North Olmsted, Ohio - Style, functionality and sustainability -- homeowners today want it all when it comes to the products they put in their homes. Now, thanks to Moen, they can achieve this at the kitchen sink, with the new Lancaster™ Eco-Performance kitchen faucet.

Available at Menards, the new Lancaster Eco-Performance kitchen faucet offers beautiful, traditional styling, consumer-preferred high-arc pulldown spout – and a multi-function spray wand featuring water-saving settings.

“Consumers are concerned about saving water – until they are waiting at the kitchen sink trying to fill a pot or pitcher,” said Kevin Campbell, director of retail marketing, Moen. “We are so excited to offer homeowners a water-saving kitchen faucet that still provides the exceptional performance they have come to expect from Moen.”
 
Users can easily switch between three unique water-flow settings. For everyday tasks that require constant, yet low-water flow, such as washing dishes or preparing foods, homeowners can choose new eco-performance standard stream or aerated spray modes.  These settings provide a reduced flow rate of 1.75 gallons per minute (gpm), which translates up to a 32 percent water savings. However, for tasks that require a set amount of water, such as filling a pot or pitcher – they can switch to the fast-fill mode, which flows at the standard 2.2 gpm rate.

For quiet operation and easier maneuverability when rinsing the hard to reach corners of the sink or when reaching outside of the sink area, the pulldown wand offers an ergonomic design with a fiber hose and a ball joint at the end of the wand. Additionally, Lancaster faucets offer Moen’s patented Hydrolock® installation system which connects the faucet and supply lines together with a telltale “click” for a quick, easy and secure connection.

Lancaster faucets are available in LifeShine® Classic Stainless ($239.99*) and Moen’s new Mediterranean Bronze finish ($259.99*), a warm hue that complements many popular metal kitchen accessories.
