5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your new faucet:
- Prepare the Installation Area:

- Remove the old faucet and clean the sink surface thoroughly.
- Install the Faucet Body:
- Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the faucet.
- Insert the faucet body through the holes in the sink deck. The faucet is designed for 4-inch centerset installations.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet with the provided mounting nuts and washers. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench to snug them, ensuring the faucet is straight. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines:
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to the corresponding shut-off valves. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections, but do not overtighten.
- Ensure the hot water line connects to the hot water valve and the cold water line to the cold water valve.
- Install the Drain Assembly:
- Follow the specific instructions provided with your drain assembly. Typically, this involves applying plumber's putty to the flange, inserting it into the sink drain hole, and securing it from underneath with a washer and nut.
- Connect the lift rod to the drain stopper mechanism according to the drain assembly instructions.
- Test for Leaks:
- Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves.
- Check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections slightly until the leak stops.
- Operate the faucet handles to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.
6. Operating Instructions
The Moen Banbury WS84913SRN faucet features two lever handles for precise control of water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow: Turn the handles counter-clockwise to increase water flow and clockwise to decrease or shut off.
- Temperature Control: The left handle controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles to achieve the desired water temperature.
- Drain Stopper: Use the lift rod located behind the faucet spout to open and close the drain stopper.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and performance of your Moen Banbury faucet, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Spot Resist Finish: The Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes containing alcohol, ammonia, or bleach, as these can damage the finish.
- Gentle Cleaning: For stubborn spots, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
- Aerator Cleaning: Periodically unscrew the aerator from the spout and rinse out any debris to maintain optimal water flow.
8. Troubleshooting
