Installation Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to ensure proper installation of your Moen Chateau faucet. For a visual guide, refer to the installation video below.

Step 1: Install Drain Assembly

1. Disassemble the drain assembly by removing the top piece and loosening the nut.
2. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange.
3. Insert the drain flange into the sink drain hole from above.
4. From underneath the sink, reattach the rubber gasket and tighten the nut securely to create a watertight seal. Ensure the thumb screw for the stopper rod is facing the back.

Step 2: Install Faucet Body

1. Place the plastic gasket onto the base of the faucet body, ensuring the small hole in the middle aligns with the back.
2. Position the faucet body onto the sink, aligning the water supply tubes with the sink holes.
3. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided flat washer, metal tube, and nuts. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the porcelain.

Step 3: Connect Supply Lines

1. Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding copper pipes extending from the faucet body. The left side is typically hot, and the right side is cold.
2. Hand-tighten the connections, then use an adjustable wrench to tighten them an additional quarter to half turn. Be careful not to twist the copper pipes.

Step 4: Install Drain Stopper

1. Insert the drain stopper into the drain opening from above the sink.
2. From underneath, insert the stopper rod (with the plastic ball) through the D-shaped hole in the drain assembly.
3. Secure the stopper rod with the thumb screw, ensuring it allows the stopper to move freely up and down.
4. Attach the stopper pull rod to the flat piece with multiple holes, using the clip. Adjust the hole selection to achieve the desired stopper height.

Step 5: Connect P-Trap

1. Connect the P-trap to the drain assembly using the appropriate pipe nut and tapered washer (tapered side down).
2. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench to secure them without overtightening.

Step 6: Test for Leaks

1. Turn on the main water supply.
2. Open the faucet and check all connections (faucet base, supply lines, drain assembly, P-trap) for any signs of leaks.
3. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.

Operating Instructions

The Moen Chateau faucet features a single handle for convenient control of water flow and temperature.

Water Flow and Temperature Control:

• To turn the water on, lift the single handle upwards.
• To increase water flow, lift the handle further.
• To adjust water temperature, move the handle to the left for hotter water or to the right for colder water.
• To turn the water off, push the handle downwards.

Drain Stopper:

• To close the drain and fill the sink, pull the small rod located at the back of the faucet upwards.
• To open the drain, push the rod downwards.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your Moen faucet.

Cleaning the Chrome Finish:

• Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Aerator Cleaning:

• If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may need cleaning.
• Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout.
• Rinse any debris from the screen and reattach the aerator.
