Cold + Warm = Cool

It seems like ages ago when I first came across this faucet looking for bathroom products for our June issue. Now that summer is (finally!) in full swing, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of this backyard bonus. Moen’s innovative outdoor faucet is the first with only one handle that gives you both hot and cold water. You only need one common line for the water flow (most outdoor hot-cold taps require two) so it’s easy to install, plus it comes with a frost-free cartridge and indoor-outdoor water separation features. The faucet is also family friendly: the temperature can be adjusted easily and there’s an automatic stop feature so it doesn’t burn little ones’ hands.
