How does Moen control hot and cold water?
Most widespread faucets offer the advantage of Moen’s M•PACT® Common Valve System. With wallmounted faucets, one handle controls hot water and the other controls cold. Temperatures can be adjusted by controlling the volume of water flowing through each water line with the handles. Hot and cold water lines connect to each side of the faucet.

How can I fix a Moen faucet that is still leaking after?
I had a leaky Moen faucet (Moen 4600) so I removed the old cartridge and replaced it with a new brass replacement cartridge (model 1200.) Since replacing the cartridge I now have a leak from the valve stem, that leaks faster the more I open the valve.

Why does my Moen shower not turn on?
Verify the handle is being pulled out to turn the water on. If the handle is only being rotated, the water will not turn on. Both hot and cold water MUST be supplied to the valve to get ANY water from the unit. If the valve has stops, both will need to be opened. If your Moentrol valve has these, they will be located on the inlets of the valve.

How do you remove a Moen shower cartridge?
You remove the cartridge by taking off the handle, limit stop, plastic cover plate and chrome escutcheon, which is held on by three screws. After turning off the water, pull the retaining pin with needle-nose pliers to release the cartridge.
