Setting aside things like being mostly made of plastic with a fake metal-look finish, the real deal breaker here is that (for an old Moen faucet from the 90s) it is badly designed and failed after the first use.The 'push' motion to turn off the water all rides on a single screw, holding its position on a 1/8" piece of plastic. Once the plastic wears even a little bit, the handle no longer closes the valve when pushed in, and the faucet is stuck in the 'on' position.You can remove the handle and push the valve screw is by hand. But if I wanted guests to be pushing and pulling on the valve screw itself, I wouldn't have bought a trim kit.0/5 starts, would not buy again.

This kit offers universal compatibility with Moen models, a modern design refresh, and durable construction with a single-handle for effortless temperature control. It's an affordable way to upgrade your shower without a complicated installation.

It's worth to fix the old shower without replace the whole unit.

Remplacé veille poignée en plastique sur valve de douche Moen qui s'ouvre en tirant sur la poignée et avec l'ajustement de la chaleur en pivotant celle-ci. Je n'ai même pas changé le couvert chromé... j'ai laissé l'original car il est en acier et en bon état. Installé en 3 minutes avec vis fournie plus courte que l'originale, car l'originale était trop longue avec la nouvelle poignée. Très satisfait!

4 months of use and the finish on this product is already peeling off, 4 months and I can’t return it and I’m now jumping through hoops to try and have it replaced. Honestly save yourself the headache and move on to something and save your money.If I could give this product a zero… I would.

The "metal" handle and the plastic faceplate actually match quite closely in appearance. However, the handle seems to be made of cast aluminum spray-painted with a rough-texture paint, and is very uncomfortable to touch and hold.I would recommend the chrome finish instead, even though normally I would prefer the brushed nickel look.

The best part is that one can buy this and know that it comes with multiple parts that make it very likely to fit your specific application. I installed this yesterday in about an hour and it looks and works great. Time will tell how well it holds up, looks like metal but in reality its VERY WELL chromed, sturdy plastic! It comes with a preinstalled gasket around the perimeter of the base and there are other gaskets that make this a product that you can install with the confidence that you are very unlikely to experience any water damage. Would give it 5 stars, BUT, the instruction sheet leaves something to be desired, its overly complex and confusing; online installation videos show how easy it is to install for most applications!

Price point for this product is very reasonable the backplate is plastic but so are the ones at Home Depot that say they're Moen brand. I was concerned because people are having trouble installing wobbly knob excetera. While putting this together I discovered a couple of reasons why people are having this issue. But when you understand how the knob is supposed to go together and actually get it tightened properly it works just fine.

This Danco 10001 Universal Trim Kit for Moen in Chrome is an excellent product. It took me about 1 hour to get through the instructions and complete the installation. The instructions were easy to follow and the good quality parts fit properly. Removal of the old original Moen parts and the installation of the Danco replacement parts was easy and straightforward. The unit works as expected and as you can see in the accompanying photo, it looks very nice. Thanks Danco for making a great replacement product. Highly recommended.[CAUTION NOTE: One important thing to remember if you're going to use this bath faucet handle is to grab and pull the handle by the centre of the handle to turn the water on and to push the handle back in the same fashion to turn the water off. Do not use the handle lever to turn the water on or off as this may put undue stress on the unit. The lever portion of the handle should only be used to adjust the water temperature by turning the lever from left to right and vice versa.]

The trim piece is plastic but it looks real enough. The parts inside the trim look a little cheap one assembled - but just a little. At first glance it looks good though.The longer handle (vs. the knob) is a little wobbly but I don't think it's going to get worse unless someone abuses it. I've tightened things properly but it's still has a little bit of play.Overall I'd recommend this if you want to save a few bucks and still want something that looks good.

This was perfect and very happy this worked out! I have an older home with a "Push and Pull" type plumbing system. Bought a kit at Lowes only to find out all those styles don't work for what I had, unless I replaced the guts of my plumbing inside my wall and tiles. No way did I want to take that on. Lowes also only sold the plastic-glass type sets for this system.So I was stuck until I found this and the color I needed. It worked great and easy to do. It has 3 types of Hole patterns which were huge and allows lots of flexibility for install to line up with what's in your wall. The fancy knob was awesome so I didn't have to use the glass knob. You can rotate everything to make it all work.The directions were just a bit tricky, but spend the 10 min. to read them and it's a breeze. The main reason they were tricky is for all the different variations and parts, which is great in all reality. Just get the parts and steps for what option you choose and it's no problem. The bronze color was great looking, lots of high end parts, options, and I thought pretty durable. Everything fit nicely and it seems built to last.NOTE: Other reviews said how uneven this was against the wall - Could be, but in most cases shouldn't be.I ran into this at first, but quickly realized this: On the back side of the main plate, there is a smaller outer circle that sticks out further then the main plate. (Size of the handle area shown in the pick) This is meant to go INSIDE the wall. I had to chip out a little bit of tile so that it could do that. Once that part sits into the wall, then the main plate is perfectly flush. I didn't even have to use caulking it's so flush.If you do not have a hole in your tile around the plumbing, then this could give you some issues. You will need about a 3-4" hole in your tile where the plumbing is. I luckily had this. But, I would have had to rip a much bigger hole to try and replace the inner plumbing joints with the new style faucets at Lowes. I felt it was extremely universal and it was an easy install.Great product. Thanks

We just got our shower stall tile and tray re-glazed, which gave us the opportunity to replace the old brass fixtures with nickel. This seemed to be a reasonably-priced solution for our Moen setup.As another person posted, the inner part of the trim sits about a 1/4" inch lower than the outer edge of the trim, unlike the old brass plate. We have fairly-generic four-inch white tiles. And of course, the squared-out area of the tile would not accommodate it. So, I took one of the inner plates and held it up to the hole, and used a sharpie to draw arcs where I needed to cut the tile. I put some wide painters tape around the perimeter for reinforcement. I grabbed my drill and some tile-drilling bits, and started carefully drilling holes just outside the arc, knowing there was an ample amount of safety margin. I took a pair of pliers and carefully broke off the two half-moon shaped pieces of tiles. Finally, I took a rotary tool with a grinding bit to smooth out the edges a bit. The plate was now able to sit flush in place. (NOTE: I had some spare tiles downstairs, so before I did this for real, I put one in my bench vice and practiced this on a couple of them. Main lessons-learned: use a fairly-small bit, and use gentle pressure and let the bit do the work, lest you break off a much bigger chunk than you want. I certainly didn't want to risk breaking our newly-coated tile. )The rest was pretty straightforward. The long screws that hold the plate in place were barely long enough; maybe four or five turns worth. Since the plate is plastic, you'll definitely want to be careful to not overtighten it. Also, the large o-ring around the plate doesn't seem very thick...it almost seems like it bottoms out before the plastic edge contacts the tile. I haven't decided whether I'll use clear caulk around the edge yet.Finally, the metal handle seems to fit just fine on mine, with no wiggling like others have reported. YMMV.All in all, it required about an hour more work than probably needed due to the inner depth, and the plastic doesn't seem especially durable, but the metal handle will probably last for many years.
