they always seem to be built heavy duty and for easy service.

We have put several in over the years in commercial applications, always good and heavy. I have rebuilt a few backsplash mounted 3 compartment faucets at restaurants around here, they were there for years and years under heavy use. I'm not sure if they make residential stuff, or if they did-are they the same quality?

Recently I have had fantastic results with Moen. One client they sent a biscuit pull out spray as a replacement, another white pull out spray free. I was working with a tempering valve and dropped the ceramic piece on the floor and I could not find glue that was good enough to put a million pieces back together. They sent it to me free even after I explained that it was my fault, I dropped it.

When I service Chicago Faucets, I use the ceramic stem units. I love them.

I think when Geberit bought Chi Fcts the residential line, called the Decorator Series (or something like that, can't remember) was eliminated. It was real fancy and real expensive, but high quality.

While I still like their stuff, their quality has gone down hill too, IMO. I'll take a metal handle on your #80 spray head, please.

I was told the #897 mop sink faucet is now made over seas in an effort to be competitive with the Fisher's of the world.
