Measurements
These are shown in the drawings.
The depth measurement is critical. Use the front face of the plaster ground as a reference point for the finished wall
position, including tile ( 1-3/4"[44mm] )
. The supply piping centerline should be a maxium of 2" (51mm) and a minimum of 1" (25mm) behind the wall surface.
Use thick wall handle extension kit 96945 for wall thickness 13/16" to 1-13/16". Use handle kit 96955 for wall thickness 1-13/16" to 2-13/16".
Available with and without stops.
Connections are either 1/2 inch I.P.S. pipe or 1/2 inch copper sweat connections.
If the Moen Slip Fit spout is used, a 1/2 inch copper drop and lookout may be used.
POSI-TEMP
TUB AND SHOWER VALVES
Always turn water off before disassembling the valve. Open valve handle to relieve water
pressure and to insure that complete water shut-off has been accomplished.
Before turning water on during either rough-in or trim-out, make sure that cartridge retainer clip is in place.
The cartridge and retainer clip were properly installed and tested before leaving the factory. Although it is unlikely, it is never-
theless possible that through the handling of the valve by any number of persons the retainer clip may not be properly installed.
This should be carefully checked at time of rough-in and trim-out. If the retainer clip is not properly installed, water pressure
could force the cartridge out of the casting. Personal injury or water damage to the premises could result.
