I have always had faucets installed professionally by plumbers... they *always* recommend Moen as a brand... for me, it is only the Moen brand faucets that last years without any need for repairs. This is a *TRIM KIT*... Many different plumbing manufacturers will make their items as two separate pieces, one piece is the trim kit and another piece is the valve or rough in valve. Some manufacturers may even sell the handle seperate. The trim kit is the finished piece that is mounted on top of the sink (faucet) or on the wall (shower kit).

Here's what else you will need...

We put this Moen faucet into two separate bathrooms - one oil-rubbed bronze and one brushed nickel. Yes, I would recommend a plumber, and yes, you'll need the inner workings beyond what's in this kit. That being said, this is a good set and looks great in either finish. I'd give a slight advantage to the brushed nickel option, only because we have some concerns about whether the oil-rubbed bronze finish may be lightening a little bit on top of the spout, after about 10 months of constant use. I would definitely be careful when cleaning it to avoid scuffing it. I still recommend it (would give it 3.5 stars if I could), you just need to be aware that the oil-rubbed bronze finish may be a bit more unforgiving if not cleaned gently.

The directions were understandable, and the parts fit together in such a way that you really couldn't make any assembly mistakes that weren't immediatley obvious. The oil-rubbed bronze is a perfect match to our black and white granite countertop. My only complaint is that I couldn't get the drain-stopper to float perfectly level with the sink drain. Not a big deal, and has no effect on functionality, but little things like that bother me.

Moen is a name you can trust, and this oil rubbed bronze color really updated all of our bathrooms. It is a trim kit. the reviewer who mentioned it does not have "all you need" must not have understood. it has the faucet, both handles AND the drain assembly. It is intended to replace a faucet you already have. if you have no faucet and are starting from scratch you will need all the internal plumbing.... ie: the full meal deal kit which costs around $330. if you are swapping out your old faucets for these this is what you need.

Description is misleading. this does not have everything you need to install. When they say it fits M-Pact system I presume they mean that you actually have to purchase this seperately, but they don't tell you this. All you get is what is in the picture - handles and a spout, no pipes, no fittings...go to a hardware store and buy a faucet so you can check that you get everything you need.

BEWARE! This is only the outside trapping. You must buy all the additional hose/pipes/connectors needed to install this. This is only the outside covering. For someone who is a layman, I did not know what a "trim kit" was. Which is why I gave 2 stars. The "trim kit" itself is very nice, solid, rich looking.
