5. Setup and Installation
5.1. Preparation
- Gather necessary tools: hex wrench (usually 5/32"), plumber's tape (optional, for threaded connections), cleaning cloth.
- Turn off the main water supply to the bathroom or entire house.
- Cover the drain to prevent small parts from falling into it.
5.2. Removing the Old Tub Spout
- Identify the connection type of your existing tub spout. Common types are threaded (IPS) or slip-fit (CC).
- For slip-fit spouts, locate the hex screw (also known as a set screw) on the underside of the spout near the wall. Use a hex wrench to loosen this screw. Once loose, pull the spout straight off the copper pipe extending from the wall.
- For threaded spouts, rotate the spout counter-clockwise to unscrew it from the threaded pipe nipple extending from the wall.
- Clean any debris or old sealant from the pipe and the wall area.
5.3. Installing the New Moen 195827 Tub Spout
The Moen 195827 is a slip-fit (CC) tub spout.
- Ensure the copper pipe extending from the wall is clean and free of burrs. The pipe should extend approximately 1-1/2 to 4 inches from the finished wall.
- Slide the new Moen 195827 tub spout onto the copper pipe, pushing it firmly towards the wall until it is flush.
- Locate the hex screw on the underside of the spout. Using the provided hex wrench, tighten this screw securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the pipe or spout.
- Turn the main water supply back on.
- Check for any leaks around the base of the spout. If leaks occur, ensure the spout is fully seated and the hex screw is tight.

6. Operating Instructions
The Moen 195827 Align Non-Diverter Tub Spout functions by allowing water to flow directly into the bathtub. As a non-diverter model, it does not have a mechanism to redirect water to a showerhead. Water flow is controlled by your existing tub/shower valve.
7. Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning
- To maintain the chrome finish, clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Wipe the spout dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
7.2. General Care
- Periodically check the spout for any looseness. If it feels loose, gently tighten the hex screw on the underside.
8. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaks from the wall connection | Spout not fully seated or hex screw loose. | Ensure the spout is pushed completely onto the pipe and the hex screw is tightened securely. |
| Spout feels loose or wobbly | Hex screw is not tight enough. | Tighten the hex screw on the underside of the spout with the hex wrench. |
| Low water flow from spout | This issue is typically not related to the tub spout itself. | Check the main water supply, the tub/shower valve, or other plumbing components for blockages or issues. |
