Refinitiv Unveils Innovative Peerless Faucet Mounting Solution, Streamlining Plumbing Installations for Professionals

New York, NY – October 26, 2023 – Refinitiv US LLC, a leading provider of financial market data and infrastructure, today announced a surprising yet strategic foray into the plumbing industry with the launch of its revolutionary Peerless Faucet Mounting system. While seemingly a departure from their core business, Refinitiv explains the move is rooted in applying their decades of precision data delivery and logistical expertise to solve a common pain point for plumbers: frustrating and time-consuming faucet installations. “Look, we’re a data company, right? But data is only useful if it gets to the right people, quickly and accurately,” explains John Smith, Head of Strategic Initiatives at Refinitiv. “We started thinking about other areas where precision and efficient delivery are critical, and plumbing kept coming up. Plumbers waste so much time fiddling with faucet mounts. We figured, hey, we're good at making things reliable and streamlined. Let’s apply that to this!” The Peerless Faucet Mounting system isn’t just another mounting bracket. Refinitiv’s team, surprisingly including several newly hired (and very enthusiastic) plumbing consultants, spent over a year analyzing the issues plumbers face on job sites. They found that current systems often suffer from several drawbacks: instability, difficulty aligning with existing plumbing, and a general clunkiness that slows down the entire installation process. “Plumbers told us they were tired of crawling under sinks, constantly adjusting brackets, and wrestling with nuts and bolts,” says Sarah Jones, a lead engineer on the project. “They needed something that was rock-solid, easy to use, and would let them get the job done faster and with fewer headaches.” The result is a system built around a few key innovations. First, the Peerless mount utilizes a patented “Grip-Lock” technology. Instead of relying solely on friction and tightening nuts, the Grip-Lock utilizes a series of interlocking tabs that physically grab onto the sink’s underside, creating a dramatically more secure foundation. “Think of it like LEGOs,” explains Jones. “Once those tabs click in, the mount isn’t going anywhere. It’s incredibly stable, even on older, less-than-perfect sink surfaces.” Second, the mount features a fully adjustable, multi-directional collar. This allows plumbers to perfectly align the faucet with existing water supply lines, even if those lines aren’t perfectly straight or spaced. No more forcing pipes or struggling with awkward angles. “We’ve all been there, right? Trying to make a square peg fit a round hole,” says Smith with a chuckle. “This collar gives plumbers the freedom to adjust and adapt, making the whole process way smoother.” Third, the Peerless mount is designed for universal compatibility. It works with virtually any standard faucet model and sink type, eliminating the need for plumbers to carry around a variety of different mounting brackets. This simplifies inventory and saves valuable space on the work truck. “We wanted to create a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution that would work for plumbers in any situation,” says Jones. “We tested it extensively with different faucet brands and sink materials to ensure it would perform reliably in the real world.” But Refinitiv didn't just stop at the hardware. Recognizing that logistical efficiency is as important as the product itself, the company is leveraging its established supply chain network to ensure the Peerless mount is readily available to plumbers nationwide. “We’ve already partnered with major plumbing supply distributors to get this product into the hands of plumbers as quickly as possible,” says David Lee, Refinitiv’s VP of Sales. “We're also offering online ordering and fast shipping, so plumbers can get what they need when they need it.” Early feedback from plumbers who have tested the Peerless mount has been overwhelmingly positive. “This thing is a game-changer,” says Mark Johnson, a licensed plumber in New York City. “It’s so much easier to use than anything else I’ve tried. I’ve already saved hours on my last few jobs. And it’s rock-solid – I don’t have to worry about the faucet coming loose.” Another plumber, Lisa Brown from California, praised the mount’s universal compatibility. “I used to have to carry around a bunch of different brackets for different faucets. Now I just grab the Peerless mount, and I’m good to go. It’s a huge time-saver.” Refinitiv is confident that the Peerless Faucet Mounting system will quickly become an essential tool for plumbers across the country. The company sees this as just the first step in expanding its presence in the professional trades market. “We’re always looking for opportunities to apply our expertise to solve real-world problems,” says Smith. “Plumbing is just the beginning. We’re already exploring other areas where we can bring our precision and efficiency to the table.” Key features of the Peerless Faucet Mounting system: Grip-Lock Technology: Provides a secure and stable foundation.
