Danco 10002 Universal Trim Kit for Moen Faucets

Joeboxco : Could not use it arrived missing gaskets, screws and the small cylinder cover. Would give negative stars if possible. Absolutely zero quality control went into this supposedly complete assembly. Will be returning and thanks for wasting both of our time.

shopping4all: I wouldn't normally review a product like this, but other reviews saved me a lot of time when researching the subject. I had a leak from my bathroom shower. I managed to remove the old Moen plate and knob handle to see that I had the Moentrol valve (the one before the PosiTemp). I also needed to replace the shower head and decided to update all with matte black. Turns out that this Danco set is literally one of the only viable options on the market for this valve in matte black.

An important note: a few reviewers mentioned the handle being loose and wiggly, and after installing, I had the same thing. I was disappointed, but tried one last thing: I took it apart and bought a new cartridge (Moen 1225, $40CAD at Home Depot) and reinstalled. It's now perfect. The handle slides in and out with zero resistance and turns seamlessly. The escutcheon is plastic, but the overall look is exceptional and clean. Don't scratch the handle or over-work the black screws, as the imperfections will show. Otherwise, this was a perfect solution to avoid opening up the wall and replacing the old plumbing.

MARISSA SUTTON MARISSA SUTTON : I did my research in the fixtures I was replacing to ensure capatability. So the change our was simple and seemless. The actual product is plastic and cheap, not coated metal, so I imagine imm be replacing them at some point again, but for now they are gorgeous

JackiJacki: If you have a Moen Moentrol valve and trim, which has been discontinued by Moen, this trim set will allow you to change your trim without the major work of replacing the valve.
I was updating all my fixtures in the bathroom to black. I could find everything I needed except the shower valve trim. After several calls to Moen and other shower trim providers, this Danco black shower trim was the only option available, even on ebay. There were still a few Moentrol trim sets available in other finishes but not in flat black. The handle wasn't the design I was looking for and because of the shape of the handle, it's a little difficult to pull out the handle on a Moen Moentrol valve. That is why Moen shaped the Moentrol handle in a tee shape, since you pull out a Moentrol valve to turn on the water.
After seeing that Danco previously updated this trim because of user comments, I'd be surprised if they don't offer additional handle options for the pull out Moentrol valve within a few months.
Anyhow, the installation was a breeze and very easy to follow. They even have a video guide, a bit over the top, but for those who have never replaced a trim set, I'd bet it...

Martin: Replace knob with handle to enable senior persons to be able to work faucet without help. Did not fit flush to wall and seems flimsy. Made of Plastic and instructions were confusing with pictures that were lacking Troubleshooting done by researching internet. Would not buy again

Joy T.: Price point for this product is very reasonable the backplate is plastic but so are the ones at Home Depot that say they're Moen brand. I was concerned because people are having trouble installing wobbly knob excetera. While putting this together I discovered a couple of reasons why people are having this issue. But when you understand how the knob is supposed to go together and actually get it tightened properly it works just fine.

PeterPeter: This Danco 10001 Universal Trim Kit for Moen in Chrome is an excellent product. It took me about 1 hour to get through the instructions and complete the installation. The instructions were easy to follow and the good quality parts fit properly. Removal of the old original Moen parts and the installation of the Danco replacement parts was easy and straightforward. The unit works as expected and as you can see in the accompanying photo, it looks very nice. Thanks Danco for making a great replacement product. Highly recommended.

[CAUTION NOTE: One important thing to remember if you're going to use this bath faucet handle is to grab and pull the handle by the centre of the handle to turn the water on and to push the handle back in the same fashion to turn the water off. Do not use the handle lever to turn the water on or off as this may put undue stress on the unit. The lever portion of the handle should only be used to adjust the water temperature by turning the lever from left to right and vice versa.]

TheZeke: The trim piece is plastic but it looks real enough. The parts inside the trim look a little cheap one assembled - but just a little. At first glance it looks good though.

The longer handle (vs. the knob) is a little wobbly but I don't think it's going to get worse unless someone abuses it. I've tightened things properly but it's still has a little bit of play.

Overall I'd recommend this if you want to save a few bucks and still want something that looks good.

Julian Enriquez: Easy to install but you still have to pull the knob. Left to right is just to adjust the temperature

steve: This was perfect and very happy this worked out! I have an older home with a "Push and Pull" type plumbing system. Bought a kit at Lowes only to find out all those styles don't work for what I had, unless I replaced the guts of my plumbing inside my wall and tiles. No way did I want to take that on. Lowes also only sold the plastic-glass type sets for this system.
So I was stuck until I found this and the color I needed. It worked great and easy to do. It has 3 types of Hole patterns which were huge and allows lots of flexibility for install to line up with what's in your wall. The fancy knob was awesome so I didn't have to use the glass knob. You can rotate everything to make it all work.
The directions were just a bit tricky, but spend the 10 min. to read them and it's a breeze. The main reason they were tricky is for all the different variations and parts, which is great in all reality. Just get the parts and steps for what option you choose and it's no problem. The bronze color was great looking, lots of high end parts, options, and I thought pretty durable. Everything fit nicely and it seems built to last.

NOTE: Other reviews said how uneven...
