If your Moentrol valve has these, they will be located on the inlets of the valve.

Where is the shut off valve on a Moen faucet?

There may be a dedicated shutoff valve for the bathroom, but in most houses, you have to turn off the main water valve. It’s usually located by the water meter or the water heater. Many Moen faucets have a temperature limiter installed on the valve stem that prevents the user from turning the handle too far to the hot side.

Why is my bathroom faucet hard to turn?

The rubber O-rings inside your faucet wear out from age, exposure to air and exposure to heat from the hot water flowing through the faucet. As the faucet’s seals wear out, the faucet does not turn as easily since the hardened O-rings create an increased amount of friction inside the faucet.

How does a single handle shower faucet work?

By consolidating the balance of hot and cold water into a central control, single-handled showers provide an easier way to achieve the desired temperature. While these fixtures are available in an endless array of styles and finishes, each single-handled shower uses one of two underlying mechanisms: the pull-out valve and the turn-around valve.
