I recently installed the model Moen 82470 in my bathroom. I had to switch
from a 3 control valve to a one control valve. I did all the soldering
myself and everything works fine...well almost. I have no cold water
pressure. I mean almost none. There is only a trickle of water that comes
out.
I've taken it apart and tested the cold water line for pressure without
the valve, and when I put the valve on I have no cold water pressure. This
is the second one I tried installing thinking that the first one I
purchased was defective.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Can anybody point me in the right
direction to look?
Thank you,
Ben
I had a similar problem with a Moen single handle faucet.
Try swapping the feed lines going in where you can undo them with a wrench.
Move the cold water supply to the hot side of the faucet and the hot supply
to the cold side.
When I did this, the problem stayed on the same side of the faucet. That is
now the cold water came out fine and the hot was flow was poor. This
verifies a bad casting in the faucet. A call to Moen explaining what I did
got me a new replacement.
