LAS VEGAS, KITCHEN/BATH INDUSTRY SHOW (May 8, 2007) -- American Standard's new Copeland™ collection of faucets is a uniquely American transitional style designed to be completely in tune with best-selling styles of lighting fixtures and door hardware. Copeland includes centerset and widespread lavatory faucets, deck-mounted tub fillers with or without a personal shower, as well as bath and shower trim and valve kits.

"Copeland is simply great American design, classic and formal, with sculptural lines you'd find on really elegant door hardware," said Gray Uhl, design director at American Standard. "We drew upon the streamlined geometric forms of upscale door and accessory hardware to create this composition as a perfect complement."

American ingenuity supports the beauty of Copeland, including state-of-the-art, drip-free technology with a limited lifetime guarantee, American Standard's EverClean™ on selected finishes, and American Standard's exclusive Speed Connect™ for the lavatory faucets. EverClean is a permanent finish that prevents dirt and water spots from adhering to the faucet surface. Water beads up and one wipe with a dry cloth removes the spots easily, leaving a lustrous shine. The patented protective finish is integrated into the Polished Chrome and Satin Nickel faucet surfaces during the manufacturing process.

The lavatory faucets also feature American Standard's Speed Connect drain, which eases the installation process. Faucets can be installed in a fraction of the time because Speed Connect requires fewer installation steps and fewer parts than conventional drains. The exclusive drain design is virtually hassle-free because it can be installed without special tools or even plumber's putty. What's more, the drain seals tight the first time and every time, and never needs adjusting.

The collection is available in three finishes including Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel and Blackened Bronze. Suggested list prices on the widespread model start at $285 for Polished Chrome. For more information on American Standard products, visit www.americanstandard-us.com or call (800) 899-2614.
