We've started 2 so far, i had to camera the mains today to locate underground for some additional drain installs and they have that black goop sh!t in them, that is the stankenest sh!t i've ever smelled. I dont know what it is about that coffee and syrup but dayum that stuff be nasty.

Moen is the Superior product. Not like delta and their garbage mixing valves, its either hot, or cold, and the seats and springs that have to be replaced every 14 months.

Can I ask what your winning bid was per unit???

They’re both junk actually but the Delta is better in my opinion.

One rough with multiple cartridges And trim that change how the faucet functions.

Moen can cause big problems if the cartridge comes apart inside the valve. Delta doesn’t have that fatal flaw.

I Dont care for Moen either,always been a delta faucet person

Delta balls with the seats and springs hold up really well here, especially compared to their cartridge models. Delta valves newer than 30yrs old here are very rare and would be seen as hack/diy because they always come from a box store. Moen and Symmons are the most popular here, Kohler would be a close second.

Kohler shower valves are worst than delta. Their standard shower trim is BS. that threaded collar that the handle spins down on to lock the face plate down is sh!t. Never seen a face plate straight as it should be on older units that have been used and abused.

Yup, I think it's just Kohler Krap. I prefer Symmons. Unfortunately our local supply houses favor Kohler and Kohler spends money on advertising in such a way that reaches our customers. We WERE a Kohler dealer years ago, when their stuff was quality.

Same deal at the local Fergs here but its delta. Dude has to be getting a kick back, a few GCs send custys there and they always pick damn delta. Their roman tub valve with their twisted copper outlets, and then the dam flat head screws with the washers, pain in the ass crap. not worth a damn.

Hey, don’t get me wrong. I love selling people a $65 cartridge. It’s an easy day to change shower cartridges and the like. Easy money even if I have to rip the wall open and replace it all. Inside, air conditioned and usually nice clean people that are glad I’m there.

I’m grateful, I have the easy life for being a plumber. Doing repairs in mostly new homes. My days of doing **** work are over if I want them to be.

you mean you wouldn't crawl under a 77' model double wide, crawl through the roach sh!t and wet insulation to shark bite that busted poly pipe back together no more?

 

[sparky]

Yes. You can.

Ok,I'm asking what your price was per unit,I bid on one in my area few months back but we didn't get it

I passed that stage around 1997.

I just ordered custy lady a Moen Positemp Brantford Shower trim in ORB. $50 off eBay.

She painted her chrome one oil rubbed bronze.

I pulled all the paint off it trying to get it off the handle adapter. The adapter was pot metal. It welded itself to the handle then the adapter broke.

I don’t have one on the truck so I had to run up to the ace hardware and pay $18 for a Danco handle for temporary use. Store was only a mile away but still……what a POS. Custy paid for it but still…….

Moen needs to make their set screws deeper…..the Allen wrench only inserts a tiny fraction. It needs 1/8” purchase…….

 

[TerryTotoSucks]

Just bought me a new 7/64 Allen wrench off the EBay. Bought a single. Klein brand so it’ll be different and I’ll know it’s for the Moen POSI-TEMP

POSI stands for “ Piece Of **** Indeed “
