  1. Most people think the handle is made of chrome or aluminum.  The fact is that these products are made of plastic and only have a chrome finish.  See if you can find a heavier duty handle.


  2. it's possible that the cartridge has become stiff over time which causes excessive pressure on the k**b.

    as stated here, call Moen and tell them.  they may send you a knew k**b AND cartridge.

  3. Moen makes pretty solid stuff.

    What are you doing wrong?

  4. I would go to customer support on their web site and explain

    to them what is happening. Tell them how many times you

    have replaced it and the cost. They are a pretty good company and I am sure that they want to keep your business,

    so they might even send you a free part if you word your

    problem just right, and may give you a tip or two on what could be causing the problem.

    Lots of luck.

  5. Shouldn't break that easily...are you sure there's not another problem causing too much strain on the handle?

  6. I called them on their 800 number and they sent me a new part free. 1-800-BUY-MOEN
