I have a MOEN single handle tub/shower faucet model 82000/2300. No matter how tight I try to get the set screw for the handle, within a couple of weeks it starts to loosen. I have had this problem since it was installed about 6 yrs ago. Is there anything I can do to keep it from working loose so soon? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

hello everyone -

just a follow-up to the "loose handle" situation.

moen sent me a box of parts - 95606

it included a new handle, hub and set screw -- the items had been re-designed.

it went on w/o a problem, we'll see how eveything works.

i only wish we had bought all moen fixture when we built our house!

there are certain types of lock washers you can buy and slide on the screw for the faucet. that will eliminate the problem of the faucet coming loose

hello jcman2001 -

in reference to your "lock washers" post - i dont think this particular problem could be solved with a lock washer - moen redesigned the hub, set screw and handle because the hole in the hub would enlarge and prevent a secure connection.
