Explaining The Moen Bathroom Faucet Parts

Can you recognize the parts above? If not, let me introduce you to these components in the diagram that contains numbers.

1 Stands for Washer

This component ensures friction and spread the load so that the lever or handle insert fits on the handle compartment. It also blocks the leakage of liquid when passing.

2 Stands for Lever or Handle Insert

It’s a metal path that goes inside the handle compartment. This part moves to control the water flow of hot or cold temperatures.

3 Stands for Small Chassis

Made out of metal, this is a fitting that goes inside the handle assembly. It helps to make the path for water flow go in a specific direction.

4 Stands for Handle Adapter Kit

This part contains one wave washer, one screw, and a hot & cold adapter. All of these components help to hold the small chassis.

5 Stands for Lift Rod, Strap, & Clip Assembly

It looks like a sleek object that consists of a lift rod, strap, and clip to sit on the deck. This holds the deck in place securely.

6 Stands for Cartridge

This component regulates cold and hot water flow through contact. It also controls the water flow at the right temperature.

7 Stands for Cartridge Nut

It is a usual nut that goes inside the cartridge to hold this part in the proper place.

8 Stands for Hub & Elbow Assembly

It controls the cold and hot water flow through the elbow side. This part also includes a cartridge and escutcheon nut on the interior side which can be seen if you remove the metal shell.

9 Stands for Deck Gasket

Built out of plastic or rubber material, this seals the connection beneath the deck. It also contains holes for the screws to fit inside. 

10 Stands for Hardware Pack

This component fits under the deck gasket in order to fit the pipe and other handle assemblies like cartridge, deck, level handle insert, and handle adapter.

11 Stands for O Ring

It is a silicon or rubber stuff that holds the pop-up plug and pipe to reduce the leaking water flow from the metal components.

12 Stands for Drain Seat

This part seals the drain component that secures the liquid from seeping out of the gaps simply by pressing it to open or close. 

13 Stands for Aerator

It is the Moen bathroom faucet aerator that lessens the water flow through small holes and controls the stream.

Moen Bathroom Faucet Parts Assembly

• Place the Moen bathroom faucet on an even surface. Now you want to place the gasket at the exceptionally low part of the faucet. The pillars beneath the faucet must be aligned with the gasket holes.
• The faucet with gasket is ready to be taken to the sink top where you need to place it on the holes. Make sure the pillars are nicely in the holes. The spout of the faucet shall be facing you once inserted into sink holes.
• Tighten the nuts little by little and make movements on the faucet to get the right position. Improper tightening and positioning can damage the sink and faucet, so be careful.
• If the sink bottom is not entirely flat the fit won’t be accurate for the faucet and nuts will stay loose causing leakage at any time.
• To prevent this issue, you need a joint washer. Add it to the area between the mounting nuts and the faucet pillar. And it shall help in the tight fit of mounting nuts and stability of the faucet.
• Try moving the faucet and if there’s any movement then you need to also use another hole that should be located behind the faucet body.
• Use the faucet kit to get the lift rod and insert it in the hole to ensure the faucet does not move. You should be able to move the rod up and down. Hand-tighten the nuts.
• And there you have it! The assembly of faucet parts into the sink is complete and you can move on to the drain plug installation.
