Moen Inc.
High tech faucet
has low tech appeal
Aunique marriage of form and function,
Moen’s new Aberdeen pulldown
kitchen faucet offers classic
beauty with smart design solutions.
Easy to install, and even easier to use,
the Aberdeen meets all the requirements
of today’s busy kitchen faucet.
The Aberdeen kitchen faucet’s unique
features include a one-of-a-kind pause
button, allowing the user to interrupt
the flow of water, and a single-button
activation spray that instantly changes
the water stream from aerated to spray.
Filling a vase on the countertop is a
breeze – the pulldown hose can reach
outside the sink and the pause button
allows the user to direct water only
where it is wanted.
“Today, style-savvy homeowners
crave traditional styling combined with
modern functionality, like a higher and
slightly longer spout to allow for better
clearance when washing dishes or filling
large pots,” says Ted Harrison, director
of marketing for Moen Canada.
“Aberdeen’s high arc spout and
ergonomically-designed pulldown hose
offer the features that more and more of
our customers are looking for,”
Plumbers and do-it-yourselfers will
appreciate Aberdeen’s ease of installation.
The new Hydrolock installation
system, patented by ITT Industries and
featured on all Moen pull-out and pulldown
kitchen faucets, snaps together
with a telltale “click” so the installer
knows the connection is secure.
“The Hydrolock system is already
used in the automotive industry to connect
fuel lines,” says Harrison. “The
quick-connect system allows for easier
and faster faucet installation and removal,
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.”
Homeowners who prefer the traditional
look of a two-handle faucet, but
demand the functionality of a pulldown
faucet, now have a unique style
choice. Aberdeen is available in the twohandle
and single-handle styles, with an
optional coordinating soap/lotion dispenser.
The Aberdeen is also available in a
variety of eye-catching finishes that easily
fit into today’s popular design
themes, including: Chrome, Glacier,
Chrome/LifeShine® Polished Brass
Accents, LifeShine Stainless, and
LifeShine Copper. LifeShine finishes are
guaranteed not to tarnish, corrode or
discolor. With LifeShine, consumers can
expect long-lasting beauty, year after
year, and faucets that are easy to clean
and maintain.
Like all Moen faucets, Aberdeen
faucets contain Moen’s patented onepiece
washerless cartridge, which means
no washers, springs or discs — the most
common causes of annoying drips. The
self-contained unit has fewer parts,
meaning greater reliability and worryfree
performance, year after year.
