Moen137401 Eco-Performance Aerator Flow Restrictor Service Kit for Rothbury or Voss, 1.5 gpm

We had problems with the flow rate in our bathroom sinks -- they were so slow as to be almost unusable. We replaced the aerators on the Moen Brantford bathroom sink faucets with third party aerators and the water ran out almost uncontrollably heavily. Despite no-name manufacturers *claming* that their aerators limit flow, I'm here to tell you that the no-names do NOT regulate the flow of water at any useful level.Enter this Moen aerator. It costs a lot more. A LOT more. But it does truly limit the flow of water making the sink valves easier to use and manage the flow of water.It comes with the tool to remove and tighten the aerator. In case you are wondering, the aerators are of the 18.5mm variety. For some reason Moen didn't want to provide that information -- just the styles they are compatible with -- and my model was not listed. The first Moen-branded aerator that I ordered a few weeks ago said it could be used with my faucet, but it was too big.

Easy to use and made our faucet work like new again!

Fit and perform perfectly

I bought this to get the tool to remove the current aerator on our new Voss faucets because the water flow was seriously lacking. It worked for that but, unfortunately, the lack of flow had to do with the 1.2 GPM rating for the faucet and there was no debris to clean. HOWEVER, the bonus was the aerator included with the kit - it’s 1.5 GPM and is a perfect replacement to make the faucets work as they should. Couldn’t be more pleased!

I bought a couple of these, and they work just like the original aerators did when they were new. But it looks like this aerator is mass produced and fits other brands as well. For example, I ordered an American Standard M922882-0070A 1.5GPM PCA Chache Aerator W-Key-18.5X1, which also fits my Moen faucets and looks identical to the moen aerator down to the blue gasket, and which costs less than half as much.

Excellent part of Moen. Can be installed easily

Moen lists a different aerator kit -- different model number and different size! -- for the Adler sink faucet. But THIS is the one that fits that faucet!(Note, this is the two-handle 4-inch center set bathroom faucet -- apparently other Moen faucets *with the same model name* don't use the same size aerator! GENIUSES.)I came across another reviewer here on Amazon who had success using this kit, also for the supposedly "wrong" model of Moen faucet, so I gave it a try. Perfect!"Hidden" aerators like this are tricky, requiring installation keys, etc. But if you're patient, you can get it to fit, remove the original aerator and install the new one. The aerator in this kit is visually identical to the one we removed from our Adler faucet, and of course works better because the old one was clogged. Very happy to get this solved. Thanks to that Amazon reviewer!

After several years, the flow from our Voss faucets had slowed considerably and the aeration in one was very bad. After installing these new parts, the flow is great again. Be careful with aligning the tool properly as it is hard to see (a mirror helps). The threads are standard so turn counter-clockwise to uninstall and clockwise to install. Don't overtighten.
