Moen Kitchen Faucet Buyer’s Guide

Since their creation in 1937,  Moen has grown to become one of the most trusted names in American kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Headquartered in the heart of the country, Moen believes in incorporating practical technology and design to create faucets that homeowners will love.The Home Help Team at National Builder Supply speaks daily with Americans who are interested in adding Moen faucets to their homes, but aren’t sure where to begin. We’ve created this buyer’s guide to help you get started.Read on to discover the many advantages of Moen Kitchen Faucets.The first thing to consider when choosing a Moen faucet is how many faucet holes your sink deck has. Single handle faucets, such as the Moen Brantford Side Handle Faucet, only require one hole in the sink while traditional two handled faucets require three holes in the sink deck.Accessories like soap dispensers, side sprays, and lotion dispensers will use extra faucet holes (Learn more about accessories below). Those who wish to upgrade from a three holed faucet to a single Shower Heads can do so by covering the pre-existing holes with covers or a metal escutcheon.

If you are renovating your kitchen and will purchasing a new countertop, we suggest choosing the faucet first. Countertop installers will be able to create as many holes as needed for your faucet and accessories in the new countertop.When choosing your Moen faucet, it is important to know where your faucet will be mounted. The mounting of the faucet not only changes the look of your sink and kitchen, but could possibly change the instillation method.Most homeowners today gravitate towards single handle faucets, like the Moen Arbor MotionSense faucet.  These faucets and those that have separate handles and spouts are traditionally mounted on the countertop slightly behind the sink, also known as deck-mount.
Another option is wall mounting. Wall mounted faucets, like the Moen Laboratory Faucet, are connected to the wall above the sink, leaving the counterspace below free and clear. They are best used with sinks that do not come with pre-drilled holes, and in kitchens without low-setting windows above the sink. The transition from a traditional mounted faucet to a wall mounted faucet will require additional plumbing and modification to the wall above and behind the sink. We advise you to make this transition only during a complete kitchen renovation.
