American Standard announced 13 contest finalists for its America's Sexiest Plumber Contest. The finalists, who will be voted on until Dec. 31 at American Standard's Web site, were chosen from several hundred entries based on their great looks, personality and professionalism.

The company said it created the contest to feature its almost maintenance-free Champion® flushing system, which is featured in five new toilets, and to pay tribute to the skilled professionals in the trade. American Standard partnered with the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors-National Association (PHCC) to help promote the contest to plumbers.

The plumber with the most votes gets a free trip for two to the ultimate bowl - Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, Fla., on Feb. 6, 2005, and wins bragging rights to the title of "America's Sexiest Plumber."

American Standard will announce the winner and unveil its 2005 America's Sexiest Plumbers Calendar in January at an event in New York City.
