One more observation, the 2 times mine have failed were usually after the system was flushed. I figure the flushing dislodged something preventing the check valve from seating. The first time (7 years old valve) really warn. The second failure there was really nothing wrong with the valve...

For the older NR-A series, the part number is 30002282e For the NPE-A series, the part number is 30008360A

I found instructions for the Hampton Faucet on AS site. Unless things changed from 20 years ago, for the life of me I cannot figure out why the handle base will not come off...

I have a 20-year-old American Faucet Bathroom faucet. I am trying to change the valve cartridge. The first obstacle was the handle was seized to I had to drill the screw out (I hope I can find a replacement). The second obstacle, for the life of me I cannot remove the faucet trim. Looking at...

Do you have a NPE or NR? On the NPE that check valve is much longer than the NR. It's weird that it took 8+ years before the first failure then I get another one 1+ year latter. There was was no debris in the old one, it just looked like the spring got weaker over time. Probably due to all...

BTW, if this is a NR-240A, the part number is 30002282e

There is a check value in the T connection on the outlet of the pump. When this fails this will introduce cold water into the hot water stream. Depending on your cold water temperature you will get luke warm water to something like you described, 20 degrees cooler. On my NR-240A I had 2 of...

That is an easy part to replace on a NR-240 (I have one and did this myself). Not sure how much you have to do on a NCB to replace it but you don't have to disconnect the gas lines. Of course, shut off gas and power while working on it. If you really don't want to call a plumber, I think as...

FYI, Moen responded to me in the HD forum and claims that the reason for this gap could be is that the pipe must be free of burrs, ridges, dents. I have neither. The spout will set flush against the escutcheon, but as you tighten it it will pull away, even if you try holding against the plate...

That is a really bad solder on that coupler. I would remove this and replace it with a sweat valve. From the photo, you seem to have room to do this.

You want washed, crushed, stone (about 1-2 inch). The larger stone creates more voids between the stones, thus more capacity. Pea gravel would not give you much capacity. Even though you are not too concerned with capacity since the stone will only surround your sump pit, I would still use...

I have the same issue. We are not alone. A couple of people on the HD sight complained about the same thing. I called Moen. The nice lady thinks that the 179101 is not the same as the official M3807, so she is sending me one free. She is wrong about this and the only difference between the...
