M•PRESS™ METERING FAUCETSFROM MOEN COMMERCIAL

LIMIT MAINTENANCE COSTS, MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

New Faucets Ensure Reliable Performance, Proper Shut-Off Every Time

Oakville, Ontario…Moen’s Commercial Division announces M•Press™ - a line of metering faucets offering excellent reliability,durability andunparalleled water and energy cost savings. M•Press metering faucetsare designed to provide substantial savings, plus trouble-free performance, even in the most demanding commercial environments.

The M•Press faucet contains Moen’s new, proprietary Durameter™ cartridge, a durable brass shell cartridge featuring a sealed silicone timing mechanism that is completely isolated from the water source to protect it from impurities and clogs, ensuring consistent timing. Pre-set at 10 seconds, the timing never needs to be reset to compensate for pressure variance, allowing for easy installation and eliminating the frequent maintenance required for most metering faucets. The cartridge’s timing adjustment needle automatically shuts the water off after each use and can be modified from 10 to 60 seconds to suit the needs of any facility.

The M•Press faucet’s pressure-independent designensures consistent water flow and proper shut-off every time, even if water pressure varies throughout the building. Large waterways eliminate common leaks and jams by allowing line trash to pass. In addition, water pressure will not affect the force required to operate the handle, allowing for a consistent feel and reliable operation throughout the life of the faucet.

“When specifying a faucet for a commercial application, it’s important to choose a model that will provide water efficiency, style and reliable performance for years to come,” said Garry Scott, vice president, wholesale marketing and brand development, Moen Canada. “Moen’s M•Press metering faucets are constructed of the highest quality materials and factory tested to ensure years of water savings and dependable operation.”

Moen’s commercial metering faucets suita variety of applicationsand include a four-inch centreset faucet; an eight-inch widespread model; a traditional single mount faucet; or a new modern front-facing style, with anextended reach handlefor greater accessibility. M•Press faucets feature an interlocking design that secures the cartridge to the handle hub and fastens the assembly inside the valve body, keeping the handle properly aligned and preventing it from rotating. Optional deckplates are available for the M•Press single-mount designs to eliminate rotation and keep faucets securely in place.

All M•Press faucets feature vandal-resistant aerators, solid brass construction and a chrome finish that resists harsh industrial cleaners. In addition, M•Press faucets feature an updated easy-to-clean design that provides a stylish look for commercial applications. These faucets are fully ADA-compliant.

For additional flexibility, Moen’s 8200 series of M•Dura heavy-duty faucets can also be converted from a manual-style faucet to an M•Press metering faucet (8886) with a quick change of the handle and cartridge from above the deck, using a simple conversion kit (52120).
