4. Setup and Installation
This trim kit is designed to be installed with a compatible Moen Posi-Temp valve (not included). Refer to the installation instructions provided with your Moen Posi-Temp valve for detailed rough-in and valve body installation. Once the valve body is installed and water connections are made, proceed with the trim kit installation.
- Ensure the water supply to the valve is turned off.
- Align the trim plate over the installed valve body, ensuring it sits flush against the wall.
- Secure the trim plate using the provided screws. Ensure screws are tightened evenly to prevent warping.
- Install the handle onto the valve stem. The handle should slide onto the stem and be secured with the set screw (if applicable).
- Test the installation for leaks and proper operation by slowly turning on the water supply.
For detailed visual guidance, please refer to the official Moen installation videos or consult a professional plumber.
5. Operating Instructions
The Moen Cia 1-Handle Posi-Temp Pressure Balancing Valve Trim Kit provides easy control over water temperature and flow.
- Temperature Control: Rotate the lever handle to adjust the water temperature. Typically, rotating counter-clockwise increases hot water, and clockwise increases cold water. The small red and blue dots on the trim plate indicate hot and cold positions, respectively.
- Flow Control: Pull the lever handle outwards to turn on the water and push it inwards to turn off the water.
- Posi-Temp Feature: The Posi-Temp valve is designed to maintain water temperature within a safe range, even when other water sources in the house are in use, preventing sudden temperature changes.
6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and performance of your Moen Cia trim kit, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Clean regularly with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
