Install Moen Bathroom Sink Drain

Installing a Moen bathroom sink drain is a straightforward task that can be completed in a few simple steps. By following the instructions carefully, you can ensure that your drain is installed correctly and functioning properly.

Materials You'll Need:

Moen bathroom sink drain
Plumber's putty
Adjustable wrench
Screwdriver
Flashlight (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valves beneath the sink and turn them clockwise to close them. Open the faucet to release any remaining water.
Disconnect the old drain: Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the slip nut that connects the drain to the sink. Remove the old drain and discard it.
Clean the drain hole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any debris or old plumber's putty from the drain hole.
Apply plumber's putty: Roll out a snake of plumber's putty and form it into a ring around the base of the new drain.
Insert the new drain: Place the new drain into the sink hole and press down firmly to secure it. Make sure the plumber's putty forms a seal around the edges.
Tighten the slip nut: Hand-tighten the slip nut onto the drain until it is snug. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten it further, but do not overtighten.
Connect the drain pipe: Attach the drain pipe to the drain outlet and tighten the connection with a screwdriver.
Turn on the water supply: Slowly turn on the shut-off valves to allow water to flow through the drain. Check for any leaks around the drain.
Inspect the drain: Use a flashlight to inspect the drain and connections for any signs of leaks. If you notice any leaks, tighten the slip nut or connection further.
