Setup and Installation

The Moen 8360 transfer valve is designed for wall-mounted installation. Ensure that the rough-in plumbing is correctly positioned according to the product's specifications. The valve's inlets and outlets are on the same plane, which can simplify pipe routing.

Installation Steps (General Guidelines):

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the wall cavity is clear and properly sized for the valve body.
2. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate and shut off the main water supply to the installation area.
3. Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated inlets on the valve body. Connect the outlet lines to the desired fixtures (e.g., showerhead, hand shower, tub spout).
4. Secure the Valve: Mount the valve body securely to the wall framing using appropriate fasteners.
5. Install Trim Kit: Once the rough-in is complete and tested, install the escutcheon and handle according to the trim kit instructions. Ensure the handle operates smoothly and aligns with the function indicators.
6. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks.

Note: Specific installation instructions for the rough-in valve and trim kit are typically provided with those components. Always refer to those detailed instructions for precise measurements and procedures.

Operating Instructions

The Moen 8360 transfer valve features a lever-style handle with detents at each flow position, making it easy to select the desired water outlet.

To Operate:

• Select Function: Rotate the lever handle to align with the desired function indicator on the escutcheon. The handle will click into place at each detent, indicating a selected position.
• Function 1: Typically for the primary shower outlet (e.g., showerhead).
• Function 2: For a secondary outlet (e.g., hand shower).
• Function 3: For a third outlet (e.g., tub spout or body sprays).

Note: The specific assignment of functions (1, 2, 3) to your installed outlets depends on how the valve was plumbed during installation.
