Setup and Installation
This trim kit is designed for use with Moen Posi-Temp valves. Ensure you have one of the compatible valve models (2510, 2520, 2570, or 2590) installed before proceeding with the trim kit installation.
Identifying Your Moen Posi-Temp Valve
The Posi-Temp valve features a single handle operation that rotates only to control temperature. It is compatible with standard 1/2" connections, including CC (copper), CPVC, crimp ring PEX, and IPS (threaded) options.

Installation Steps (Trim Kit)
- Prepare the Valve: Ensure the Posi-Temp valve is correctly installed and secured within the wall. Refer to the valve's specific installation instructions for proper rough-in.
- Install the Escutcheon: Place the escutcheon (wall plate) over the valve body. Secure it to the wall using the provided screws. The Greenfield escutcheon features double-stacked bands for a distinct style.
- Install the Handle Adapter: Attach the handle adapter to the valve stem.
- Install the Lever Handle: Position the lever handle onto the adapter and secure it with the set screw.
- Install the Showerhead and Tub Spout:
- For the showerhead, apply plumber's tape to the shower arm threads and screw the showerhead onto the arm.
- For the tub spout, slide it onto the copper pipe stub-out and secure it according to the specific spout design (e.g., set screw or threaded connection).
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks.

Operating Instructions
The Moen Greenfield Single Handle Faucet Trim Kit operates with a Posi-Temp pressure-balancing valve, which maintains water temperature within a safe range by compensating for sudden changes in hot or cold water pressure.
- Temperature Control: Rotate the single lever handle to adjust the water temperature. Typically, rotating counter-clockwise increases hot water, and clockwise increases cold water.
- Flow Control: The Posi-Temp valve provides full volume at any temperature setting.
- Shower/Tub Diverter: If your tub spout includes a diverter, pull up the knob on the tub spout to divert water to the showerhead. Push it down to return water to the tub spout.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the finish of your Moen Greenfield faucet, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes, as these can damage the chrome finish. For stubborn water spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
Temperature Limit Stop Adjustment
Your Posi-Temp valve includes an adjustable temperature limit stop for safety. If the maximum hot water temperature is too high or too low, refer to your Posi-Temp valve's specific instructions for adjusting this setting. This typically involves removing the handle and making an adjustment to a plastic stop on the valve cartridge.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged showerhead or tub spout; partially closed stopcock on valve. | Clean showerhead nozzles. Ensure valve stopcocks are fully open. |
| Water temperature too hot/cold | Temperature limit stop incorrectly set. | Adjust the temperature limit stop on the Posi-Temp valve cartridge (refer to valve instructions). |
| Leaking from handle or escutcheon | Loose connections; damaged O-rings or cartridge. | Check and tighten connections. If problem persists, the valve cartridge may need replacement. |
| Water not diverting to showerhead | Faulty tub spout diverter. | Inspect or replace the tub spout. |
