Best Tip Ever For Changing Shower Cartridges! #diy #plumbing #helpingothers @moenfaucets
What happens here
Position the escutcheon plate back onto the wall and secure it with its two screws. Place the handle adapter onto the cartridge stem, then slide the handle on and fasten it with the screw. Snap the decorative cap back into place. Turn the water supply back on and test the faucet. Finally, apply a bead of silicone caulk around the top and sides of the escutcheon plate to seal it against the wall.
