Default faucet/sink quality

I put the Moen fixtures (bought from the same plumbing supplier) in my
recently redone bathrooms and like them very much. Haven't had a
repair issue yet (knock wood), but glad to hear that the service is
good. Good idea on the test run.

Perhaps I will check out Moen's kitchen faucets as well.


Moen is good, and you might want to look at faucets with ceramic disk
valves. I have used American Standard and they have been excellent. I like
the ceramic disk because they work really smooth, and in my bathroom where I
put the first one 7 years ago I have had zero drips.

I would avoid the cheaper lines like Delta, Price Phister etc.

12 years ago I replaced the shower valve with a Price Phister, and have had
to rebuild it completely twice now including the handles stems and seats.

Another thing I would suggest when you are going to all the work, swap out
the supply valves. I really like the new 1/4 turn ball valve style.
