Moen Chateau L4625 low-arc faucet review

Moen's long-running Chateau one-handle centerset faucet: low arc, 4.36 inches of reach, 1.2 gpm WaterSense, ADA compliant, limited lifetime warranty.

What the listing puts in writing

  • One lever handle, low-arc spout, chrome
  • Aerated 1.2 gpm, EPA WaterSense certified
  • Every Moen residential faucet complies with the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and NSF 61
  • ADA compliant, limited lifetime warranty
  • Centerset installation on a 3-hole sink; spout reach 4.36 in; disc valve

A lever on a three-hole sink

Most 4-inch centerset faucets have two handles. The Chateau puts a single lever on the same footprint, so a three-hole sink gets one-hand mixing without new drilling. It is why the model has stayed in Moen’s range so long.

4.36 inches

That is the shortest reach published on this shelf, against 5.32 for the Kohler Willamette and 5.5 for the Moen 6145. On a compact sink it is right. On a wide oval bowl, the stream lands near the back wall of the bowl rather than over the drain, so measure from the faucet hole to the drain before ordering.

The line to read before ordering

This item cannot ship to CA or VT.

Nothing else on the page explains it. California and Vermont have their own lead-content laws for plumbing fittings, and this listing does not document compliance with them. Readers in those two states should look at a faucet whose page names those laws.

What is not stated

No spout height as such, only the 7-inch overall height. No drain among the listed components. No cartridge size.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

  • 1.2 gpm WaterSense, NSF 61 and ADA compliance stated together
  • A single lever on a centerset body, which suits a 3-hole sink without the two-handle look
  • A limited lifetime warranty from the maker

Compromises

  • 4.36 in of reach, the shortest here, so on a wide bowl the water lands near the back
  • The listing says it cannot ship to California or Vermont, without saying why
  • No drain is listed among the components

The questions we get

Why can it not ship to California or Vermont?

The listing states the restriction and gives no reason. Both states have their own lead-content laws for plumbing fittings, and sellers often block shipping there unless a listing documents compliance with them; it is a paperwork question rather than a defect. If you live there, buy a faucet whose listing names those state laws, such as the Pfister Vaneri on this shelf.

Does it include a drain?

The components list gives the bathroom faucet only. Plan on a pop-up drain of the right size for your sink, usually 1-1/4 inch, unless the box you receive says otherwise.

Is a low arc a problem?

Only for tall jobs. A low spout splashes less in a shallow bowl and looks quieter on a small vanity; it leaves less room to rinse a jug. With 4.36 inches of reach, check that the stream will land inside your bowl and not on its back edge.
