    February 2007 - North Olmsted, Ohio - Homeowners can now add a touch of distinction to their kitchens with Moen® Incorporated's new Adeline™ kitchen cathedral faucet. Available at The Home Depot and Menard's, the transitionally styled, high-arc faucet provides an attractive design to meet the needs of any kitchen décor.

    The transitionally styled, high-arc faucet provides an attractive design to meet the needs of any kitchen décor.

    The new single-handle kitchen faucet offers a simple, yet distinct design, with a subtle hourglass shape at the base of the spout and handle. The high-arc cathedral spout provides added style, while also allowing users to easily fill large pots and pans. An accompanying sidespray further assists in cleaning dishes, rinsing the sink or reaching objects outside of the sink area. Additionally, a coordinating soap/lotion dispenser adds value and convenience.

    "As 38 percent of today's consumers prefer transitional décor we wanted to increase Moen's style options available at home improvement retailers," said Kelly Atkins, Moen's director of retail marketing. "With the Adeline faucet, we can offer consumers an attractive faucet with the assurance of Moen's high quality and reliability."

    The Adeline kitchen cathedral faucet provides value as a four-hole installation without the need for an escutcheon, or cover plate. It is offered at The Home Depot in a Chrome finish and at Menard's in a Chrome or LifeShine® Stainless finish. Both offer a lifetime limited warranty.
