[C320-list] FW: New 320 faucet

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Ray,



You were lucky to find that model (87315) at your Lowes. I can't find anything like that from Moen at that price at our Lowes (and Moen make some items faucet right here in New Bern) or on the Lowes website. Would you be willing to buy up the remaining stock for myself and others who might be interested?



Another alternative (with free shipping) is...

It appears that the 67315 is a bulk pack and the 87315 is the individual packaged retail unit. There are 3 finishes:

87315 has the white pullout

87315BC has a brushed chrome pullout

87315C has a polished chrome pullout (aka the MarkII)

It also appears that Catalina removed the Deck Escutcheon for a cleaner mounting look. Were you able to do that?

Subject: [C320-list] New 320 faucet



I upgraded my 320 galley faucet today with what appears to be the same one <br>now used on the MKII.<br><br>I checked out the Moen web site, and it looks like model 67315 is what <br>Catalina is now using.  After searching the web, I found out that Lowes <br>Hardware carried that model, so I went to the store to check it out.  They <br>only had the model 87315, but it looked identical to what I had seen on the <br>web and looks just like the one in the 320 galley photograph on our web <br>site.  I purchased it for about $80.<br><br>I spent the afternoon on the project - most of the time was spent shopping <br>for the faucet and the water hoses that I had to purchase.  After removing <br>the drawers and cabinet below the sink (5 screws), I disconnected the two <br>water feed hoses, and used a basin wrench (~$20) to remove the original <br>faucet.  A pair of channel lock pliers probably would have worked too, but <br>the basin wrench really made it easy.  Actual work time was 
probably only <br>around an hour.<br><br>I bought two 12-inch water feed hoses with a 3/8 fitting on one side, and <br>1/2 on the other.  The original hoses had 3/8 fittings on both ends - the <br>new faucet has 1/2 inch fittings.<br><br>It looks and works great!<br><br>Ray Durand, Bellezza #822<br>Marina del Rey<br><br><br><br><br>
