Q:My shower has a Moen "thick wall extension kit" # 96945 1", 96955-2" also with the no. MT-654D. The extension resulted in a poor installation as the handle sticks out too far and handle is wobbly. What kit can I purchase to correct this?

Answer This Question

A:  Hell jeff and thank you for your interest in Moen products. A gap of up to 1" is considered normal, If you are using the 1" extension and the handle is too far out and the gap is over 1/2", you can install the 162 escutcheon extension if your current escutcheon plate is round and 7" in diameter. The 162 plate will go behind your current escutcheon to close the gap by 1/2". The valve body can also be moved behind the wall to correct the gap. Please contact our Consumer Services Center for technical assistance; they can be reached at 800-289-6636. Our current business hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 7:00 pm (EST).

        Q:My Moen valve was originally installed over 30 yrs. ago but is very similar to the 96945 kit you now offer. I need to extend over 1- inch to get the old valve to work. Can I use the 96945 kit to make it work and do I need a 2- inch kit? Thanks, Tom M.

        A:  Hello TomM and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The Moen Posi-Temp 2 in. Handle Extension Kit in Chrome is designed to extend the cartridge to handle connection an additional 2 inches for a Posi-temp rough-in valve installed too deep into the wall. A Posi-temp valve has a handle that rotates to turn the water on. If your handle pulls out to turn the water on this kit will not fit your valve. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call us at 800-289-6636. Our business hours are 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday.

            Excellent int he sense the it provides multiple bolts so you can customize it to your needs. Be sure to measure the diameter of the neck as I had to reuse the old one that was on my shower kit.
