    Loose single faucet handle
    I have a Moen Kitchen faucet that is about 4 years old. Recently, I've noticed when turning on the water by pulling up on the single handle the whole long necked spout lifts and wiggles tremendously. Someone told me to pop out the logo on the faucet and tighten with an allen wrench but that did not help at all. Any cheap, easy, fast way of fixing?

    Hey Mike,
    There's a retaining nut, (see image) that secures the spout. Simply sung it up. Good luck, Tom
