Moen 6145 single-hole faucet review

A one-handle single-hole chrome bathroom faucet from Moen, with an escutcheon for 3-hole sinks, 1.2 gpm WaterSense and a limited lifetime warranty.

What the listing puts in writing

  • One handle for temperature and flow; chrome
  • Single-hole mounting, or three holes with the escutcheon included
  • 1.2 gpm, EPA WaterSense; ADA compliant
  • Spout height 5 in, spout reach 5.5 in, 4.4 lb, disc valve
  • Limited lifetime warranty

One hole or three

The escutcheon is the point of this faucet. It turns a 3-hole, 4-inch sink into a one-lever sink without replacing the china, and leaves you free to fit it on a single-hole counter later.

The longest reach here

5.5 inches, against 5.32 for the Kohler Willamette and 4.36 for the Moen Chateau. On a deep oval bowl, that is the difference between water over the drain and water down the back of the bowl.

The contradiction

The spec table says high arc. The description says low-arc design. The published spout height, 5 inches, is the number to trust: a mid-height spout, enough for hands, not for a bucket.

What is not stated

No drain among the components. No lead-free state laws named, though Moen states compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act on its other listings. No cartridge size.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

  • Fits a single-hole counter or a 3-hole sink, with the escutcheon in the box
  • 5.5 in of reach and 5 in of spout height, both published
  • 1.2 gpm WaterSense, ADA compliant, limited lifetime warranty

Compromises

  • Its own page calls the spout high arc in one place and low arc in another
  • No drain listed, and no lead-free state laws named, where the Pfister listings name them
  • At about $105, the dearest single-lever faucet on this shelf for a similar specification

The questions we get

What is the escutcheon for?

It is a plate that sits under the faucet and covers the two unused holes of a 3-hole sink. With it, this one-hole faucet goes on a 4-inch centerset sink; without it, on a single-hole counter. Moen includes it in the box.

Is the spout high or low?

The listing contradicts itself: the spec table says high arc, the description says low arc. The published height is 5 inches, which is a mid-height spout by bathroom standards — enough for hands, not for filling a jug.

Why choose this over the Moen Chateau on this shelf?

Reach and mounting. The 6145 publishes 5.5 inches of reach against 4.36 for the Chateau, so the water lands nearer the middle of a wide bowl, and it can go on a single-hole counter. The Chateau is a few dollars cheaper and sits only on a 3-hole sink.

Against the closest bathroom fittings on price

Same category, nearby prices, between bathroom fittings. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.

Where the models diverge, in bathroom fittings

  • If price decides: Pfister Vaneri single-hole faucet, at $90.
  • Highest Spout reach in the table: Pfister Courant 8 in widespread faucet (8 in in the spec table — a figure the same table also gives as the spout height).
  • Highest Spout height in the table: Pfister Courant 8 in widespread faucet (8 in in the spec table, against an overall height of 7.75 in on the same page: one of the two figures is wrong).
