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.
By following these instructions, you should be able to successfully install your Moen 69000 valve. Always refer to the Moen product manual for detailed diagrams and safety information.
