American Standard® Creates Contractor-Only Brands

In August of 2010, American Standard Brands presented their offering to our Plumbers’ Success International® members in St. Louis. Several asked for products unique to the wholesale channel and American Standard has responded with the new Cadet PRO® and the new Champion PRO® toilets available only to the professional plumbing contractor.

The Cadet collection of toilets expands with the new line of trade exclusive Cadet PRO toilets (pictured on the left below). The new Cadet PRO toilets maintain the same great Cadet performance using a water saving 1.28 gallons per flush while achieving the highest bulk removal MaP score of 1,000 grams. These high-efficiency toilets are available in five different bowl configurations, three rough-in choices, use robust metal tank levers and metal shank fill valves plus a PowerWash® rim that scrubs the bowl with each flush. All Cadet PRO toilets come standard with the EverClean® surface and include a 5-year warranty plus the EZ-install tool kits at no extra cost. Other features include: 3” diameter flush valve – 2-1/8” Siphon Outlet — 9”x 8” Water Spot.

NEW AS PRODUCTSThe new Champion PRO, is a new line of trade exclusive HET designs (pictured on the right above). The same powerful Champion flushing performance with PowerWash rim scrubs the bowl with each flush, and comes standard with our EverClean surface. The Champion PRO line has robust metal trip levers and metal shank fill valves. It also comes with our longest 10 year warranty (includes chinaware and trim) and includes our EZ-Install tool kit at no extra cost. With the industry’s widest 2-3/8″ trapway and 4″ flush valve, the Champion PRO line achieves the highest bulk removal rating of 1,000 grams and will even flush a bucket of golf balls! Other features include:  Full portfolio of 3 bowls and 1 tank—9” x 8” Water Spot.
