John Plumber, Aqualux Studio guides
John Plumber is an experienced plumber who writes the articles on the Aqualux Studio blog. In them he shares his personal opinion and hands-on experience with Moen faucets, valves and shower parts.
Please note: the articles are personal experience, not step-by-step instructions or professional advice for your specific installation. Always follow the manufacturer's installation guide for your exact model, check local plumbing codes, and hire a licensed plumber if you are not sure.
Aqualux Studio is an independent US online store for genuine Moen bathroom faucets, kitchen faucets, shower systems, tub and shower trim kits, shower valves and replacement parts. The store is operated by SILK & SAND L.L.C., 299 NW 84th Way, Coral Springs, Florida 33071. We are not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Moen Incorporated.
The guides cover the questions we get about the products we sell: which cartridge or valve a faucet uses, how trim kits and rough-in valves fit together, what to check before replacing a part, and how Moen finishes and platforms such as Posi-Temp, M-CORE and MotionSense differ. Model numbers and specifications in the guides come from Moen product data and from the listings in our catalog. Always confirm the exact model on your fixture before ordering a part.
