Moen 94770 Plug Button And Screw Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Moen 94770 Plug Button and Screw is a genuine Moen replacement part designed for use with various Moen faucet handles. This kit includes a plug button and a set screw, which are essential components for securing and providing a finished appearance to faucet handles. This manual provides instructions for the proper installation and maintenance of these components.

2. Product Overview

The Moen 94770 kit consists of two primary parts: a decorative plug button and a set screw. The plug button typically features a chrome finish or a color indicator (e.g., red for hot, blue for cold) and is designed to snap into place over the set screw. The set screw, often with a blue threadlocker pre-applied, secures the faucet handle to the valve stem.

3. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to install the Moen 94770 Plug Button and Screw:

1. Preparation: Ensure the water supply to the faucet is turned off if you are removing the handle for other repairs. If only replacing the button and screw, turning off the water may not be necessary.
2. Remove Old Components: If an old plug button is present, carefully pry it off using a small, non-marring tool. Use a 7/64ths inch Allen key (not included) to loosen and remove the old set screw from the faucet handle.
3. Position Handle: Place the faucet handle onto the valve stem, ensuring it is correctly aligned for proper operation.
4. Install New Set Screw: Insert the new Moen 94770 set screw into the designated hole on the faucet handle. Using a 7/64ths inch Allen key, carefully tighten the screw. Important: Do not use any other size wrench, as this can strip the screw head, making future removal difficult. Tighten until snug, but do not overtighten.
5. Install New Plug Button: Align the new Moen 94770 plug button over the screw hole on the handle. Press firmly until it snaps securely into place.
6. Test: If the water supply was turned off, turn it back on and test the faucet handle for secure attachment and proper function.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Moen 94770 Plug Button and Screw:

• Cleaning: For chrome finish components, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the plug button to ensure it remains securely seated. If the handle feels loose, gently tighten the set screw using a 7/64ths inch Allen key.

5. Troubleshooting

• Set Screw Does Not Tighten: Ensure you are using the correct 7/64ths inch Allen key. If the screw head is stripped, it may need to be extracted and replaced. Avoid overtightening to prevent stripping.
• Plug Button Does Not Fit: Verify that the Moen 94770 plug button is compatible with your specific Moen faucet handle model. Some Moen handles may require different styles of plug buttons.
• Missing Components: If the kit arrived with a missing plug button or set screw, contact your retailer or Moen customer support for assistance.
