[@becausestuffbreaks]

Indeed! Thanks for watching!

[@Bluegrassriver8]

I tried this. The nut on top was very loose. This worked it stopped the leak. I'm glad I didn't have to replace the cartridge. For the nut to come loose so often is a Moen design flaw. I appreciate your time in making the video!

[@becausestuffbreaks]

[@lordduckgaming7944]

Your video was super helpful !!! I live in an older home so order to shut the water off I have to go down in my basement and turn the faucets off on my main lines. Once I found them I knew I was in business and being a trades person my self ( 1st block millwright "industrial mechanic" my tools were already nect to me rareing to go lol. It took a couple of goes to fish the set screw at the back of the faucet head and another few seconds to gwt the clips to release by the nut at the top of the cartridge. Snapped it back together then let the water run for a few mins after I turned it back on and then double checked the base of the faucet, I recommend at about the 4 - 6 month mark to keep an eye on it and readjust the nut ( if you can )

[@becausestuffbreaks]

Thanks for the video. I thought it may be the cartridge, although I don't know if I would have thought about tightening from the top cartridge but. I had a leak about a year ago, that was bottom connection. I knew this was the upper part of the faucet.

No clue, but you can ask on video that I referred to in the comments where it shows how to replace the cartridge.

[@lynnmoulton8949]

We had to do this a while ago (I'm thinking it was in Fall 2020) and it's happening again now. We'll be keeping a close eye on it but we're not happy that this could turn into a regular thing!

[@becausestuffbreaks]

That sucks. Hope it's not a constant cycle.

[@lynnmoulton8949]

@@becausestuffbreaks Do you think putting plumber's tape on it would help?
