Replacing Moen Roman Tub Faucet - How To Get Out Old Hardware

Moen manufactures faucets for kitchen and bath. After continued use, parts can become worn and develop problems. If the bathtub faucet starts leaking, or not easily move the handle or the faucet does not shut all the way, there could be a valve cartridge damaged or frayed. The cartridge valve monitors the output of hot and cold water tap. This problem can be fixed with a new cartridge.

Why the hell cant I get my faucet

To the damn water hoses? I recently purchased 4 new Moen bathroom faucets and instead of having copper feeder lines with brazed or soldered on male threaded pieces I have 16 inches of soft copper tubing. This tubing is 3/8th outer diameter. I have tried compression fittings from Lowe's and Homedepot. The compression fittings say they are 3/8 but they are several thousandth's bigger than my copper pipe and the compression nut literally ovals before it will get tight enough to seal. I tried getting solder on fittings but there doesn't appear to be the correct parts at Lowes or HD. I am pissed off to no end with my friggen multiple trips to the god damned store and I can't...

  • Avatar banderson Plumbing Question. All of our fittings are Kohler brand. Do I HAVE to install Kohler fixtures??
    Mar 22, 2007 by banderson | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

    I have been told we have to use all Kohler brand fixtures in the house we are building because when the rough plumbing was installed, they used Kohler valves. Is this true? Is there some way the fittings can be universal and we can purchase say, a Fontaine brand faucet even thought the plumbing out of the wall is Kohler brand? HELP! I DID ask a plumber. I have been told 2 different things. I wanted to order a bunch of fixtures on eBay and the store told me I had to buy Kohler brand or they wouldnt fit. Maybe its the sinks and toilets that need to be Kohler, and any brand for faucets?

    • First I will state that I am a licensed plumber. Hope that s not a shock to some of you yahooers to see a lowly plumber here on the boardsAnyway, now that s out of the way i shall continue They way you have your terms set you seem a bit confused in regards to your plumbing fixtures . You mentioned the "rough in" plumbing but you never mentioned what "rough in". Was it a 1st rough, 2nd rough, 3rd rough or final rough? These matter to help answer your question. Typically, with the 1st rough the only plumbing that is being done is underground work in the basement …

  • Avatar Boo How do you fix a leaky fawcet?

    My bathtub cold water faucet is leaking. Like dripping a bit and I wondered if there was an easy way to fix this?

    • Sure. Is there a manufacturer noted on the bathtub fixture, like Delta or American Standard? If so, start with the manufacturer s web page, and/or take a good clear picture of the fixture to a good hardware store for help. Older faucets may have traditional valve seats and O rings they re a little trickier to replace, but not hard. Newer ones have cartridges unscrew the right bit, take out the old cartridge, drop in a new one, put things back together and you re done. Fairly typical instructions:

  • Avatar DV Bethroom remodel - $4,800. Is this reasonable. More details are below.?
    Jun 13, 2009 by DV | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

    My bathroom is a 5X10. I am having the toilet, sink, and all fixtures replaced with Moen faucets and shower head. I am also having a tub surround intalled - It is a reconstituted granite type surround. The florring will also be completed with sheet vinyl and base trim. The total estimate is $4,800. Does this sound reasonable?

    • I d say it s a little high Toilets, sinks, and faucet fixtures/shower heads are EASY, no brainers. A tub surround is a little tricker, but, it doesn t sound like you re having the tub removed and a new tub put in, (now THAT would eat up cost). Vinyl sheet flooring and base trim, another piece of cake. Mostly, what you re paying for here, as far as labour goes in this project, is: time and know-how . Basically, where you get into COST is when you actually do Construction ; and that really isn t happening here, save for the tub surround. But then, even that is pre-fab, (it s pretty easy …
