Setup and Installation
Pre-Installation Steps
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your home or the shut-off valves under the sink. Turn them off completely.
- Remove Old Faucet: If replacing an existing faucet, disconnect the water supply lines and remove the old faucet and drain assembly. Clean the sink surface thoroughly.
- Inspect Components: Unpack all new faucet components and inspect them for any damage. Ensure all parts listed in the "Package Contents" section are present.
Faucet Installation
- Install Gaskets: Place the rubber gaskets onto the base of the faucet spout and handles.
- Position Faucet: Insert the faucet spout and handle shanks through the corresponding holes in the sink or countertop. Ensure the faucet is centered and aligned.
- Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, thread the mounting nuts onto the shanks and tighten them securely by hand. Use a basin wrench if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet valve. Use thread seal tape on the threads and tighten with an adjustable wrench. Connect the other ends to your home's water supply valves.
- Install Drain Assembly: Follow the instructions provided with the drain assembly. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the drain flange before inserting it into the sink drain hole. Secure the drain body from underneath the sink.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections as needed.
- Flush Faucet: Remove the aerator from the spout. Turn on both hot and cold water to flush out any debris from the lines. Run water for a few minutes, then turn off and reattach the aerator.

- Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to activate hot water.
- Temperature Adjustment: Mix hot and cold water by adjusting both handles simultaneously to achieve the desired temperature.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the finish and performance of your Moen faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that can damage the chrome finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Hard Water: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits can build up. Regular cleaning helps prevent this. For stubborn deposits, use a solution of white vinegar and water, applied with a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
