Agree there - hopefully you can get it working enough to use it and then get the parts to fix it quickly after the holidays.

I think he mentioned that SWMBO has already put in an order for a new sink and faucet. Apart from that Moen "buy it for looks, buy it for life" means you get your parts from them and that takes awhile.

Your right on both being new and even with this untimely "hiccup", I'm still a big Moen fan and I'll be installing a new one.

Mixing 50/50: for critical uses, I use a reloading scale to measure each color on a 3x5" card.

Duck tape: you hillbillys still use that crap? Much beteer is Bubba Tape . Red poly stuff, sticks like crazy, and leaves NO RESIDUE.

If the pictures come through, this is the culprit

I built here in 2010 and counting the Moens...four lavs, one kitchen, one laundry, two bath/shower, one tub. All purchased through a plumbing supply house (and I'm sure there is a difference based on the questions you have to answer when you call). My goal was to keep the Moen brand so a few spare parts here and there could be deployed where-ever needed. That didn't work out because it seems the cartridges are not uniform but the plan made sense at the time. I remodeled the MIL house a few years ago and installed Moen shower there that failed pretty quickly and I didn't have time to wait for the warranty parts (MIL is close to 90 and everything is NOW...the replacement cartridge was expensive). Btw, Delta makes some good stuff also.

My house was built in 1973 and has Emco brand plumbing fixtures. I am positive they were at the time the cheapest ones on the market but all I have ever had to do every decade or so is replace a cartridge or two and those are cheap too.

UL181 3" peel back is pretty much my go to duct tape. Approved for and works on ductwork (metal, not fiberglass ductwork), so I call it duct tape

For all use, eyeball equal amounts of each color on a paper plate (one color on first, the other color on top of it) and stir with plastic knife. Throw paperplate and plastic knife away after use.
Using this method help me keep some parts on my VW for another 100k or so, no complaints.
