In response to Re: moen roman tub faucet operates backwards
I have not worked on those a great deal, but if I remember correctly, there is a blue adapter on the cold and a red one on the hot. Remove them and interchange them and the handles will work properly. : I just installed a moen roman tub faucet. The valve kit (model 4999) that I was given from the plumbers supply : store had to be assembled from 3 pieces. Now that I have it installed the cold handle needs to be rotated : counterclockwise to turn on and the hot handle rotates clockwise to turn on. So basically it operates : backwards from what I expected. : Is there anything I can do short of removing the faucet and reassembling it to resolve this problem. : Thanks
