Setup and Installation
The Moen Indi faucet is designed for flexible installation, accommodating 1, 2, 3, or 4-hole sink configurations. It is a deck-mount type faucet and includes necessary supply lines and an optional deck plate for wider hole coverage.
Before You Begin
- Ensure all necessary components are present: faucet body, handle, pull-down sprayer, supply lines, mounting hardware, and optional deck plate.
- Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink: If using the optional deck plate, place it over the sink holes. Ensure the gasket is properly seated.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the center hole (or deck plate hole). Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware. Tighten until snug, but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply valves. Use appropriate wrenches and ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Connect Sprayer Hose: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the designated port on the faucet body under the sink.
- Install Weight: Attach the hose weight to the pull-down sprayer hose at the indicated position to ensure proper retraction.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run the faucet to flush out any debris.

Operating Instructions
Your Moen Indi faucet features a single handle for precise control of water temperature and flow, along with a versatile pull-down sprayer.
Water Flow and Temperature Control
- Turn On/Off: Lift the single handle to turn on the water. Push down to turn off.
- Adjust Flow: The further you lift the handle, the greater the water flow.
- Adjust Temperature: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water.
Pull-Down Sprayer Operation
- Extend Sprayer: Gently pull the spray wand from the spout. The Reflex system ensures smooth extension and retraction.
- Change Spray Mode: Press the button on the spray wand to switch between aerated stream and Power Clean spray. The Power Clean spray provides 50 percent more spray power compared to Moen faucets without this technology.
- Retract Sprayer: Once finished, guide the spray wand back into the spout. The secure docking mechanism will hold it firmly in place.
- Swivel Spout: The faucet spout can swivel for increased reach and flexibility within your sink area.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Moen Indi faucet.
Cleaning the Finish
- For the Matte Black finish, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Aerator Cleaning
- If water flow decreases or becomes erratic, the aerator may be clogged with debris.
- Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spray wand.
- Rinse the aerator under running water and gently remove any mineral deposits or particles.
- Reattach the aerator, ensuring it is securely tightened.
