Installation Schematics – Measuring for Ideal Tub/Shower Performance
Installation of this product at non-recommended measurements may lead to issues such as water discharge from the showerhead during tub fill mode.

Tub/Shower
Position the valve body 32 inches from the floor of the tub basin. The shower arm should be placed 78 inches above the floor of the tub basin (recommended installation of the shower arm is with a flanged elbow fitting – not included – and attached to a wood brace). The tub spout is to be no less than 6 inches and no greater than 11 inches below the valve. If installing a threaded tub spout, connect to the valve with 1/2 inch pipe or 1/2 inch copper tubing with a threaded adapter. If installing a slip-fit tub spout, connect to the valve with only copper tubing – no threaded adapter is needed.
See step 4.3 for tub spout tube length.

Shower Only
The centre of the valve should be 45 inches to 48 inches above the shower stall floor. The shower arm should be placed 78 inches above the shower stall floor (recommended installation of the shower arm is with a flanged elbow fitting – not included – and attached to a wood brace).

Installing Your Valve

Moen has provided a plaster ground attached to the valve to be used as an installation and alignment guide. The plaster ground comes attached to the valve in the standard configuration from the factory. The plaster ground may be configured in different ways to accommodate various installation needs and maximize the aesthetic look of the valve in the shower. The plaster ground may be left in place until the trim is installed to protect the valve from possible construction damage.

Thin Wall Installation:
(Using the plaster ground to support the valve)

The thin wall installation method is used when the tub/shower wall is less than ¼ inches thick (such as a fibreglass tub surround) and will be the main source of support for the valve. Installations of this type require the plaster ground to remain attached to the valve.

1. Drill a 2-1/4 inch to 3-1/2 inch diameter hole through the wall in the location shown in the installation schematic. This hole will allow access to the valve but not the plaster ground.
2. Centre the plaster ground/valve assembly behind the wall opening.
3. Attach the water connections to the valve.
4. Break off the plaster ground cap with a pair of pliers. Once the trim is installed, the wall will be “trapped” between the trim and the plaster ground.

Thick wall Installation
(Most installations)
The thick wall installation method is used when the tub/shower wall is greater than ¼ inches thick. Thick walls are usually built up with materials such as cement board, drywall, tile etc. The plaster ground will aid with alignment and can remain attached to the valve until the valve has been positioned and secured.

1. Drill a 4-1/2 inch hole in the wall (the same size as the plaster ground) in the location shown in the installation schematic. This hole will help support the valve during installation and allow access for future servicing if necessary.
2. Position the plaster ground in the hole so that its printed face is flush with the finished wall. This will ensure that the valve will be at the proper height to accept the trim.
3. Mechanically secure the valve to the wall frame members by the use of straps (not included) or attaching the valve mounting holes to a cross member behind the valve through mounting tabs on the valve.
4. Attach the water connections to the valve.
5. Remove the plaster ground or break off the plaster ground cap and discard.

Ensure the cartridge clip is installed before escutcheon installation. For a thin wall installation, the wall will be “trapped” between the plaster ground and the trim. The plaster ground may be discarded for thick wall installations. Once the valve is secured in place, remove the escutcheon screws (G). Keep the escutcheon screws (G) for installation of the escutcheon (F). Place the product identification label (U) on the back of the escutcheon. Make sure the wall is clean, place the escutcheon (F) over the stop tube (B) then re-install the screws (G). A gasket on the back of the escutcheon provides a seal against the wall.

Special instructions for shallow wall cavity installations

This plaster ground valve assembly variation should only be used when the wall cavity restricts the depth the valve may be placed in the wall. It can be used with either the thick wall installation when the back wall prevents the plaster ground printed face from coming flush to the finished wall or the thin wall installation where the plaster ground/valve assembly will not fit within the wall cavity.

Note: Installing the valve using this method will result in the handle extending into the shower area farther and exposing more of the valve.

To reconfigure the plaster ground/valve assembly for a shallow wall cavity installation:

1. Using a pair of pliers, remove the plaster ground cap by snapping it off.
2. Remove the screw(s) holding the plaster ground to the valve.
3. Remove the #2 hole covers by prying them out with a flat-bladed screwdriver or drilling them out with a 3/16” drill bit.
4. Rotate the plaster ground 90° clockwise so that the arrows on either side of the word optional point upwards and reinstall the screws removed in step 2 into the holes marked 2.
5. Install the plaster ground per the thick wall installation or thin wall installation method described earlier.

Installing Your Moen Tub/Shower Trim

Loosen Nut (P) to allow Showerball (O) to rotate.

1. Attach Rainshower (Q) to Shower Arm (H).
2. Thread Showerball (O) to Shower Arm (H).

Tighten the Showerball (O) with a wrench.

Hand tighten Nut (P) to secure Rainshower until Nut stops.

1. Attach Washer (S) and Hose (T) to Rainshower (Q).
2. Attach Washer (S) an. d Hose (T) to Handshower (R).

Threaded Tub Spout Installation

If this is a shower-only installation, skip to step 4.4.
IPS (threaded) spouts are designed to screw onto a pipe with 1/2-inch male pipe threads. To determine the proper pipe length, measure from the inside elbow shoulder to the wall (y) and from the threaded adapter inside of the tub spout to the base of the tub spout (x), then add 1/4”. Place thread seal tape around the pipe threading and a sealant (plumber putty or caulk) around the base of the pipe to prevent leaking behind the wall. Thread the tub spout onto the pipe until flush with the wall.

Cartridge Orientation

• Now you are ready to attach the handle.
• Rotate the cartridge stem so the notch at the end of the stem is facing down towards the drain.
• Insert the key stop (C) and the adjustable limit stop (D) into the stop tube as shown.

Lever Handle Installation

• Attach the plastic handle adapter (I) to the cartridge stem using the 1/2-inch adapter screw (J). Make sure the ridges on the back of the adapter (I) are to the left of the tab on limit stop (D).
• Place the lever (K) on the lever handle adapter.

Setting The Temperature Limit Stop and Finishing Your Tub/Shower Installation

Turn on the hot and cold water supply to check for leaks and set the temperature limit to stop.

Rotate the lever counterclockwise until the water is to the maximum desired temperature, not to exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). Seasonal maintenance of the maximum outlet temperature may be required due to changes in groundwater temperature.
TURN LEVER TO THE OFF POSITION ONCE THE TEMPERATURE IS SET.

If the temperature exceeds 120 degrees, go to step 5.3.
If the temperature is less than 120 degrees, go to step 5.5.

• Remove the lever (K) and lever handle adapter (I). Note the position of the stop. Position the adjustable temperature limit stop (D) so the lever stops at that position. This prevents the lever from being turned into an unsafe temperature.
• After setting the adjustable temperature limit stop (D) to the desired position, reattach the lever handle adapter (I), adapter screw (J), and lever (K) – make sure the ridges on the back of (I) are to the left of the tab on (D).
• Using 7/64 inches hex wrench (M), insert and tighten the adapter screw (J) into the lever (K).

Care Instructions

• To preserve the finish on the metallic parts of your Moen faucet, apply non-abrasive wax, such as car wax. Any cleaners should be rinsed off immediately.
