I installed two expensive, nice looking Moen faucets. All the others in my house are normal boring Deltas. The Deltas were very easy to install. They cause no problems. The Moens are a pain in you know where and they keep loosening.
Anyone have experience with Moen?
Yes - Moen has about the best customer service in the industry. If you are having trouble with one of their products just give them a call. If you want help solving the "loosening up" issue just ask.

Just about all of the upper end faucets have great warranty service. The issue is cost and style. Some have quirks that you have to figure out like Moen. I've had my best luck with Price Pfister, they are on the up side of cost but they stand behind their product like a rock. I've installed a few hundred and they seem to give me the least problems.

never had much problem installing any of the faucets
Delta seems to tend to be a little pricier with many little parts
Moen has less parts to change if something goes bad(the cartridge)
we recently switched to wolverine brass

you haven't seen delta"s full line, I prefer delta over moen

Delta is the best. You can spend hundreds on a faucet, and the Delta is still better.

Are kitchen faucets standard? I am trying to replace a Moen faucet with one made by Delta?

Moen has a lifetime, transferable warranty. Just send away for another. If they don't make that model anymore they should give you another. good luck

Do Moen and Delta make anti scalding shower faucets with ceramic valve that come as a package?
Feb 13, 2008 by Roy B | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
Do Moen and Delta make anti scalding shower faucets with ceramic valve that come as a package instead of trim and rough-in or valves that need to be purchased separately?
What's the best faucet out there?
Delta, Moen, Danze (Taiwan)
well I know Moen carries an anti scald line, but I'm not sure about the packaged part of it. I'd check their website for more info. My experience with Delta is that they're "throw away" faucets. I've dealt with breakage and failure from their products. My personal favorite is Kohler, but it can get spendy. American Standard has more affordable lines, if you're looking to save money. I have no experience and therefore no opinion about Danze, though I do know the name.
My suggestion is to check out the different manufactures websites. Most of them have plenty of information regarding what you're asking. I've used them plenty of times while doing specs for plumbers and clients (I'm an Interior Designer). Or you can call up your favorite plumbing supply and get them to do the legwork....lol. I've gotten stuck doing that plenty of times, even when it didn't lead to a sale.
Good luck.

Is there a lifetime warranty on 4 inch Moen faucets?
Jul 01, 2006 by granna | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I was told by a plumber that I could return the ones I had to replace and receive a refund.
Without the original receipt/etc, Moen will likely send you a replacement product as opposed to a refund. But at least you could sell that on eBay.
Look them up and phone them. They sent me a new shower head once because their old one had a problem. I ended up using it on a different shower because, like you, I had already remedied the original problem.

what are Moen faucets made out of?
Dec 17, 2008 by celine | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
My cat has Zinc poisoning and we are trying to figure out where the source is, He did not eat a penny, the only thing different he does is leaking the bathtub faucet after we shower. This model was installed in the 80's or early 90's. thanks for any thoughts.
I hate to disagree, but the tub spout has zinc in its composition. type in zinc tub spout and click on the moen faucet and look at the material composition- with a little more research, you will find that all faucets made of brass, have zinc , as it helps for strength. Look up zinc on wikipedia

cheap
The pull-out nozzle is cheap: it's plastic and doesn't firmly "lock" back into the base after pulling it out. Although it's less expensive than other faucets on the market, it's still too much money for what you get. I would not recommend this faucet.

MOEN No more
This is a nice faucet, while it last. I had it for about 5 years, the stainless steel version, it was getting harder to make it pivot and one day it stopped pivoting completely. Big crumbles of rust were falling under the sink that made me thought it was the mounting bracket that was rotting since it was covered with rust.
It wasn't it was the bearing washer inside the faucet, it rusted away in crumbles, so the faucet stopped pivoting.
There shouldn't be a problem, after all it is a pricey MOEN faucet right?
Well here is where MOEN show what they are. I wrote them asking for the part because I wasn't able to see it in the parts explode view they have in their web site. I got the answer the next day and it got me astonished:
"The part you described in your email is referred to as a bearing washer bracket and this part is crucial to the faucet's ability to swivel side to side. Unfortunately this part is not available for purchase as an individual part; it is only available when a full faucet is purchased."
Now I have a faucet that is in good shape except for the "bearing washer" and since they don't sell it I have to buy a new faucet. Moreover, the piece in question rusted away in crumbles!!! this means that they are using inferior materials in a faucet that with no doubt's will be in a humid environment.
I could have a bad product but at least I should be able to purchase the parts to repair it instead of having to but a new faucet.
OK for the price
Amazon price was great. I installed the faucet myself. The onlt reason that I did not give 5 stras is the head of the faucet quality which is not so great. Any simmilar product from any other brand would cost more without any advantage.
Doesn't last
I got this faucet about 6 years ago and have had to replace it twice because the handle broke. The company gladly gave me a new one at no charge after it broke the first time, but I had to pay a plumber to install it, so this time I'm going with another brand. Also, after a year or so the faucet extension never worked very well. Conclusion: it's way too expensive for what you are getting.
Great for IKEA sinks
We bought an ikea Farmers sink that already had a precut hole. The ikea faucet that i bought with it was terrible and had no reach at all. This one has the perfect reach to hit the middle of my sink/drain and not splash up on the backsplash like the ikea faucet did. Great buy!

Customer Reviews
Very happy
I just installed this sink faucet yesterday and cannot predict what the long term reliability will be. But I will say that so far Moen has impressed me. It installed easily with picture only instructions. They even supplied the hoses (long ones) that connect to the water valves in the wall. My brother who is a plumber said that it was rare to include hoses. The shank on the faucet allows for any thickness of counter top with out the need to puchase adapters. I thought I had broken a part and called the 1-800 support number and was talking with a clear speaking tech in 2 minutes who fed-ex'd overnight a new part just in case I would need it. One thing I learned was that Moen is not going to short change you. The faucet feels and looks high quality. Plus I feel they go out of the way to be customer focused.

Great fix for moen RV fixture
The pull-out, on/off, hot-cold, knob for the shower in the travel trailer leaked pretty bad. Water conservation is important but especially in a rv/travel trailer when your water supply is limited. The old knob actually pulled off too. During repair, it was determined there was no problem with the knob, but the valve was bad and the retaining clip had broke as well. When using this for your repair make sure your retaining clip is in good condition. It is a separate part, so order it as well if you need it. It is the part that keeps this valve, handle, and everything locked in place, it is a gold U-shaped retaining clip with a little hole in the middle and little protusions on the ends which installs beneath the stop gap (if you search" moen retaining clip" in Amazon you will see it). I highly recommend this part to repair your fixture instead of simply replacing it, replacing it fixed the leak, and the original part was from 1972. I hope it lasts another 30-40 years. The part is not cheap, but I think it is easier to replace it than to replace the whole fixture, especially in hard to reach places with limited access.

Cheap and Fast
Let's face it,this is what it is. When you need it you need it. There is no agonizing selection to ponder. The criteria is cheap and fast (like me) and I was not disappointed with this purchase. In fact there was some bogus recall on this product due to bogus environmental concerns that were in fact not applicable, that made it impossible to obtain this item locally. So I was doubly pleased with this purchase.

moen 1200 single handle cartridges
Purchased the moen 1200 single handle cartridges for my older faucets. I have been using an after market brand until I found these at Amazon. In fact I had to replace the kitchen faucet cartridge today, Christmas day. The moen cartridge works like a charm, the hot side is hot and the oold side is cold just like it's supposed to work.
Amazon and the Amazon retailer were awesome in shipping the merchandise to me in such a speedy manner during this busy time of year, thank you.
Excellent
- It's promptly delivered after I placed an order on-line.
- Great product. Exactly what I needed to replace some old Moen cartridges of bathtub faucets.
- Good price.

For DIYers
I had to replace 2 valves that were 30 years old and although they didn't leak you almost needed a wrench to use them. I opted for the 1225. I know it's plastic but I saw several people say that it was easier to use (pull-push-turn) and didn't bind up. I suppose it's dealers choice.
I put the first one in and it leaked. So I installed the second one in the same tub faucet no problem. I purchased a third one from the local hardware and tried in the second bathroom. It also leaked. I reseated it and turned the water on and before I put the clip on I adjusted it. That worked like a champ. I had trouble getting both clips on and off. It would be nice to have a new clip in the package. I recommend turning on the water and making all your adjustments (hot-cold-flow rate) before you put the clip back in. I also hate to say this but I recommend getting the Moen puller. I don't know if I could have removed the valves without it. The instructions on it were poor. What you are bacically doing with it is screwing the threaded piece in the knob screw hole and then using a pair of channel locks to tighten the outer piece against the valve opening to brute force it out. Kind of like a bering puller.
In most cases I'd recommend replacing the faucet (the cost of the tool and valve comes close to the cost of a new foucet) but these were in the shower and soldered in behind a tiled wall. I plan on remodeling the bathroom in a couple of years but didn't want to fight with them for another 2 years. MOEN 1225 Replacement Faucet Single Control Cartridge

Doesn't have what you need
Description is misleading. this does not have everything you need to install. When they say it fits M-Pact system I presume they mean that you actually have to purchase this seperately, but they don't tell you this. All you get is what is in the picture - handles and a spout, no pipes, no fittings...go to a hardware store and buy a faucet so you can check that you get everything you need.
