4.2 Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink deck is clean and free of debris. The Moen CA84440SRN is a widespread faucet, requiring three holes in the sink deck.
2. Install the Faucet Spout: Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the faucet spout. Insert the spout through the center hole in the sink deck. From underneath, secure it with the provided washer and mounting nut. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final snug turn.
3. Install the Handles: Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant to the bases of the hot and cold handle assemblies. Insert each handle through its respective side hole in the sink deck. Secure from underneath with washers and mounting nuts.
4. Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from your wall stops to the corresponding inlets on the faucet handles. Ensure connections are tight but do not overtighten.
5. Connect Handle to Spout: Connect the flexible supply lines from the handle assemblies to the main spout assembly. Refer to the diagram for correct hot and cold connections.
6. Install Drain Assembly (if applicable): Follow the separate instructions provided with your drain assembly. Ensure a watertight seal with plumber's putty or silicone sealant.
7. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Run the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris and recheck for leaks.
