Gibson - Poor Install Tolerances
The specification and install images show the controls very close to the escutcheon plate. It's a nice look and why it was selected. The way this was installed, there is a huge gap between the controls and escutcheon plate. According to Moen, this is perfectly acceptable. It looks unfinished and like a mistake. Very disappointing.

Hello MPLS22 and thank you for the feedback you posted on the Moen website. The Moen T2901 Gibson Posi-Temp Valve-only trim when installed has a gap between the handle and the escutcheon plate to ensure the screws on the plate do not interfere with the operation of the handle. Depending on the installation, it is acceptable for this gap to be between ½” – 1”. Many times, this gap is defined by the amount of room behind the shower wall the installer has for installing the valve. Moen does offer an Escutcheon Extension Ring that will work with a 7” round escutcheon plate, part number 162. The Escutcheon Extension Ring will push the currently installed escutcheon plate forward ½”. We see that you have already worked with our product specialists and we thank you for choosing Moen products.
    Decent quality but has flaws
    Functions great but has a big gap (over an inch) in between the handle and the mounting plate on the wall. Also the seal around the key slot doesn't fit well so water can get through it. The plastic key/max temp adjuster have a lot of slop and don’t sit tight.

    Hello Sean and thank you for the feedback you posted on the Home Depot website. We are sorry to hear that the T2901BN Gibson Single-Handle Posi-Temp Valve Only Faucet Trim Kit in Brushed Nickel did not meet your expectations. The gap between the handle and the escutcheon will depend on where the valve body is placed behind the wall; the gap can be reduced by 1/2" by purchasing the 162BN trim ring which fits behind the escutcheon. While there will be a small amount of space around the stop tube that goes in the center of the escutcheon, water should drip off the bottom of the stop tube. The splined front part of the temperature limit stop slides into the groves of the back piece and is held in place by the Phillips screw that goes through the handle adapter. If these parts are loose, we suggest uninstalling and reinstalling them. Our product specialists are available for pre-purchase, installation and warranty assistance. They can be reached at 1-800-289-6636 and are currently available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm Eastern Time. Moen

      Cosmetically ugly and flawed design, but can be improved.
      As seen even in the "stock" Moen photo, there is a large cosmetically ugly gap between the base of the handle and the flange ring. Even the fasteners are exposed, making it even uglier, and they aren't even symmetrical, yet making it look even worse. To limit this ugly gap the depth of the shower valve would have to be installed absolutely perfect based on the thicknesses of every material that will be used on your shower (fiberglass enclosure, tile thickness, backer board, etc.), which is nearly impossible. Some type of adjustable/collapsible sleeve provided by Moen seems like a reasonable solution, but nothing is provided. I cut a required length of 2.25" (2_1/4") O.D. (Outside Diameter) Stainless Steel automotive exhaust pipe. I then spun it using a hand drill to put a brushed finish on it using fine grade sandpaper. I abraded the inside of the handle base to provide proper "tooth" for the adhesive to glue this extension to the inside. I used Gorilla Glue super glue. I also ground the head of the screws to enable my manufactured extension to fill the gap as much as possible and limit the screw heads from being visible.

      Hello Mike and thank you for your opinion and feedback you posted on the Home Depot website. The Moen T2901BN has a gap between the handle and the escutcheon plate to ensure the screws on the plate do not interfere with the operation of the handle, we do not advise the trim to be altered. In a standard install the gap can be anywhere from 1/2” to 1” depending on the circumstances of the installation, which include the finished wall thickness and room behind the finished wall. Should you require any warranty or pre-purchase assistance, please feel free to call us at 800-289-6636. Our business hours are 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday. Moen

        Easy to install if you already have the positemp valve. Downside is the base of the handle is not flush with the wall plate. I installed 3 of them.

        Honestly… this thing is so smooth I will be replacing the other two in my house! I installed it myself about a month ago now and it’s still awesome.

        It's nice and all that but the handle sticks out farther than I wanted. The picture seems to show the handle closer to the plate which helps it cover up the plate screws. But it's just not the case. That was the main reason I got it, but I'm not returning it.

        This MOEN Gibson single-handle posi-temp faucet trim kit in chrome earns a four-star review because of the difficulty assembling the posi-temp parts - which are a small plastic part with a miniature screw used to attach it.

        Looks nice
        Moen is the only brand I will buy. They have earned my trust and business over the years. I removed 22 year old trim from the bathrooms to modernize the appearance. I was totally impressed with how well the old trim still looked. I'm sure I will be just as pleased with the replacement trim. trim
