Moen ORB or Delta Venetian Bronze?

Moen and Delta name and code their dark bronze finishes differently, so they may not match each other. If you are matching a bronze sink, cabinet hardware or a bathroom faucet, buy from the same maker and check the finish code: ORB for Moen, RB for Delta. Delta’s Amazon titles call the RB finish oil-rubbed bronze, but Delta’s sheets list it by suffix only.

Spray and docking

Both Moens use the Reflex docking system and a Power Boost button for boosted stream and spray. Both Deltas use MagnaTite magnetic docking, Touch-Clean spray holes and ShieldSpray; the Ophelia has a two-function wand and the Capertee a three-function pull-down. Moen lists 1.5 gpm and Delta 1.8 gpm at 60 psi. For more pull-down options, see our pull-down kitchen faucet guide.

Holes, deck and clearance

All four list a 2-1/2-inch maximum deck. The Moens and the Ophelia install through 1 or 3 holes; the Capertee through 1 to 4 holes, with its soap dispenser able to use the fourth. Delta lists 2-1/2 inches of minimum clearance to the backsplash on both of its faucets. Measure from the faucet hole to the wall and to any window before ordering. If you have a spare hole and choose a Moen, see our soap dispenser guide.

Supply lines and cartridges

The Moens list flexible supply lines with 3/8-inch compression fittings and the 1255 Duralast cartridge. The Deltas list 3/8-inch PEX supply lines with compression fittings and a diamond-coated ceramic cartridge, which Delta markets as DIAMOND Seal. Check that your shutoff valves have 3/8-inch compression outlets before you start; if they are old or will not close fully, see our under-sink shutoff valve guide. Moen lists a lifetime limited warranty against leaks, drips and finish defects to the original homeowner, and Delta a lifetime limited warranty on parts and finish for residential buyers.
