Setup and Installation

Pre-Installation Considerations:

• This faucet is designed for deck-mounted installation with two holes.
• Valve Compatibility: Ensure your existing or new valve system is compatible with Moen T623 trim. Older Moen valves may not be compatible with newer Moen trim kits, requiring a valve replacement. Consult Moen's compatibility charts or a professional plumber if uncertain.
• Gather necessary tools: adjustable wrench, pipe wrench, screwdriver, plumber's putty or silicone sealant, tape measure, and thread seal tape.

Installation Steps:

1. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate and turn off the main water supply to your bathroom. Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure.
2. Remove Old Faucet (if applicable): Disconnect water lines and mounting nuts from the underside of the deck. Carefully lift and remove the old faucet. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.
3. Install Valve Body (if new installation): Follow the specific instructions provided with your Moen valve body for proper installation into the deck. Ensure it is securely fastened and level.
4. Install 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 deck. From underneath, secure the spout with the provided washer and mounting nut. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final snug turn, being careful not to overtighten.
5. Install Faucet Handles: Place the handle bases over the side holes in the deck. Connect the hot and cold water lines to the corresponding valve inlets according to the valve body instructions. Secure the handles from underneath with their respective washers and mounting nuts. Attach the handle levers to the stems.
6. Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from your home's plumbing to the appropriate inlets on the valve body. Use thread seal tape on threaded connections and tighten securely with a wrench.
7. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, gently tighten the connections until they stop.
8. Flush Faucet: Remove the aerator (if present) from the spout. Turn on both hot and cold water to full flow for several minutes to flush out any debris from the lines. Turn off the water, reattach the aerator.

Operating Instructions

The Moen T623 faucet features two lever handles for controlling water flow and temperature.

• Turning On/Off: Lift the lever handles to turn on the water. Push them down to turn off the water.
• Adjusting Temperature: The left handle controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles to achieve the desired water temperature.
• Adjusting Flow: The height to which you lift the handles controls the water flow rate.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Faucet:

• To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
• Use only mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that could damage the finish.
• Dry the faucet with a soft towel after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Aerator Maintenance:

• If water flow decreases or becomes erratic, the aerator may be clogged.
• Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout.
• Rinse any debris from the screen. For stubborn mineral deposits, soak the aerator in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.
• Reattach the aerator, ensuring it is securely tightened.

Troubleshooting

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Moen customer support or a qualified plumber.
