KITCHEN FAUCET INSTALLATION AND FUNCTIONALITY IMPROVED BY NEW MOEN ENHANCEMENTS
From the Inside Out, Moen Upgrades the Inner Workings of
More Than 300 Kitchen Faucet Collections
North Olmsted, Ohio… It’s not a simple feat to satisfy the needs of both builders and consumers. But one kitchen faucet manufacturer was able to accomplish this task with grace and ease. Moen Incorporated has improved the inner workings of more than 300 of its kitchen faucets to provide easier installation for builders, as well as quieter operation and improved functionality for homeowners.
All Moen one-handle, two-handle, pulldown and pullout kitchen faucets will now feature Hydrolock™ quick connect installation to improve the ease and speed of installation, with no tools required. In addition, a heavier hose weight is now included to better assist in wand docking and Moen now offers an extra-long, 68-inch fiber hose with ball swivel joint on all new pullout and pulldown kitchen faucets for ease of use, quiet operation and extended range of motion. A retrofit kit is available for existing Moen pullout and pulldown kitchen faucets.
“At Moen, we constantly are looking for ways to improve our kitchen faucet designs – not only from the outside, but from the inside as well,” said Cory Keller, Moen’s wholesale kitchen product manager. “These new kitchen faucet enhancements position Moen as the only manufacturer offering a fiber hose with ball swivel joint on all pullout and pulldown kitchen faucets.”
Patented by ITT Industries and used by automobile original equipment manufacturers, the Hydrolock installation system is Moen's solution for connecting pullout hose and water lines to a new kitchen faucet with ease. Hydrolock snaps together with a tell tale click so the installer can be assured the connection is secure, with audible, visual and tactile confirmation. It allows for an easier and faster kitchen faucet installation, reduces labor time, eliminates the possibility of cross-threading during installation and eliminates the need to use tools to attach the water line to the faucet. Hydrolock's dual internal o-ring seal prevents the possibility of leaks.
