Installation Guide for Moen Genta Faucet WS84760SRN
The Moen Genta Faucet WS84760SRN is designed for single-hole installation or can be adapted to a three-hole setup with an optional escutcheon. The manual includes clear, step-by-step instructions with diagrams to ensure a smooth installation process.
3.1 Pre-Installation Requirements
Before installing the Moen Genta Faucet WS84760SRN, ensure your sink configuration matches the faucet’s design. The faucet is designed for single-hole installation but can also be adapted to a three-hole setup using the included optional escutcheon. If your sink has three holes, verify they are spaced correctly (2 holes on center). The faucet requires a minimum hole diameter of 1 inch for single-hole installation or 1-5/16 inches for three-hole setups with the escutcheon. Additionally, check the faucet’s spout height (5-7/8 inches) and reach (8-15/32 inches) to ensure compatibility with your sink. Shut off the water supply before starting the installation. Gather necessary tools, such as an adjustable wrench, pliers, and screwdrivers. Clear the area around the sink to provide ample workspace. Review the manual thoroughly to understand the process and ensure all parts are included. Familiarize yourself with Moen’s Duralast cartridge and the spot-resistant finish to maintain the faucet’s appearance. Lastly, confirm the faucet’s finish matches your bathroom decor for a cohesive look.
3.2 Step-by-Step Installation Process
Begin by turning off the water supply to prevent any leaks during installation. Place the faucet through the sink’s hole, ensuring it is centered and aligned properly. Secure the faucet from beneath the sink using the provided mounting ring and washer. Tighten the mounting nuts by hand, then use a wrench to ensure they are snug but not over-tightened.
Next, connect the water supply lines to the faucet’s inlet ports using the supplied quick-connect fittings. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. Attach the drain assembly, aligning the non-metallic waste with the sink’s drain hole. Apply plumber’s putty around the drain assembly for a watertight seal and tighten the mounting nut.
Mount the handle onto the faucet, ensuring proper alignment for smooth operation. Connect the lift rod to the handle and the drain assembly, securing it with the provided clip. Turn the water supply back on and check all connections for leaks. Adjust the cartridge if necessary to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.
Test the faucet by turning the handle to ensure smooth operation and check for any leaks. Once satisfied, clean up any excess putty or debris and your Moen Genta Faucet WS84760SRN is ready for use.
Maintenance and Care Tips
Regularly clean the faucet with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the finish. Dry the faucet after use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup. Check for leaks and address them promptly.

4.1 Cleaning the Faucet
Cleaning the Moen Genta Faucet WS84760SRN is essential to maintain its appearance and functionality. Start by wiping the faucet with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth to avoid scratching the finish.

To remove mineral buildup or hard water stains, apply white vinegar to a cloth and gently rub the affected areas. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry the faucet to prevent water spots. Regular cleaning ensures the faucet retains its shine and performs optimally. For tough stains, let the vinegar solution sit for a few minutes before wiping clean.

Use the Moen Duralast 1255 ceramic disc cartridge for replacement. For the aerator, unscrew it from the spout and install the new one.
