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, Chrome This 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.

I searched all the big box stores for a utility sink faucet, but none of them had any in stock. Amazon had the best selection along with next day shipping. The Moen faucet was more expensive than the other brands, but it's worth the extra cost. Everything on this faucet is heavy duty and you won't find any plastic on it. The faucet’s spigot allows for a solid connection of a garden hose if needed, this is great when you want to clean something in the yard with hot or warm temperature water. The water flow from this faucet is excellent and has no restrictions. Read more

Right from the box one can see that this is no ordinary faucet. It's very hefty and solid. The valves are smooth and positive with no backlash or play, and I really like that they can be operated with even one's elbow. The installation was a snap (due in my instance to the fact that I was replacing a similar, but cheap, faucet, which simplified the plumbing, and I could remove the free-standing utility sink easily to access the mounting nuts). One quibble: there were parts included that were not mentioned in the instructions, specifically a tube of something (O-ring lubricant, it happens), a neoprene band around the spout, and a flat spanner (used to install an aerator, which this faucet lacks due to its having garden hose threads). I installed the spout to swing, so did not evaluate the fixed spout option. Read more

A nice, simple, heavy weight metal faucet with threaded spout end to accommodate a hose. Operates smoothly and easily. Utility sink faucets can take a beating and this one should stand up to it. Read more

I just finished installing this faucet on a plastic utility sink. This is my first faucet install. (I'm a lady wanting to learn to install my own plumbing fixtures :) )It was so simple and easy to install. All the parts were provided ( except supply lines of course) and the instructions were clear. I can't believe the smooth action of the levers. You can turn the water on and off with one finger! The faucet itself is very high quality. It was very heavy and feels really sturdy. It does not come with an attached aerator which is okay with me. I like a good strong water flow in a utility sink. You can fill a bucket up much faster. I ordered this Prime and it arrived in day with free shipping. I am so happy with this purchase! Read more

I bought this for a utility sink in our horse stable. I have attached it to a 100ft stainless covered hose. This faucet has a strong flow and with the hose attached I can reach everywhere I need to go. I fill up water buckets, wash horses and dogs spray the aisleway. So convenient. This is a high recommend.!!!!! Read more
