I wanted to send out an update regarding Gerber Plumbing Fixtures. Gerber will be releasing a fifth finish for the Kinzie and Parma faucet collections in May. The new finish will be Polished Nickel. Gerber will also launch a new family of kitchen and lavatory faucets along with matching shower trim. I have attached images of what the new Montclare family will be. They do show cross handles for the bath image, but the cross handles will not be available until the fourth quarter, but the rest of the collection will be released in late June – early July. Gerber is accepting pre-orders now. The Montclare collection will be available in all five finishes (Chrome, Brushed Nickel/Stainless, Brushed Bronze, Satin Black, and Polished Nickel). Displays can be ordered in May, so you are aware.

2026 Moen Price Band & Literature Update
I’m sharing the 2026 Price Band Identification Sheet, which can also be found in the back of the price book for reference. Please use this sheet to differentiate between 1st‑tier, 2nd‑tier, and Premium products, as well as to identify which items are MAP‑protected. This is also a helpful tool when selling a whole bath or whole house and coordinating accessories.
Regarding literature, Moen will be making a few updates for 2026. The following materials will be available in printed format; however, please note that the MF1319 Style Guide will no longer be printed. If you would like additional 2025 books before they become obsolete, feel free to reach out and I’ll be happy to send some your way.
In place of the Style Guide, we’re introducing a new 8×8 Inspiration Gallery Brochure. This piece provides a streamlined, high‑level view of our collections with a focus on style and inspiration, rather than detailed product specifications.
Literature distribution will begin at the end of April and will take approximately seven business days. If you have not received materials by mid‑May, please let me know and I’ll gladly assist.
Printed materials for 2026 include:
- MF36‑26 Wholesale Price Book
- CFG146‑26 CFG Price Book
- MF1415P‑26 Accessories Price Book (limited quantities)
- MF1415‑26 Commercial Price Book (limited quantities)
- NEW! Moen Inspiration Gallery Brochure

California Faucets 2026 Spring Product Launch
Greetings from beautiful Huntington Beach, California (aka Surf City!). We’re pleased to present our new 2026 Kitchen, Bath, Shower & Luxury Drains Catalog and Price List, effective on Monday, April 20, 2026.
This catalog represents our largest and most extensive yet, chock-full of exciting new products and features. Thanks to your input and feedback over the years, this catalog is easily one of the most user-friendly catalogs in the industry.
Orders will be accepted at current pricing until the end of business at 5 PM PST on Friday, April 17. After the Friday 5PM cutoff, orders will be entered on Monday, April 20 at the new catalog pricing.
Supporting materials are now available for easy download from our websiteDealer Portal. These materials include:
- Updated PDF version of the Catalog
- An Excel spreadsheet with updated pricing and product data
- An Excel spreadsheet with New Product pricing and product data
- A list of discontinued items
Physical catalogs will be available in mid-May and will be hand-delivered by your sales representative.
As you are all aware, the economic environment still has plenty of uncertainty. There is still strong inflationary pressure in our supply chain, raw material costs, energy costs and labor costs. Despite this, the average list pricing will increase by only a modest 4.5%. We carefully review our costs for each item and as a result, selected items may have a slightly greater increase while some items will have no increase at all. We’ve even managed to roll back some prices! This includes CF Limited (K01 Series) kitchen faucets, 9628SS hot water tanks and the Cayucos (40/41 Series) widespread faucets and several other selected items.
Rest assured, even with this modest increase, our pricing remains extremely competitive for our industry segment and continues to represent tremendous value to the consumer for hand-crafted, all-brass, designer fittings.
We’re pleased to introduce several exciting new collections and products, all available for shipment at current estimated lead times. We’re confident that these new products will add value and profit opportunity for you. So, without further ado…
- CAPITOLA™ Collection (87 Series): Created in collaboration with our Italian design partners, the Capitola collection brings European panache and elegance together with our exceptional craftsmanship and fresh vision, to create breathtaking aesthetics. Capitola features clean and fluid design balance with intricate detailing for the most discerning bathroom spaces. Select from two spout options and two handle styles, with further personalization possible with a choice of semi-precious stones, marble or black glass inserts. The semi-precious stones are produced in the small German town of Idar-Oberstein, a center of European stone cutting and lapidary since the 1400s. Here we work with a small family workshop owned by 5th generation brother and sister team of stone cutters to create something truly special. Of course, Capitola is available in all 26 California Faucets’ finishes.
- JALAMA® Collection (39 Series): This popular collection is now updated with a graceful taller arc spout option to better scale with the stately presence of the textured cylinder handles.
- StyleTherm VISTA™: A bold new direction in Thermostatic showering, StyleTherm Vista is the industry’s most complete and most flexible small-format thermostatic system. The fully forged all-brass valve is thoughtfully engineered to provide rugged behind-the-wall durability, while allowing for designer friendly trim that can be installed horizontally or vertically. To keep your inventory lean, only one rough valve needs to be stocked regardless of final installation orientation or number of outlets. The trim plates come in a variety of options and are thoughtfully designed for both beauty, versatility and functionality.
- HARDWARE by California Faucets®: This all-new program features an extensive selection of cabinet and appliance pulls, knobs, and back plate options in a variety of styles, textures and sizes. Our hardware collections now solve a longstanding design pain point—matching hardware finishes to the plumbing. Completely produced and finished side-by-side with California Faucets’ faucet products in our Huntington Beach factory, our expanded hardware selection offers details such as knurling, hammered and pinstripe touches, along with carefully crafted designs that seamlessly match the design of our bath and kitchen fittings. Available in all 26 California Faucets finishes to create a cohesive look for any kitchen or bath.
You don’t have to be a faucet geek like me to know that these new products will both delight your clients and add additional profit to your bottom line. We take considerable pride in what we have created and trust they will resonate strongly with your customers.
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or feedback on these or any other California Faucets product. On behalf of the entire team, I thank you for your ongoing partnership and support.
