Review on 🚰 Moen 9000 Widespread Bathroom Sink Faucet: Advanced Rough-In Valve with M-PACT Technology and Drain Assembly by Michael Caste

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Replacement installation

Installation is not difficult, but only if it has to be installed in a non-built-in sink. Replacing a sink faucet turns into a nightmare. The hose connections are very simple. He's trying to tighten the thin 1-9/32" brass nut on the valves, which is a problem. When constructing simple hose connections, the flare no longer comes into contact with the nut due to the 90 degree nipple to snap onto the hose. . First you need to make a 1 inch thick washer (depending on the thickness of the tank) so there is enough room to lower the nut where you can work with it. Since there still isn't enough room for a wrench to tighten the nut, you'll need to make a tool that will tighten it. Hardware stores have no idea how to do this either. I don't know why Moen doesn't provide a tool for this, or at least identify the problem and offer some suggestions on how to solve this very frustrating task.

Pros
