Moen Redefines Square With New 90°(TM) Collection


NORTH OLMSTED, OH--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - Moen answers the need for sleek, modern styling in the kitchen with the new 90°™ collection. Featuring a minimalist design, the suite offers geometric, 90-degree-angled lines -- all engineered with the most sophisticated Moen technology.

"The demand for modern designs continues to grow around the world," said Mike Reffner, group product manager, Moen. "90° provides a clean look for today's contemporary kitchens."

In addition to its unique styling, the single-handle faucets feature Moen's new 1255™ Duralast™ cartridge. This new, state-of-the-art ceramic-disc cartridge is just another example of how Moen continues to lead the faucet industry in innovation. The compact cartridge allows for exceptional design, while providing the consistently smooth handle feel and the highest levels of quality and durability for the life of the faucet.

Ideal for solid-surface countertops, the 90° collection features single-hole, single-mount faucets in both standard and pullout models. The square lines and high-arcing spouts give a modern kitchen an additional touch of sophistication. The ergonomically designed pullout wand features an easy-turn swivel joint on the end of the hose and three functions: spray, aerated stream and pause. Moen's patented pause button allows users to interrupt the water flow while moving the spout outside of the sink, making it ideal for watering plants and filling large pots. Additionally, the pullout hose jacket is made of fiber for quiet operation.

90° kitchen faucets are available in Chrome and LifeShine® Classic Stainless finishes.
