High-Efficiency Urinal from American Standard Provides Stylish, Low-Maintenance Commercial Solution

Water-Sense-Certified Urinal Features Modern Design, EverClean Technnology, Reliable Performance

Toronto, Ontario (March 23, 2012) -- Commercial specifying engineers and maintenance managers welcome the new Decorum™ FloWise® urinal from American Standard. Its sleek, modern, compact design meets the expectations of luxury office spaces, professional services buildings, resorts, clubs and hotels, while antimicrobial technology reduces the need for maintenance and WaterSense® certified performance dramatically cuts water consumption.

“The Decorum urinal elevates a utilitarian product to something you would expect to see in a world-famous art collection or an exclusive club,” says Simone Abele, Vice-President Marketing, American Standard Brands in Canada.

The high-efficiency urinal (HEU) features FloWise water-saving technology that uses only .4gpf, (1.9L/f) consuming 50 percent less water than a standard urinal. Decorum meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense® program requirements for high performance and water efficiency.

The powerful washdown action of the Decorum urinal is equally efficient with Selectronic® hands-free flush valves or with manual valves. It is ADA-compliant, and may be specified as a urinal/valve system or as an individual chinaware unit.

Maintenance workers will appreciate the Decorum for its antimicrobial technology that helps it stay clean, longer. American Standard’s EverClean® permanent finish inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface – an important safeguard in commercial, institutional and other high-use public installations.

The Decorum is available in white with a 3/4-inch top or back spud inlet and includes a threaded 2 inch outlet connection.

When purchased as a fixture/flush valve combination, the Decorum has a five-year warranty; if purchased as a separate chinaware unit, the urinal carries a one-year warranty.
