the new Delancey Bath Faucet Collection features authentic period detailing combined with modern
functionality to complement bathrooms with classic decor.
Smart Innovations for Installers and Commercial Applications
For every five plumbers who retire, only one enters the profession. The
shortage of skilled labor means plumbers are chronically over capacity.
That can mean longer wait times for homeowners and building owners
alike, but there are solutions that can help mitigate the time needed forinstallation and repair. The new Flash pressure balance shower valve
from American Standard saves installation time, giving plumbers
additional time to take on more jobs.
