Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet Provides Unique Features

The new Aberdeen kitchen faucet from Moen specializes in enabling users to fill vessels outside the sink.

Based in North Olmsted, OH, a suburb of Cleveland, Moen is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

To perform such tasks as watering a plant on the windowsill or filling a vase on the countertop, the user pulls down the ergonomically designed spout, pushes the pause button and interrupts the flow of water as the wand passes out of the sink.

The pullout spout includes a 59-inch hose.

In the company’s extensive research, this was a feature identified as something that consumers wanted. Consumers were also found to prefer kitchen faucets with traditional styling and with a higher and slightly longer spout to provide more clearance when washing dishes or filling large pots.

Designed with these consumer preferences in mind, the Aberdeen line is available in a two-handle or single-handle style and with optional coordinating soap and lotion dispensers.

Faucet finishes include: chrome, glacier, ivory, sand, chrome with LifeShine® polished brass accents, LifeShine stainless and LifeShine copper.

Patented by ITT Industries, Aberdeen’s new Hydrolock installation system snaps together with clicks that let the installer knows the connection is secure.

Hydrolock makes it faster and easier to install and remove faucets, reduces labor, eliminates the possibility of cross-threading during installation and eliminates the need to use tools to attach the water line to the faucet.
