INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

Before turning water on during either rough-in or trim-out, make sure that cartridge retainer clip is in place. The cartridge and

retainer clip were properly installed and tested before leaving the factory. Although it is unlikely, it is nevertheless possible

that through the handling of the valve by any number of persons the retainer clip may not be properly installed. This should

be carefully checked at time of rough-in and trim out. If the retainer clip is not properly installed, water pressure could force

the cartridge out of the casting. Personal injury or water damage to the premises could result.

Always turn water off before disassembling the valve. Open valve handle to relieve water

pressure and to insure that complete water shut-off has been accomplished.

Be sure lavatory or mounting surface is clean and dry. Place a bead of plumber's putty

around the inside lip of the gasket, position gasket on deck. Assemble clamp bars,

spacers if needed, and mounting nuts to escutcheon studs. Tilt clamp bars back as

shown in illustration, then place faucet supplies and studs down through the deck.

Disassembly

CAUTION: Turn OFF both hot and cold water supplies. Open handle to alleviate water pressure to insure that complete water shut-off has been accomplished.

Remove handle cap and handle screw. Lift handle assembly up, keep the cartridge stem in the closed position and tilt up and off. Remove clip retainer ring

and retainer clip. Slide off grooved sleeve and spacer.

Using the cartridge twisting tool (furnished with new Moen cartridge) and pliers turn the cartridge back and forth between 11 and 1 o'clock, then grasp the

cartridge stem and pull out the cartridge. If the cartridge is difficult to remove use a Moen cartridge puller.

Reassembly

CAUTION: Re-insert cartridge by pushing it all the way into the body and until the front of the ears on the cartridge shell are flush and aligned with the body,

up and down (see illustration).

Fully insert the cartridge until the top of the cartridge ears are level with the top of the faucet body. Position the cartridge ears up and down to allow insertion

of the retainer clip (see illustration on page 1). Replace the retainer clip (for lever handles replace spacer, grooved sleeve, retainer clip and clip retainer ring)

so that the legs straddle the cartridge ears and slide down into the bottom slot in the body. This prevents the cartridge from rotating and locks it in the body.

The notched flat on the stem must point UP when mounting knob or Concentrix handles, DOWN for lever handle models. Re-install handle parts. Tighten

handle screw securely. Press on handle cover.

To Eliminate Cross-Piping On Back-To-Back Installations, or to Correct

Reversed Rough-In Where Hot and Cold Positions are Reversed:

Position handle lever so that it points toward you (in "OFF" position). Remove handle cover, handle screw, handle assembly. Turn

valve stem around so that the notched flat is turned one-half turn or 180°. Re-install handle parts. Tighten handle screw securely and

replace handle cover. Always keep handle pointer "UP".

Consumer Information

Faucets made of leaded brass alloys may contribute small amounts of lead to water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass. The amount of

lead contributed by any faucet is highest when the faucet is new. The following steps may reduce potential exposure to lead from faucets and other parts

of the plumbing system:

•Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking.

•Use only cold water for drinking or cooking.

•If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing in the pipes or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature

of the water drops, indicating water coming from the outside main.
