4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Moen Lindor 84506 faucet.

4.1 Pre-Installation

1. Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink. If no shut-off valves are present, turn off the main water supply to the house.
2. Remove the old faucet and clean the sink surface thoroughly.

4.2 Faucet Installation

1. Place the faucet assembly onto the sink deck, aligning the handles and spout with the pre-drilled holes. Ensure the gasket is properly seated under the faucet base.
2. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet assembly using the provided mounting hardware (washers and nuts). Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug them, being careful not to overtighten.
3. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. The hot water line typically connects to the left, and the cold water line to the right. Tighten connections securely.
4. Connect the other ends of the supply lines to the hot and cold water supply valves.

4.3 Drain Assembly Installation

1. Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the flange of the drain assembly.
2. Insert the drain assembly into the sink drain hole.
3. From underneath the sink, install the rubber washer, friction washer, and mounting nut onto the drain tailpiece. Tighten securely to create a watertight seal.
4. Connect the drain tailpiece to your P-trap assembly.

4.4 Final Steps

1. Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves.
2. Check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.
3. Remove the aerator from the spout and turn on the faucet to flush out any debris from the water lines. Run water for approximately one minute.
4. Turn off the faucet, reattach the aerator, and test the faucet for proper operation.
