NEW MEDORA™ PULLOUT KITCHEN FAUCET FROM MOEN STRIKES A SOPHISTICATED POSE AT THE SINK

Soft, Modern Styling and Dramatic Finishes Add High-End Appeal

(HIT) - Add some drama and sophistication to your sink with Moen Incorporated’s new Medora™ kitchen pullout faucet. With a sleek, high-arc silhouette and soft modern styling, the single-handle design offers the perfect blend of form and function.

Available in a single-hole mount, Medora blends beautifully into granite and other solid-surface countertops for an upscale, clean look. The single lever handle offers easy-to-use temperature and flow control, while the ergonomically designed pullout wand makes performing everyday tasks in and around the sink easy. With the touch of a button, users can switch between several water flow patterns, including stream, rinse and veggie spray, or choose Moen’s patented pause feature, which instantly stops and starts the flow of water.

"Today’s discriminating consumer is looking for style and function in the kitchen," said Heather Novak, Moen’s senior product manager, kitchen. "Medora combines the best of all worlds with easy-to-use pullout functionality and a striking design that stands out and makes a visual impact at the sink."

The faucet includes a fiber pullout hose with a ball joint at the end of the wand for quiet operation and easier maneuverability when rinsing the hard to reach corners of the sink or when reaching outside of the sink area.

When it comes to finishes, black is back. The Medora faucet is available in a dramatic Matte Black finish for an added level of sophistication. "In our research, we’ve found consumers are incorporating darker finishes into the kitchen," added Novak. "Matte Black complements the rich earth tones that are so popular in decorating today."

Other finishes are Chrome and LifeShine® Stainless.
