INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - ENGLISH
Before turning water on during either rough-in or
trim-out, ensure that the cartridge retainer clip is in
place.
The cartridge and retainer clip were
properly installed and tested prior to leaving the
factory.
While unlikely, it is
possible that due to handling the
retainer clip may not be properly
installed. If the retainer clip is
not properly installed, water
pressure
could
force
the
cartridge out of the casing
causing personal injury and/or
water damage.
To Operate Shut-off Stops
This type is integral with casting, actuated by a
screwdriver, requiring a 90° turn to open or close.
When the screwdriver slot is vertical the stop is
closed; when horizontal the stop is open.
MAKE SURE ALL WATER
SUPPLIES ARE OFF.
Rough-In
UP
Install the casting with the
or the word "TOP" facing the ceiling. If the valve
is used for shower only, plug the bottom outlet. If
the valve is used for both a tub and shower,
connect the top outlet to the shower and the
bottom to the tub spout. Secure all pipes and the
shower ell and/or tub drop ell. Use Teflon tape on
all threads.
Caution: This valve is equipped with the Moen
long-life POSI-TEMP cartridge designed for
smooth,

operation.

direction will allow you to solder without
removing the cartridge or rubber stops.
Warning:
The cartridge and rubber stops
MUST BE REMOVED before brazing or
resistance (electric) soldering.
Flushing
Important: Before closing wall openings,
pressure test valve and complete system using
flushing instructions.
Pipe chips, sand and other solids found in new
and renovated plumbing can damage the sealing
surfaces of the cartridge causing leakage or spool

blockage. To avoid damage, DO NOT TURN ON
SUPPLY VALVES until instructed.
Make sure both hot and cold supplies are off.
Rotate cartridge stem until the notch flat points up
Clip
to relieve pressure and insure complete shut-off.
Remove the cartridge (see Disassembly). Slowly
turn on both hot and cold supplies and flush out
the body and lines. Close the hot and cold
supplies and replace cartridge (see Reassembly).
Turn on both supplies and check the system for
leaks.
Cartridge
Ears
If the balancing spool becomes stuck, apparent
during the trim-out test, the valve will only deliver
a trickle of water or will only deliver hot or cold
water. If this occurs, proceed as follows:
Make sure that both hot and cold service lines are
ON and ensure that the integral stops are open
(stop models). The valve will not operate unless
both supplies are on.
If the valve still does not function properly, turn off
both hot and cold supplies and remove cartridge.
The inner spool in the cartridge should shake back
and forth freely. If this does not happen, remove
arrow pointing up
the stem assembly from the cartridge sleeve,
remove the cap from the assembly and remove
the balance spool. Carefully clean any foreign
material from the balance spool and stem
assembly and reassemble. Caution:
DAMAGE O-RINGS. If the spool still does not free
up, replace the entire cartridge.

C.C. SPOUT:
The Moen slip fit spout is designed with an o-ring
seal, specifically for installation with copper water
tube. Lookout must be free of burrs inside and out.
The edge must not be rolled. The outside surface

CAUTION: This spout is ABS plastic and will crack
when in contact with some pipe thread
compounds. We recommend using Teflon Tape.
Screw tube spout onto pipe and tighten by hand.
If final turn by wrench is needed, use small wrench
with smooth jaws or pad wrench teeth with rag.
