FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 2013

AVAILABLE AT LOWE’S, NEW MOEN® FAUCETS ADD MODERNITY AND FUNCTIONALITY TO TODAY’S KITCHENS

North Olmsted, Ohio… With so many design options in the market today, finding the perfect faucet can be a difficult choice. Homeowners looking to give their kitchen a stylish and functional update can do so with one of Moen’s two new thoughtfully designed kitchen offerings – Kipton™ and Kiran™ – available exclusively at Lowe’s.

The Kipton pulldown kitchen faucet is available in a Chrome finish ($169)* and features a stylish, nature-inspired, single-handle design – while also offering water-saving benefits. The pulldown wand features three unique water flow settings: an aerated stream, a spray and pause. While operating in any of the three settings, users will experience a reduced flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) – which translates to a 32 percent water savings over traditional kitchen faucets.

“We know that water savings is an important attribute for many consumers,” said Andrea Conroy, director of retail marketing, Moen. “We’re thrilled to offer a sustainable product that still provides the exceptional performance they’ve come to expect from Moen.”

The Kiran pulldown kitchen faucet is organic in shape with subtle, crisp edges tapering upward to provide a touch of modernity to any kitchen. The faucet offers a consumer-friendly, single- handle lever design for ease of use, and the pulldown wand offers three settings: an aerated stream, a powerful cleaning rinse and pause. To add to its beauty, Kiran is available in Moen’s exclusive Spot Resist® Stainless finish ($249),* which does just what it says – resists fingerprints and water spots, maintaining the brilliance of the faucet.

Beyond their stylish attributes, the functional faucets feature Moen’s Reflex® system, which offers high-quality performance for smooth operation, ease of movement and secure docking. Additionally, they both utilize the Moen 1255® Duralast® cartridge for a consistently smooth handle feel. Both Kiran and Kipton can be featured as a single-hole installation to fit beautifully into solid- surface countertops; or with a coverplate if a three-hole sink application is desired. And, with the Quick Connect installation system, the faucets are easier and faster to install. A telltale "click" audibly signals a secure connection and eliminates the need for tools to attach the water line to the faucet. Both models offer a limited lifetime warranty.**
