Use and Care Manual

Although plumbing emergencies are rare, the best way to prepare is to plan ahead.

To act swiftly when a plumbing situation occurs, familiarize yourself with the

location of main water shutoff valves, and ask your builder or a neighbor to

refer a reliable local plumber before the need arises. Moen

Incorporated

recommends the following steps to prepare for a plumbing situation.

Remember, a few minutes of your time now will ensure that a problem will be

resolved quickly and properly in the future.

Find a 24-hour plumbing contractor just in case.

Homeowners know that if anything is to go wrong in your home, it will usually

go wrong at the most inconvenient time—in the middle of the night or during a

holiday. For that reason, it is important to have handy the name of a reliable

plumbing contractor offering 24-hour service.

What to do in a plumbing emergency.

Cartridge maintenance.

If the handle on your single-handle faucet “sticks” or is difﬁcult to turn,

lubricating the cartridge may be all that’s needed.* To do this, simply

remove the cartridge and apply silicon lubricant, available at plumbing

retail centers. Do not use petroleum-based oils or jellies.

After applying silicon lubricant, reassemble the faucet.

However, if your faucet has two handles and you are experiencing this

problem, the cartridge may have to be replaced.

* Note: This does not apply to faucets with the 1255

Duralast

cartridge.

INSTALLING the

new 1234 cartridge.

If your new home is equipped with an ioDIGITAL

vertical spa, you will not need to perform

any regular system maintenance. For operating assistance and an explanation of features,

please refer to your ioDIGITAL User Guide. If you experience mechanical issues, contact a

qualiﬁed plumber to service the system.

INSTALLING the 1234 cartridge. Replace BOTH the cartridge and retaining nut.

1. Align the ribs on the side of the cartridge to seat completely in the valve body.

2. Tighten down the retaining nut until it is tight. Torque will not affect handle movement.

3. Reattach the handle.
