FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 2014

NEW MOEN® BRANTFORD™ IS ONE OF THE FIRST PULLOUT KITCHEN FAUCETS TO OFFER REFLEX® FOR EFFORTLESS SELF-RETRACTION

Brantford Spout Offers Just the Right Height for Aesthetics and Functionality in the Kitchen

North Olmsted, Ohio… Consumers in search of a traditionally styled pullout faucet can now really have it all at the kitchen sink with the latest innovation from Moen. The new Brantford™ kitchen faucet is one of the first pullout faucets to feature Moen’s innovative Reflex® system, which offers self-retraction of the spray wand, as well as an exceptional range of motion, generous reach and secure docking retraction, helping to improve the user’s overall experience.

“Pullout faucets continue to grow in popularity,” said Andrea Conroy, director of wholesale marketing, Moen. “With Brantford, consumers now have an option of a traditionally styled, lower profile pullout faucet that offers the right height, for both looks and functionality in the kitchen, as well as peace of mind of never having to worry about a dangling spray wand because of Reflex.”

The classically styled Brantford pullout features decorative touches, with a teardrop-shaped handle and elegant rings on both the faucet spout and neck. Its lower profile spout not only enhances the faucet’s aesthetics, but offers just the right height to help fill large pots, reduce splashing and improve rinsing in and around the sink. The two-function pullout spray wand allows users to switch the water flow from aerated stream to spray with the push of a button, providing added convenience. Plus, new spray technology cleans faster than most pullout faucets. Brantford’s single-hole installation fits cleanly against solid-surface and natural- material countertops that are popular in today’s kitchens.

Additionally, Brantford utilizes the Moen® 1255® Duralast® cartridge, which provides a consistently smooth handle feel and the highest levels of quality and durability for the life of the faucet. Flexible supply lines also allow for quick and easy installation.

The Brantford pullout faucet is available in Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Moen’s exclusive Spot Resist™ Stainless finish, which resists fingerprints and water spots, helping to maintain the brilliance of the faucet. Brookshire is ADA compliant and offers a limited lifetime warranty*.
