  • In this video I go from a low cost Moen shower faucet to a pricier Delta shower faucet (In2ition, 144710C-SS-I20). I made this change because the Moen had a constant drip at the spout. I had attempted to fix the drip but was unsuccessful. I start the video with a comparison of the two faucets so that you can decide if you should purchase a more economical Moen faucet or spend more money on the Delta. After that I show you how I removed the Moen and I installed the Delta shower faucet.
    Here are the tools and materials that I used:
    Tools:
    -Phillips screwdriver
    -Monkey wrench
    -Channel lock wrench
    -Towels or rags
    -Tape measure
    -Pen or pencil
    -Oscillating saw
    -Angle grinder with masonry/metal cutting blade
    -Level - for marking level and straight lines
    -Allen wrench - may be needed for removing your current shower faucet
    -15/16 wrench
    Materials:
    -Delta In2ition Shower Head, Faucet, Spout - 144710C-SS-I20
    -SharkBite 1/2 inch Push-to-Connect & 1/2 inch FNPT Female Adapter
    -Teflon tape
    -1/2 pipe nipple (length will vary based on your set up)
    -Loctite Tite Construction Foam - for securing the shower head pipe if it is loose (use gloves when using construction foam)
    -SharkBite 1/2 inch Push-to-Connect Coupling
    -SharkBite 1/2 inch 90 degree Push-to-Connect Coupling
    -1/2 inch x 1/2 inch CPVC coupling

    How much did you pay for the intuition? Also, which moen shower fixture did you buy that you weren’t happy with. How is the delta going ?

      If I remember correctly the intuition was $249. I bought the Moen around 2015 so I don't remember the model. The Delta is still working just fine.
