The year was 1937. In Seattle, Washington, a college student named Al Moen was working in a garage to earn his tuition money. While cleaning up after work one night, he turned on the old-fashioned two-handle faucet to wash his hands, and a sudden burst of hot water made him jump back in alarm. That set an idea in motion in Al Moen\'s mind that literally changed the world of plumbing and the way much of the world today gets its water -- it gave him the idea for the single-handle faucet. He once said, \"it got me thinking that you ought to be able to get what you wanted out of a faucet. The more I thought about it, the more I was convinced that a single-handle mixing faucet was the answer, so I began to make some drawings.\"
