Moen Commercial M-DURA Chrome Two-Handle 4-Inch Centerset Utility or Laundry Faucet, 8277

Moen 8277 Commercial M-DURA 4-Inch Centerset Utility Faucet, ChromeThis faucet is of superb quality – I have three of them.- At 3.5 pounds, it weighs twice as much as the Delta faucet it replaced.- Solid cast brass body, spout, handles and highly polished chrome. The cast base is 1/16" thick for example, compared to paper thin on most faucets of this type.- Standard size (½" NPT) threaded receivers for hot & cold water extend 2.5" below the faucet body, similar to most faucets of this type.- The thick cast brass handles on my faucets have a blue H or red C in 3-D for instant sight and touch recognition (current models have a stick-on label).- If a hose is attached, you can tell if a valve is open by the handle location – which you can’t do with rounded handles.- Unrestricted water flow – i.e., this faucet has no aerator or restricting-washer to reduce flow volume. Perfect for quickly filling buckets. After-market aerators are available from Amazon, if needed. For maximum water flow/volume applications, use ½” inside diameter or larger piping and supply lines up to the faucet base. At 64-PSI in our house, large feeder lines result in 6.6 gallons per minute from one faucet when full on. That’s one gallon every 9 seconds.On another valve, I used a typical faucet braided stainless steel flexible supply line with a 5/16" inside diameter. That results in 3.3 gallons per minute flow from one faucet full on, or one gallon every 18 seconds.- Nozzle end has male garden hose threads; and more threads than cheaper faucets – for attaching hoses, aerators, or other accessories.- Includes a thick molded dense-foam “washer” between the body and sink to prevent water from seeping underneath. A tiny tube of clear silicone seal is included if caulking the faucet body edge is desired. Most faucets include a thin plastic or nylon seal for under the faucet body.- A customer Image of our garage maple counter-top shows two of these Moens, one on the sink and one for the garden hose. Supply lines on both faucets are ½" ID. Another customer image shows the faucet bottom and mounting hardware. An included brass clip (not shown) can be installed for fixed (non-spout-swivel) installations. A stainless steel valve cartridge removing tool is also included, if you live long enough to need it. The compression washers that go against the counter bottom are stainless steel and the supplied nuts are solid brass – most of the competition uses plastic for these parts.Note: the faucet spout comes with a ½" wide “rubber band” near the lower nut. Its purpose is to prevent the bottom nut from moving upward and scratching the chrome prior to installation. After installation, it can be removed. The instructions should clarify that point.I have installed at least a hundred faucets in my life and this might be the highest quality model of any of them.

Wow. I’m so surprised at how much better this faucet is than the one it replaced on our utility sink. It has a substantial-feeling, easy, smooth operation that surprises me every time. Funny that I smile every time I use such a common, utilitarian piece of equipment. Worth the price.

Great faucet!! Love it.

I replaced an old brass faucet on a very old concrete laundry tub, the old faucet one was leaking and was almost 100% limed up. This faucet puts out the water in a hurry. I filled up my three-gallon bucket in 21 seconds with only the cold tap open, that works out to about 8.5 gal/minute. With both the hot and the cold taps wide open I filled up that same bucket in about 15 seconds. You do the math. The threaded spout makes hooking up a garden hose a snap. This is a heavy, all metal faucet which weighs 3 pounds. My 60 year old brass faucet weighed 3.7 pounds so not much quality weight is lost over sixty years. It was easy to install and looks great. It's a MOEN and that means quality. Buy it. You won't regret it.

This thing is the GOAT of utility sink faucets. Solid as a tank.

Great flow, sturdy construction, quality faucet. Easy installation.

I had to replace my rusty old deepsink faucet & this product is perfect. It came with everything I needed.

The utility room had a Moen pull out faucet. A great faucet but we needed to attach a hose to wash off the dogs. It's nice to have the warm water to rinse off the four legged tail waggers.And, those Moen single hole pull out faucets do not seem to have any possible adapter to allow for a garden hose hook up.So, drilled two holes in the SS sink and installed this faucet.I bought the necessary 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch faucet connectors at the local hardware store.Installation was relatively easy. Now, I have a faucet with a garden hose outlet.Two comments:1.) The red/blue hot cold marking are not really needed. Everyone knows left is hot and right is cold.2.) The outlet length is a little short for a large utility sink. I would have liked a higher spout and longer length. Not a deal breaker, just an observation.
