Installation & Repairs

  • What size basket strainers do I need for my new sink?

    Basket strainers are typically standard in size and fit most sink openings - 3½" for kitchen sinks and 2" for bar sinks.
  • Does Moen make undermount sinks?

    Moen makes a variety of both undermount and drop-in sinks, made from stainless steel.
  • What kind of cleaner can I use on non-LifeShine components?

    Do not use cleaners that contain abrasives, harsh chemicals, alcohol, or other organic solvents. Avoid using any other cleansers or pads/sponges that are unsafe for polished metallic surfaces. Most green, fibrous pads/sponges contain microscopic mineral particles that can scratch a faucet's finish. Cleaner manufacturers may change their formulations at any time; therefore, Moen does not recommend any specific cleaner. Immediately after cleaning your faucet, wash off remaining cleaner with water. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. To preserve the luster of your faucet, occasionally apply a high quality non-abrasive wax, such as car wax or furniture polish. For faucets with clear knob style handles, cleaners should be approved for acrylics.
  • Is the same procedure followed for the 2 handle kitchen faucet?

    Changing the O-rings on a 2 handle kitchen faucet is usually easier than a 1 handle. It is not necessary to turn the water off under the sink provided that no one turns the faucet handles to the on position while servicing.

    Identifying the specific model number of your faucet and viewing the parts breakdown is suggested.

    If the spout rotates and extends towards the sink at a low angle, a cap on the top of the spout unscrews (counterclockwise). A rubber jar gripper or a strap wrench makes this part of the job easier. Once the cap has been removed, rotate the spout while pulling upward.

    If your faucet has a spout that is a high fill, cathedral or high arc spout there will be a collar that unscrews counterclockwise. When the collar has been loosened, pull up on the spout and remove it from the faucet. Many spouts will also feature a split white nylon washer to help secure the spout to the faucet.

    Follow the same procedure for cleaning, replacing and lubricating as detailed above.

  • How many holes are necessary in my sink deck to install my kitchen faucet?

    Our kitchen faucets come with a wide variety of mounting adaptations.
    Single-handle faucets are available that mount through 1, 2, 3 or 4 hole applications. Two-handle faucets come in 3 and 4 hole applications. If your existing faucet is covering up the holes, you can look under the sink to see how many you have.
  • Can I purchase a non-spray faucet and convert it to a sprayer model using my existing side spray?

    No, kitchen faucets with hose and sprays have different valve bodies than non-sprayer models.
