Moen 461260 Posi-temp Lever Handle

Product Description

The MOEN 461260 is a replacement lever handle designed for Moen Posi-Temp shower and tub valve systems. Posi-Temp valves are pressure-balancing single-handle units widely installed in residential bathrooms to maintain consistent water temperature and meet code requirements for scald protection. This handle mounts directly onto the Posi-Temp valve stem and provides the user-facing control for adjusting water flow and temperature. At 0.5 pounds, it is a lightweight trim component typically installed by a licensed plumber or experienced service technician as part of a trim replacement or valve repair.

The 461260 lever handle is suited for residential bathroom applications where the existing Posi-Temp valve body remains in service but the trim requires replacement due to wear, damage, or finish updates. It is a direct OEM-style replacement for Moen Posi-Temp installations. The supplier data references part number 14732, which may indicate a superseded or related Moen part number associated with this handle assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply to the valve before removing the existing handle or trim components. Handle attachment typically involves a set screw or retaining clip on the valve stem — inspect the existing hardware and have appropriate hex keys or screwdrivers on hand. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines, for any trim or valve service work.
