Hello! I wanted to thank you for your video. I am 60+ and I could change my handle by myself because of your explaination. Knowing that I had one system and that all the parts in the package were not necessary made the process a lot easier. Moen Tron vs .... thank you again!
installed this today .. pretty straightforward as this gentleman's video indicates.. also QR code at top of printed instructions (which are too small to read for me) was a major help as well .. really well done.. I installed plastic handle but screw provided was too short .. had to hunt around in my toolbox for one w more length otherwise handle would be too loose .. happy w this minor update to my shower !
Had the same issue with the handle feeling very loose when installed. I stuffed some of the extra foam gasket supplied in the kit in the cavity where the set screw goes and that helped stabilize it. Now this thing feels worth the ~$50 I spent at Lowes lol
I had the same problem and read the instructions. The kit includes a tiny lock washer which my plumber didn't use. I installed the lock washer and it stopped the handle from feeling loose.
Great video!! Really helpful!! We replaced ours with this same kid probably 8 years ago and we installed the KNOB. We must have the Moentron valve that you spoke about because it DOES NOT pull out to turn on. With the KNOB installed we would turn it counter-clockwise all the way to get hot water from 1 side of our house to our master bathroom then gradually turn it slowly clockwise to make the water cooler. It has worked fine like this for 8 years. the pressure remained the same regardless of the position of the knob. We just replaced the trim kit again and elected to use the LEVER because its easier to grab. We cannot seem to be able to adjust the temp of the water now. This seems weird to us but on 1 side its HOT only and on the other side its COLD only. We feel kind of stupid now. Lol! May be we installed the wrong adaptor? We used the GRAY one that you used. Thanks!
@@Kent_N_Sophie WE used the GRAY plastic adaptor in our installation. We threw away the BLUE? one stupidly and I can't help but to wonder if we should have used the BLUE one....
@@Kent_N_Sophie I removed the LEVER that I installed when I installed the new trim kit and put the KNOB back on. NO difference in pressure or temp control. I have watched videos now on replacing the cartridge and frankly think thats my next move. Its original to our home that was built in 1998. It doesn't leak and that seems to be why most folks replace the cartridges. Ours is actually quite stiff to turn thats why I elected to install the lever. MY understanding is these valves automatically adjust the temp for instance if someone flushes a toilet close by so the person in the shower doesn't get hotter water than they want. I think ours is just plain stuck.
for prevenitve maintance wouldn't it make sense to install an new cartridge while at it? would you or anyone know which cartridge model I should get? a link to the product will be great. Thanks for the great video!
The kit shown at the right in the first 10 seconds of the video is not correct -- it is for Delta. However the link in the description to a Danco 10002 UNIVERSAL MOEN TRIM KIT is correct.
I wanted the lever handle, but the plumber said I couldn't used that option. After he left I found your video. I have moentrol and valve has no diverter so I WAS able to use the lever. Now my problem is my gray adapter is metal and its weight is causing the handle to sink ever so slow downward when I have the lever at the highest points either left or right. Looks like your adapter was plastic. Maybe I can get a plastic adapter to fix this issue??
I just installed this kit on my old moen.(Thanks for your video). But now, I can't get the water to turn off completely by just pushing in the handle. I have taken handle off and can turn water off by pushing screw in farther with screwdriver. Do I have it installed correctly? Do I need to do something different? Could this possibly mean I need to replace the cartridge?
More: not sure, but it seems like the reason it isn’t shutting off is because it hits the plate. I noticed the original old Moen plate is more “bowl” shaped (deeper).
Great video! It helped out a ton, only took me about 5 mins. Do you feel like it's a little more difficult to pull the handle out compared to the knob style? Grip-wise
Do you have to turn off the main house water first before beginning the removal of the old trim kit and handle and replacing it with the new ? Thanks !
Great job on video. I have question. My Moen faucet doesn't pull out and the faucet only lets me choose hot or cold. Why can't I choose warm? Need help. Thanks
These kits for Moen pull style valves will not work on the old style pull valves. You will need to purchase a handle extension kit. The kit comes with a brass sleeve to extend the pull handle. Otherwise, when you start tightening the the screw you will turn on the water. They do not tell you this. I heard from the Home Depot clerk that he has to send people to online or plumbing stores to purchase the handle adapter. These Danco and Moen trim kits sold will only work on the new style valves, which have a longer stem. Very frustrating. The kits range from $26.00 and up.

Thanks for the video. Team Posi-Temp here. LOL! Followed your lead and was able to install the one with the metallic handle in under 20 minutes!

Well done! Extremely helpful. Thanks for staying on point and being concise.
Thank you. The best video I found so far.
Splendid no bs video… just information. Always pleasant
Not like that joker from K.A
The directions say 1 hour installation. It took me 10 minutes. Thanks.
Super helpful video brother. Thank you so much!!!

We have the same problem. Can someone help, please
@@Kent_N_Sophie I'm hoping so. WE feel pretty stupid. We DID NOT change the valve or cartridge. Operation should be the same you'd think.....

Great video my exact setup. Thanks
This is very helpful. Everything went smooth, except when screwing in the adapter, it is always loose. What could be the issue?
The kit shown at the right in the first 10 seconds of the video is not correct -- it is for Delta. However the link in the description to a Danco 10002 UNIVERSAL MOEN TRIM KIT is correct.
Can this trim kit be used as is if you have a moen standard valve?
What i f i wanted to change device to the diagnoal holes? Isnt that possible?

Excellent demonstration! Mahalo ! 🏝️🌈🌺
Before installing the trim kit , do I have to shut the water valve?
will not hurt
Where do you get the adapter for 180 rotation?
thank you , you made it easy for me i had same hook up

Same issue with the plate. 0/10 would recommend
What was your solution for this?
The screw holes on my plate are too wide apart. Where can I get the plate adaptor?
Did anyone find a extension kit for the moentrol? I can’t push in to shut off.
Great video! It helped out a ton, only took me about 5 mins. Do you feel like it's a little more difficult to pull the handle out compared to the knob style? Grip-wise
Do you have to turn off the main house water first before beginning the removal of the old trim kit and handle and replacing it with the new ? Thanks !
No need
If it doesn’t stop at 90 degrees, what is the cause?
Thanks for the help
Do anyone know of a cartridge that fits a mainline shower?, I cannot find a replacement anywhere.
wonderful !thank you.
Where did you get the adapter?
Home Depot
@@lookoutman Thank you. My handle spins 360 as well. Do you have a link to the part you picked up at HD or what the name of that adapter is?
@@lookoutman please I need that grey adapter … send a link
Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
I have the posi temp. I hate it. I installed a flow valve on the head to help save water.
I don't understand why they are dropping the Moentrol - seems like a better valve??
@@lookoutman I hate it.. I’d change the whole thing out if I had a choice. I don’t.. I live in a apt.. but a valve works jsut as well..
Great job on video. I have question.
My Moen faucet doesn't pull out and the faucet only lets me choose hot or cold. Why can't I choose warm? Need help. Thanks
you still respond?

Forgot the washer under the 1st screw
It's not a moentrol..you have an old moen chateau non pressure balanced
Did not know I had an older moentrol push/pull style. Wasted money and bought the other moen posi temp turn style handle. 🤦
The packaging says DELTA
