 Moen T6125 Feb 23, 2011
By J. Patterson

I bought this for a customer to replace an old Moen faucet.I would have given it 5 stars but the plastic mounting tube wrench was not in the box.it was hard to get to the mounting nut with a basin wrench. the moen box should be strapped closed or at least factory tape so items in the box don't go missing.After job was done it looked and worked great. generally Moen products give me great service.

Nice faucet but incomplete Jan 12, 2013
By CT
When it arrived, I was happy with the finish and quality but found out AFTERWARD that I needed to spend a fair amount more to buy a kit that is required. This faucet is only the visual part you see. You need to buy the matching kit that includes the drain, hot and cold unworkings, and all the mechanics to work the faucet. It's a very expensive faucet and to find out I needed an extra costly kit AFTERWARD, was very disappointing.

 Assembly Jun 02, 2012

Do your self a favor and get the valve assembly at the same time. Before you install the actual faucet start the assembly with the valve then install the valve and faucet together. Tighten it up and your good to go.

Love it, but buy the rough-in kit, kids! Apr 09, 2013
By J. LaCoss

A few years back we bought a copy of Moen T6125BN Kingsley Two-Handle High Arc Bathroom Faucet without Valve, Brushed Nickel at a local store to replace a leaky 18-year-old faucet. (No replacement parts available, Mr. Remodeling Contractor, thank you very much.)
We loved it so much that when our 20-year-old faucet started leaking - surprise! - I got one of these things from Amazon for the master bath. Rude shock: this wasn't what we bought a couple years ago. This kit only includes what you can see above the sink. The, uh, plumbing part isn't in the box. You MUST acquire a Moen 9000 M-PACT Widespread Lavatory Rough-In Valve with Drain Assembly to have the whole works. I can't imagine this faucet/spout set is compatible with anything but the Moen 9000 stuff.
The installations instructions are right out of Fahrenheit 451: no words. Well, there are a few, but... Anyway, there are a couple things not too well explained. First, the valves are initially supported from the top by snap-rings. Don't over-tighten the nuts underneath! I danged near busted the first one by reefing on the wrench. Second, the very beautiful spout bolts to a brass fitting below, slipping over a brass pipe equipped with a couple O-rings. Here's where the instructions become, well, just a little TOO terse: I think you should start the installation of the spout before you install the center brass fitting in the rough-in kit. Just a turn or two of the brass bolt that holds the spout down on the sink. The instructions don't say that because... (wait for it)... this kit and the rough-in kit are TWO SEPARATE PRODUCTS. Never mind that you need both to do the installation. Never mind that putting a cross-reference on both sets of instructions would clear up the mystery. SO, I thought I'd have to disassemble the rough-in work. (At this point I said some bad words.)
If you look CAREFULLY at the instructions, you might actually observe that the provided Allen wrench can be inserted in the hole for the drain-stop knob/shaft/whatever. (When I was doing the rough-in, I spent about 20-30 minutes observing the under-sink stuff, including the bottom end of the bolt. It has a hex socket in it, and I thought that assembly had to be done from underneath. I missed the Allen-wrench trick in the comics for the top-side assembly. Again, a cross-reference would have been really helpful.) So, a little of the provided lube for the O-rings, a few more bad words while getting the brass bolt to correctly start in the threads of the spout, and about 87 1/3-turns-to-tighten later, the spout was securely installed.
I'm a little unhappy with the plastic valve bodies, and the plastic hoses, in the rough-in kit. The bases of the faucets screw onto the plastic valve bodies, and that is what REALLY supports the valve from the top. I don't like plastic, particularly in plumbing. Hooking up the hoses is really fast, though! Uh, well, it is if you make sure that the in-feed tubes on the valves don't point directly at each other: you have to rotate the valve bodies so there is room to plug everything together. Trust me.
Other than all that, gee whiz, these sure are pretty faucets! I actually do like them. My wife is happy, so I'm happy.

You get what you pay for Feb 18, 2013
By Katy Maria Herbinger
It sounds pricey until its installed. You will need the rough in valves as well. The quality, fit and finish is awesome. This is not a Home Improvement Store faucet.
