5. Installation
The Moen Ronan faucet features the Duralock quick connect system for simplified installation. Follow the detailed instructions provided in your package for specific steps. Below is a general overview:
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure your sink has three pre-drilled holes, spaced between 8 and 16 inches apart for widespread installation. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.
- Install Valve Bodies: Insert the hot and cold valve bodies into the outer holes of the sink. Secure them from underneath with the provided mounting hardware.
- Install Faucet Spout: Place the faucet spout assembly into the center hole. Secure it from underneath using the provided nut and washer.
- Connect Water Lines: Use the Duralock quick connect hoses to link the hot and cold valve bodies to the faucet spout. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Connect Supply Lines: Attach your hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding valve bodies.
- Install Drain Assembly: Follow the instructions for installing the non-metal push-down waste assembly into the sink drain hole.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper function.
6. Operating Instructions
Your Moen Ronan faucet is designed for intuitive operation:
- Water Flow: To turn on the water, rotate either the hot or cold handle counter-clockwise. To increase flow, rotate further. To decrease flow, rotate clockwise.
- Temperature Control: The left handle controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve your desired water temperature.
- Shut-off: To turn off the water, rotate both handles fully clockwise until the water flow stops.
- Drain Operation: The included push-down waste assembly allows you to open and close the drain by simply pressing down on the drain stopper. Press once to close, press again to open.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and performance of your Moen Ronan faucet, follow these guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Spot Resist Finish: The Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots, making cleaning easier and keeping your faucet looking cleaner for longer.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, ammonia-based products, or polishes containing alcohol. These can damage the finish and void your warranty.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout, clean any debris, and reattach.
