AMERICAN STANDARD ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

If inspection of this American Standard plumbing product, within one year
after its initial installation, confirms that it is defective in materials or workmanship,
American Standard will repair or, at its option, exchange the product for a similar
model.

This limited warranty does not apply to local building code compliance;
since local building codes vary considerably, the purchaser of this product should
check with a local building or plumbing contractor to insure local code compliance
before installation.

This warranty shall be void if the product has been moved from its initial
place of installation; if it has been subjected to faulty maintenance, abuse, misuse,
accident or other damage; if it was not installed in accordance with American
Standard's instructions; or if it has been modified in a manner inconsistent with the
product as shipped by American Standard.

American Standard's option to repair or exchange the product under this
warranty does not cover any labor or other costs of removal or installation, nor

shall American Standard be responsible for any other incidental or
consequential damages attributable to a product defect or to the repair or
exchange of a defective product, all of which are expressly excluded from
this warranty. (Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation

of implied warranties, so this exclusion may not apply to you.)

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other statutory
rights that vary from state to state or from province to province, in which case this
warranty does not affect such statutory rights.

For service under this warranty, it is suggested that a claim be made through
the contractor or dealer from or through whom the product was purchased, or that
a service request (including a description of the product model and of the defect)
be sent to the following address:
