Opsætning og installation
This section provides general guidance for installing the Moen 3814ORB tub spout. While designed for hassle-free installation, professional plumbing assistance is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing work.
Important Note on Connection Type:
Please be aware that despite the product title, this tub spout features a gevindforbindelse, not a slip-fit connection. Ensure your existing plumbing is compatible or prepared for a threaded installation. This may require a brass nipple and appropriate coupler if replacing a rear-threaded spout.
- Forbered området: Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom. Drain any remaining water from the pipes by opening the existing tub spout and shower valve.
- Remove Old Spout: Depending on your current spout type, you may need to unscrew it or loosen a set screw underneath. Clean the pipe and wall area thoroughly.
- Forbered røret: Ensure the pipe extending from the wall is clean and free of debris. For threaded connections, apply plumber's tape (Teflon tape) clockwise around the threads of the pipe to ensure a watertight seal.
- Install New Spout: Carefully thread the Moen 3814ORB tub spout onto the pipe. Turn clockwise until it is hand-tight, then use a wrench to tighten it an additional quarter to half turn, ensuring the spout is level and facing forward. Do not overtighten.
- Test for lækager: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check for any leaks around the base of the new tub spout. If leaks occur, turn off the water, tighten slightly, and re-test.
