The Boardwalk combines vintage art-deco design with WaterSense-certified 1.2 GPM flow efficiency. At 1.2 GPM (4.5 L/min) at 60 psi, this centerset faucet delivers water conservation without sacrificing performance for Montana contractors focused on meeting federal standards.
Water Conservation & Certifications
The 1.2 GPM flow rate makes the Boardwalk WaterSense certified, alongside NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 compliance for safe drinking water and lead-free construction. It meets California AB-1953 and Vermont S-152 standards.
For Montana communities managing water resources, that 1.2 GPM rating represents a 40% reduction from standard 2.0 GPM faucets. The certifications matter for commercial projects where compliance documentation gets scrutinized.
| Certification | Purpose |
|---|---|
| WaterSense | Federal water efficiency standard |
| NSF/ANSI 61 | Safe drinking water contact |
| NSF/ANSI 372 | Lead-free verification |
| California AB-1953 | Lead content compliance |
| Vermont S-152 | Additional lead standards |
Installation Specifications & Durability
The Boardwalk mounts on standard 4-inch (102mm) centerset, 3-hole configurations with 1/2-inch IPS connections. It’s designed for standard vanity tops with the faucet assembly arriving with handles and spout pre-assembled on the base. A metal or plastic pop-up drain assembly with lift rod comes included.
The low-arc design features a 4.60-inch (117mm) spout reach — practical for residential bathrooms without clearance issues. Metal construction with Spot Resist coating handles Montana’s hard water better than standard chrome finishes that show every mineral deposit.
The 1224 Duralast cartridge drives the valve mechanism. This art-deco inspired design blends vintage aesthetics with classic lines, distinguishing it from Moen’s modern collections.
Unlike Moen’s Align series with its modern minimalist approach, or the squared-off traditional Voss, or the organic petal-like Eva design, Boardwalk features rounded, twisted details with geometric architectural lines.
Warranty Coverage
Moen backs the Boardwalk with their Limited Lifetime Warranty covering leaks, drips, and finish defects for as long as the original purchaser owns their home. Multi-family installations get 10 years coverage; commercial use receives 5 years.
That warranty structure reflects real-world use patterns. Single-family homes see gentler use than apartment buildings or commercial restrooms. The coverage acknowledges that difference.
Customer reviews range from approximately 3.1 to 4.1 out of 5.0 stars depending on retailer. Users praise the elegant appearance and simple installation but report handles can become stiff after several years and finish may peel in harsh water conditions. Replacement cartridges may be needed after 5-7 years.
