North Olmsted, Ohio…Look no further for the perfect contemporary kitchen faucet than the new Align™ suite from Moen. This modern-styled collection of faucets features sleek and streamlined components that offer a visually harmonious design, while also offering advanced performance benefits for a pleasurable experience at the sink.

Align faucets feature high-arc spouts that are complemented by geometric handles, emphasizing the simplicity and elegance of the design.

The single-hole installation fits cleanly against solid-surface and natural-material countertops that are popular in today’s kitchens.

The full line of faucets has products to meet every contemporary style and functional need, with single-handle standard and pulldown kitchen faucets and pulldown bar/prep models available. The kitchen pulldown and bar/prep models not only feature Moen’s innovative Reflex®technology,providing self-retraction of the wand, but the spout is also designed with a streamlined appearancefor a sleek, consistent look on the body of the faucet. The two-function pulldown wand allows users to switch the water flow from aerated stream to spray with the push of a button, providing added convenience. Another thoughtfully designed element in the Align collection is the optimized handledesign, for maximum handle-to-backsplash clearance, assuring a full range of temperature control even when installed near the backsplash.

The 1255® Duralast® cartridge, which provides a consistently smooth handle feel, is included in all faucets in the Align kitchen collection. Flexible supply lines also allow for quick and easy installation.

The Align kitchen suite is offered in two finish options: Chrome and Spot Resist™ Stainless, which resists potential water spots and fingerprints to maintain a brilliant finish. Align kitchen faucets are ADA compliant and offer a limited lifetime warranty.*
