Specifications

Setup and Installation

This hardware set is designed for easy installation. A template and all necessary mounting hardware are included. For best results and secure mounting, it is recommended to install the fixtures into a wall stud where possible. If installing into drywall without a stud, ensure proper drywall anchors are used to support the weight and usage.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Drill
• Pencil
• Level
• Measuring Tape
• Stud Finder (recommended)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Area: Choose the desired location for each accessory. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs if possible.
2. Position Template: Place the provided installation template on the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the drill points through the template with a pencil.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on whether you are drilling into a stud or using drywall anchors. Refer to the specific instructions on the included mounting hardware for correct drill bit size.
4. Install Mounting Brackets: Secure the mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws. If using drywall anchors, insert them into the pilot holes before securing the screws.
5. Attach Accessories: Align each accessory (towel bar, towel ring, toilet paper holder) with its corresponding mounting bracket. Secure the accessory to the bracket using the small set screw, typically located on the underside of the accessory's base. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
6. Final Check: Gently tug on each installed accessory to ensure it is securely fastened to the wall.

Operating Instructions

The Moen Preston Bath Hardware Set is designed for straightforward use:

• Towel Bar: Hang bath towels or hand towels over the bar.
• Towel Ring: Ideal for hanging hand towels or washcloths.
• Toilet Paper Holder: The open-arm design allows for easy replacement of toilet paper rolls. Simply slide the old roll off and slide a new roll onto the arm.

Care and Maintenance

To maintain the beautiful finish and extend the life of your Moen Preston Bath Hardware Set, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
• Drying: After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Scratches: Do not use scouring pads or brushes that could scratch the finish.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Moen Preston Bath Hardware Set, consider the following:

• Loose Accessory: If an accessory feels loose, check the set screw on the underside of its base. Tighten it gently with a Phillips head screwdriver. Ensure the mounting bracket is still securely fastened to the wall.
• Scratches/Damage: Minor scratches on the brushed nickel finish may sometimes be buffed out with a very fine, non-abrasive polishing cloth designed for brushed metals. For significant damage, contact Moen customer support.
• Installation Issues: If you have difficulty during installation, double-check that the pilot holes are correctly sized for the anchors/screws and that the mounting brackets are level and flush with the wall.
