Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your toilet paper holder. A template and mounting hardware are included to assist with installation.
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Choose a suitable location on your wall. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the provided template to mark the precise drilling points on the wall. If no template is available, measure 5 and 3/4 inches (approximately 14.6 cm) between the centers of the mounting plates for a snug fit of the roller. Use a level to ensure marks are aligned horizontally.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. For drywall without studs, use 1/4 inch plastic anchors (not always included, may need to be purchased separately). For wood studs, use a 1/8 inch drill bit.
- Attach Mounting Plates: Secure the mounting plates to the wall using the screws provided. Ensure they are firmly attached.
- Install the Holder: Align the toilet paper holder with the mounted plates and secure it. There may be minor adjustments possible before fully tightening the screws.

Operating Instructions

- Removing an Empty Roll: Grasp the spring-loaded roller and compress one end. Pull the roller out of the holder.
- Installing a New Roll: Place a new standard toilet paper roll onto the spring-loaded roller. Compress one end of the roller and insert it between the two arms of the holder. Release the compressed end to secure the roll in place.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Moen P5050 toilet paper holder, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary to prevent wobbling.
Troubleshooting
