BECAUSE JUST ADD WATER IS
PRETTY MUCH THE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR A WONDERFUL LIFE.
Thank you for buying an American Standard faucet.
We’re so grateful you did, and you will be too. Because faucets don’t just bring
us water—they’re called upon to clean up brownie pans, luxuriated under by
sleepy not-morning-people, and spit on by teeth-brushing kids. How do we
know? Just like you, we’ve lived with that same beautiful chaos called life for
almost 150 years. We believe that while every home should appreciate in
value, we never forget the sentimental value that grows from enjoying life in
the heart of home—your kitchen and bath. That’s why we love your stories
and ideas; they help us innovate with products that make your life easier.

PARCE QU’AJOUTER SEULEMENT
DE L’EAU EST PRATIQUEMENT
LE SEUL REMÈDE POUR UNE VIE
EXTRAORDINAIRE.
Merci d’avoir acheté un robinet American Standard.
Nous sommes si contents que vous l’ayez fait, vous le serez également. Parce
que les robinets ne servent pas uniquement à nous fournir de l’eau, ils servent à
nettoyer les moules à brownies, ils sont adorés par les lève-tard et ils reçoivent
les éclaboussures des enfants qui se lavent les dents. Comment le savons-nous?
Tout comme vous, nous vivons dans ce même désordre qu’est la vie depuis
presque 150 ans. Comme toute maison doit être précieuse, nous n’oublions
jamais la valeur sentimentale qui croît en profitant de la vie au cœur de la
maison, votre cuisine et votre salle de bains. Voilà pourquoi nous aimons vos
histoires et idées qui nous permettent d’innover dans des produits qui facilitent
la vie.
