Installing the Moen 69000 Two-Handle Widespread Lavatory Rough-In Valve requires careful attention to detail. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
- Begin by applying sealant to the underside of the Mounting Shank (A). Then, insert the Mounting Shank (A) into the sink deck opening.
- For sink decks thinner than 1 inch, attach the Mounting Bracket (C) and the Mounting Plate (E) onto the Mounting Shank (A).
- Use the Mounting Tool (J) to secure the Mounting Bracket Nut (F). Tighten the nut firmly.
- Insert both the hot and cold valve bodies (H) and (I) through the Mounting Washers (B).
- Next, slide the Mounting Washer (D) and Mounting Ring with screws (G) onto the valve body (H) and hand-tighten these components.
- Remove the Protective Sleeves (L) from the valve bodies to prepare for the next steps.
- Connect the Quick Connect Hose (K) to the bottom of the Spout Shank (A). Press firmly until you hear a distinct "click."
- Attach the ends of the Quick Connect Hose (K) onto each valve body, ensuring the arrows on the hose are facing upward.
- Turn the stems of both Valve Bodies (H) and (I) to the closed position to prevent water flow during the initial testing.
- Apply thread seal tape to the threads of the Drain Body Tailpiece (U) and insert it into the Upper Drain Body (Y).
- Insert and tighten the Pivot Rod (R) into the Upper Drain Body (Y).
- Push the Upper Drain Body (Y) and Drain Flange (N) into the sink hole opening and tighten the Drain Nut (P).
- To finish, snap the Waste Cap (M) into the sink drain opening.
