Moen, a company known for its kitchen and bathroom faucets, designs and manufactures a wide assortment of products for the home. In the bathroom, sink, tub and shower faucets offer many choices while the kitchen products include sink and bar. The specifications for these faucets provide the consumer with information for informed selections.
Water Flow
This specification involves the maximum amount of water that flows through the faucet in a minute. For the standard Aberdeen kitchen faucet the flow is 2.2 gallons per minute. Bathroom sinks present different standards as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through its WaterSense program sets those rules. Moen, with its Brantford line and others, as evidenced by the WaterSense seal, meets the standard of 1.5 gallons per minute for a bathroom sink.
Plumbing
Specifications for proper installation remain vital as a leak-proof faucet is a necessity. The Aberdeen kitchen faucet and many other products feature the patented Hydrolock installation system that requires no tools. Instead the faucet snaps on the water line with a distinctive click that alerts the installer that a successful installation has been achieved.
Water Stream
In addition to water flow, specifications call for different types of water streams. The classic Aberdeen provides an aerated stream, meaning that air is added to the water for the purpose of water conservation. According to Moen, Aberdeen also offers a special feature, a pull-down spout with a one-of-a-kind pause button to interrupt water flow without turning off the kitchen faucet. The Camerist line of kitchen faucets offers what Moen describes as a light, gentle veggie spray as one of its options. The Anabelle offers three options: full flow, eco-performance (meets WaterSense requirements) spray and eco-performance aerated stream.
