Setup
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and that the water supply is turned off. The Moen Renzo faucet is designed for either single-hole or three-hole installations, with an optional deckplate included for three-hole configurations.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Sink: Clean the sink area thoroughly. If installing in a three-hole sink, place the optional deckplate over the holes.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the mounting hole(s) on the sink or deckplate. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware and the Duralock quick connect system.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the flexible 3/8" compression fittings from the faucet to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install Spray Hose: Feed the pullout spray hose through the faucet spout. Connect the spray head to the hose.
- Attach Weight: Secure the hose weight to the pullout hose underneath the sink. This ensures smooth retraction of the spray head.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper function of both stream and spray modes.

Operating Instructions
The Moen Renzo faucet features a single handle for controlling both water temperature and flow, along with a pullout spray head offering multiple spray functions.
Basic Operation:

- Pullout Spray Head: Grasp the spray head and pull it out from the spout for extended reach.
- Spray Functions: The spray head features buttons to switch between a steady stream and a powerful spray (Power Clean technology). Press the appropriate button to select your desired spray pattern.
- Retracting the Spray Head: When finished, guide the spray head back into the spout. The hose weight will assist in smooth and complete retraction.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Moen Renzo faucet.
Cleaning:
- Chrome Finish: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Spray Head Nozzles: If water flow becomes irregular, the spray head nozzles may be clogged with mineral deposits. Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup.
General Care:
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect the water supply connections under the sink for any signs of leaks or corrosion.
- Hose Maintenance: Ensure the pullout hose moves freely and is not obstructed by items under the sink.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions for your Moen Renzo faucet.
- Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator or spray head nozzles are clogged with debris or mineral deposits. Clean them as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
- Leaking Faucet: Tighten any loose connections on the supply lines or mounting nut. If leaking persists from the spout, the internal cartridge may need inspection or replacement.
- Spray Head Does Not Retract Smoothly: Check the hose weight under the sink to ensure it is properly positioned and not obstructed. Clear any items that might be interfering with the hose's movement.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: Verify that both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. If the issue persists, consult a professional plumber.
