series?
Yes, sustainability is a core focus. Many products, including toilets and faucets, are EPA WaterSense certified, meaning they use at least 20% less water than standard models without sacrificing performance. We also incorporate recycled materials in packaging and manufacturing processes where possible, and our efficient designs help reduce overall water and energy consumption in homes.
What should I do if I need replacement parts for an American Standard product?
Replacement parts are readily available through authorized dealers, home improvement stores, or our official website. We recommend using genuine American Standard parts to maintain performance and warranty coverage. For assistance, you can contact our customer service team with your product model number, which is typically located on the product or in the installation manual, to ensure you get the correct components.
How does the American Standard Series cater to users with accessibility needs?
Our series includes ADA-compliant products such as comfort height toilets, grab bars, and walk-in tubs designed for easier access. Features like lever handles on faucets, barrier-free showers, and adjustable shower systems provide enhanced usability for individuals with mobility challenges. We prioritize inclusive design to make our products accessible to all users, promoting independence and safety in the home.
