A Celebration of Victorian Style Faucets in Elegant Quentin Bath Collection from American Standard

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (June 7, 2012) — Inspired by traditional Victorian Era designs of perfume bottles and vases, the Quentin collection of antique style faucets for the bathroom offers exquisitely detailed craftsmanship combined with modern water savings and technological advances. This statuesque new vintage faucet collection from American Standard includes a full line of beautifully coordinated and intricately formed lavatory faucets, bath/shower fixtures and complete shower systems, including two decorative lavatory faucet spout options.

Quality craftsmanship is reflected in the crisp details on each element in the traditional collection. To achieve its turn-of-the-century authenticity, each design facet –the hour-glass base, the stylized levers and spout, the high quality ornamentationcarried throughout – have been carefully crafted to reflect an intricate and iconic period piece. Available finishes for this collection include polished chrome, satin nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze.

Beneath the surface, faucet spouts and bodies are made of high-quality cast brass for strength and durability, and washerless ceramic disc valves help to ensure a lifetime of drip-free performance.

The collection’s traditional 19th century outward elegance belies its 21st century inner technology that streamlines installation and provides for maintenance-free performance. Like all American Standard bathroom sink faucets, Quentin fixtures feature the exclusive Speed Connect drain – the pre-assembled drain that installs effortlessly and never needs adjusting. The drain seals tightly so water stays in the sink, and the lift rod comes set to correct height and never comes loose.

Additionally, the Quentin bath/shower trim coordinates with the American Standard TRIMendous universal valve technology, making it easy to upgrade any existing American Standard bath/shower in-wall valve and eliminating the need to rip out tile.

Conservative in both appearance and water consumption, Quentin lavatory faucets use 32 percent less water than conventional faucets and meet the rigorous WaterSense-certification standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), requiring a maximum flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm).

Like all American Standard faucets, the Quentin collection bathroom faucets are worry-free, drip-free and built to last. Every faucet is covered by a limited lifetime warranty on both function and finish.
