- 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

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.
