3.2. Identifying Your Moen Posi-Temp Valve

To confirm if you have a Moen Posi-Temp valve, observe the handle operation. Posi-Temp valves typically feature a handle that rotates only to control both water flow and temperature. If your existing handle pulls out for flow and rotates for temperature, it is likely not a Posi-Temp valve.
