Setup and Installation
Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary tools and that the water supply to your faucet is turned off. Refer to your faucet's original installation guide for specific instructions on removing the old spray head and hose.
Tools Required:
- Adjustable wrench
- Towel or bucket (to catch drips)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Area: Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves located under the sink. Open the faucet handle to relieve any remaining water pressure.
- Remove Old Assembly: Disconnect the old spray head and hose assembly from the faucet. This typically involves unscrewing the spray head from the hose and then disconnecting the hose from the main water line or faucet body. Note the type of connection for reference.
- Connect New Hose: Attach the new Moen 136103C hose to the faucet's water supply connection. Ensure the Hydrolock connection clicks securely into place. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench for a quarter turn if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
- Attach Spray Head: Screw the new spray head onto the end of the hose. Hand-tighten until snug.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, gently tighten the connections.
- Test Functionality: Turn on the faucet and test the spray head's functionality, including spray patterns and retraction.
Important: If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber.
Operating Instructions
The Moen 136103C Spray Head and Hose Assembly is designed for simple operation.
- Activating Water Flow: Use your faucet's handle to turn the water on and off, and to adjust temperature and flow rate.
- Spray Function: The spray head typically features a button or switch to toggle between stream and spray modes. Press this control to select your desired water output.
- Retraction: After use, the hose is designed to retract smoothly back into the faucet body. Ensure there are no obstructions under the sink that could hinder its movement.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your Moen spray head and hose assembly.
Cleaning the Finish:
- Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Cleaning the Spray Nozzles:
- Over time, mineral deposits can accumulate in the spray nozzles, affecting water flow.
- Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any mineral buildup.
- For stubborn deposits, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be applied to the nozzles for a few minutes before scrubbing.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Mineral buildup in spray nozzles. | Clean spray nozzles as described in the Maintenance section. |
| Leaking at Connections | Loose connection or damaged O-ring. | Ensure all connections are tight. Check O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Hose Not Retracting | Obstruction under the sink or weight not properly positioned. | Clear any obstructions. Ensure the hose weight is correctly installed and positioned to allow smooth retraction. |
| Spray Mode Not Working | Debris in the spray head mechanism. | Remove the spray head and inspect for debris. Rinse thoroughly. |
