Setup and Installation
This section provides general guidelines for installing your Moen Adler shower faucet. Specific steps may vary based on your existing plumbing and wall construction. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off the main water supply to your home. Clear the work area and ensure you have all necessary tools and components.
- Install the Posi-Temp Valve: Follow the specific instructions provided with the Posi-Temp valve for proper rough-in installation. Ensure the valve is securely mounted and plumb.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the appropriate inlets on the valve. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Install Shower Arm and Showerhead: Apply plumber's tape to the threads of the shower arm. Thread the shower arm into the wall fitting. Attach the showerhead to the shower arm, tightening by hand and then with a wrench if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
- Install Trim Kit: Place the escutcheon plate over the valve body. Secure it according to the valve instructions. Attach the handle to the valve stem, ensuring it operates smoothly.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet handle to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.

Operating Instructions
The Moen Adler 82604SRN features a single handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- To Turn On/Off: Rotate the handle counter-clockwise to turn on the water. Continue rotating to increase water flow. Rotate clockwise to decrease flow and turn off the water.
- To Adjust Temperature: The handle also controls temperature. Typically, rotating the handle further counter-clockwise will increase the hot water mix, while rotating it clockwise from the 'on' position will increase the cold water mix. The Posi-Temp valve maintains water temperature even if water pressure fluctuates elsewhere in the home.
Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Moen Adler shower faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: The Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Showerhead Nozzles: The showerhead features self-cleaning nozzles. Periodically, gently rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge any mineral buildup. For more stubborn deposits, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clear water.
- General Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of leaks or unusual operation. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shower faucet.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
