How to Fix Loose Moen Faucet Handle 

AS A NEW HOMEOWNER AND SINGLE MOM THIS WAS SO VERY HELPFUL!!! WHOO HOO!!!! I JUST FIXED MY FAUCET!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Simple basic instructions ... very much appreciated. Thank you! Had no idea it could be that easy 😊

THANKS for posting. A lot of hex size quotes on you tube. My hex size that fixed mine was 3/32. Very tight now. And why didn't he shut the drain or at least put a knapkin on it when he mentioned it ? Also why waste water when he could turn the valves off ?

Thank you for posting. Such simple things but the guidance helps.

Thanks I’ve been trying to figure this out so simple to fix.

Note that if the Allen key is turning but not grabbing and you think that your socket is rounded or stripped, maybe it is not. Maybe you are using a metric Allen key, instead of an imperial one (or vice versa). As you know, Allen keys (like many other tools) come in sets. I grabbed the set that came with my tool set, found the largest key that can fit in the socket and tried turning. It was turning but not grabbing. I thought that the socket was rounded. Later on, I realized that there is another set of Allen keys in my tool set. Again, I found the largest key that can fit in the socket and tried turning. This time it worked like a charm. Turns out, the first key that I tried was from a metric set, where the key was 3 millimetres. The second key that I tried was from an imperial set, which was 1/8 inches (which is 3.175 millimetres). As you can observe, these are "almost" the same size, but being "almost" the same size is not enough. That additional 0.175 mm that is brought by the 1/8 inch Allen key was what was necessary for the key to properly fit the socket.

Thank you very much! In return, I offer how to remove the hard water stains; use citric acid (canning isle at Walmart) and a soft toothbrush

So easy!! I had no idea to pull off the hot/cold piece. Thanks!

So helpful!! Thank you, it was driving me nuts! I kept burning my hands since I couldn’t properly control the temperature

Hex wrench needed is 3/32" imperial or 2.5 mm in metric

VERY helpful, thank you. My wife thinks I know what I’m doing now :)

Thank you! Needed this info

Thank you! The manual doesn't even have this. I was going crazy

Super helpful! Thanks so much!

Thank you! This is so helpful. :)

Wow thank you so much

Great help, thanks!

Thanks for this !

Thank you

Thank you kindly.

Thank you Man!

Great video, thank you! However, disregards how tight i close it, the handle becomes loose in one week. What could be the suggestions? The faucet is only 1 year old.

Thanks

What if the screw is not there?

What size hex key

What should I do if it won't tighten? No matter how much I try to tighten it the handle is still very loose.

What size Allen wrench and metric or standard

What size Allen key does this require?

I assume a metric allen key is required? What size?

I did not see any loose handle. ?

Literally just came here to see what size Allen wrench, and you don’t even say! 😂

thank you
