MoenGibson Chrome Posi-Temp Pressure-Balancing Modern Shower Handle Only Trim, Valve Required, T2901BN

We have had this for awhile now. It is just as nice looking now as when we bought it. Great quality, works well, easy to use. No leaks. It fit perfectly.

Nice chrome plating. Handle is very heavy. Looks great.

We recently moved back into our house that we have rented out for the last 15 years. The shower has had this leak from the handle that is pure hot water. I got tired of burning myself so I figure I would replace the old Shower handle. Behind this is the cartridge. The cartridge is usually the issue with a leak or inconsistent temperature. I was prepared for this and bought a new cartridge and the remover tool. I had no idea what I was getting into. I think the shower cartridge was the original one that came with the house. It was so corroded and stuck, it took me hours to chisel the pieces out. Once that part was done the install was easy and the new faucet looks amazing and it was a great price.Make sure you know what type of valve you have behind the wall. Not all The valve that this ties into is specific to the brand. Not all handles will work with all valves. Also, make sure to change that cartridge before it becomes a real problem.

Just like their other products I’ve used, the finish and quality is nice. Install was quick and easy. Nice look and feel. Got it for a great deal on Amazon too. Only gripe is the size of the set screw for the handle. It’s an allen screw, which is fine, but the size is 7/64 or something. I have all of these allen wrench sets, allen screw bits for my drill, etc, but I don’t have that size. Seems like I have every standard and metric size around that size, but not the one that actually fits. How about just including the wrench Delta? Or use a size that’s common to most allen wrench sets? My one gripe. Hope they listen.

I needed to upgrade one of my cheapy plastic Moen positemp handles because it literally broke from use twice in a span of 6 months. I understand Moen is supposed to provide a lifetime-warranty with their products, but I was sick and tired of their trash plastic handle. Unfortunately, once you are in the ecosystem for one of these manufacturers, moving onto a new handle is not an easy nor economic proposition. So even though I wanted to leave Moen, I ended up giving the metal positemp handle a shot. I'm glad I did.The build quality is night-and-day. Everything from the face plate to the entire handle itself is made from metal. Most importantly, the physics of the device is totally different from the plastic knob as the long handle provides for a longer lever arm and less force required to maintain torque (T = F * d). End result is that there is less strain on you and less strain on the device, so less chance of device failure (Yes, that includes the internal $80 positemp valve). It's as simple as that.Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised and ended up buying three more to replace all the shower/tub handles in the house. If you have one of those absolute trash plastic Moen handles, don't hesitate. I know other reviewers have complained about the handle being some distance from the face plate and being able to see the screw heads, but this was not a big deal for me. Purely personal preference and I'm sure they'd have a different perspective if they were upgrading from the plastic trash. Also, give Amazon warehouse a shot. I had good luck with two of my handles and although the packaging was haphazard, the devices were fantastic.

This item arrived packaged very well and in perfect condition. The cost is a little more than I would've liked but it was the only thing with its finish in this price range that looked like I wanted.Installation went off without a hitch. Pay attention to the order you take things off in and, as long as you have bought the right type of handle setup for your shower, installation is the exact same. Once installed and tightened down it is a sturdy fixture and there is a gasket on the inside to help prevent water from seeping behind it any into your walls.The handle itself is very smooth to operate as does not wiggle at all once the set screw is tightened. I recommend you replace the valve underneath if you're replacing an old worn out unit or if you're having problems (advance warning, that job is usually an absolute pain with the tool, impossible without) at the same time. Do that, and it is butter smooth to open and close and delivers good, consistent water.We bought this with its matching shower head and are very pleased.

Finally upgrading my old handle as it was plastic and kept breaking every 2 years. Went and ordered this. I like the fit and finish and the install was very easy. Took me about 10 minutes hardest part was installing the set screw for the handle. Still easy just tedious. Make sure you have a Philips head screw driver and imperial Allen set to install as they don’t include any tools. My house is from 2006 so as you can see in the first photo it already had the right adapter on. So all I had to do was remove the old one and fit this one. Would buy again worth the price. Really updates the bathroom look and it is much stronger and should last way longer.

Looks very sheek and it turns very smoothly
