Setup and Installation
The Moen Ronan faucet is designed for a three-hole, 4-inch centerset installation. It requires 1/2-inch IPS connections for flexible hoses. Do not use rigid or semi-rigid supply risers (3/8-inch Copper or Pex) with coupling nuts.
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink deck has three holes, each with a minimum diameter of 1 inch, spaced 4 inches on center. Clean the area around the faucet holes.
- Install the Faucet: Place the faucet assembly onto the sink deck, aligning the hot and cold water inlets with the outer holes and the spout with the center hole.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware. Tighten nuts evenly to ensure a stable installation.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the 1/2-inch IPS flexible supply lines (not included) to the hot and cold water inlets on the faucet and to your home's water supply valves. Ensure connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a quarter turn. Do not overtighten.
- Install the Drain Assembly: Follow the instructions provided with the non-metallic spring-loaded pop-up drain assembly for proper installation into the sink drain hole. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.

Operating Instructions
The Moen Ronan faucet features two handles for precise control over water temperature and flow.
- Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to activate cold water flow.
- Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to activate hot water flow.
- Temperature Adjustment: Mix hot and cold water by adjusting both handles until the desired temperature is achieved.
- Flow Control: The further the handles are turned, the greater the water flow.
- Drain Operation: The included spring-loaded pop-up drain is operated by pushing down on the drain stopper to close it, and pushing again to open it.

Maintenance
To maintain the finish and performance of your Moen Ronan faucet, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Drain Cleaning: Periodically clean the pop-up drain assembly to prevent buildup and ensure proper drainage.
