American Standard Expands Quince Faucet Collection to Offer More Versatility and Luxury in the Kitchen

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (June 4, 2012) — Graceful curves and contemporary silhouettes are paired perfectly with smart design and solid craftsmanship in the newly expanded Quince kitchen faucet collection from American Standard. The four elegant high-arc additions include pull-out, pull-down and semi-professional models, plus a pull-down bar faucet.

Expanding on the Quince collection’s stylish, sculptural forms, these new models bring a feeling of modern luxury to the kitchen, in addition to offering an ergonomic and flexible spray head to streamline food prep and clean-up. With a sleek swivel spout and single-lever convenience to control both temperature and flow rate, these new Quince kitchen faucets offer superior performance for a variety of kitchen tasks.

A multifunction spray is available on the pull-down and semi-professional models, easily toggling between functions — pause, spray and stream — at the touch of a button for maximum versatility. The convenient pause function enables users to interrupt the water flow while moving the hand spray away from the sink area, making it ideal for watering a plant or filling a pot. It's like having a second on-off button in your hand – and convenience at your fingertips.

The entire Quince kitchen faucet collection offers metal spouts for lasting durability and washerless ceramic disc valves for a lifetime of drip-free performance. Plus, all models feature a durable metal lever handle that is smooth and easy to use. It controls a convenient temperature memory feature allowing the valve to close and open at precisely the same setting.

While the stylish collection is designed for single-hole installations, a matching escutcheon deck plate (optional) enables installers to easily integrate the faucets with existing two, three, and four-hole configurations.

These pull-down and pull-out faucets feature braided nylon metal hoses for smooth and seamless use. All models include pre-attached stainless steel supply hoses for reliable performance and rapid installation.

These Quince kitchen faucets are ADA-compliant, meet all federal and state regulatory standards for ‘lead free’ plumbing fixtures and offer a limited lifetime warranty. The three standard models are available in polished chrome, stainless steel and oil-rubbed bronze finishes; the semi-professional style is available in polished chrome and stainless steel.
