Danco Moen Tub and Shower Trim Kit - Replace Moentrol/Posi-Temp

In this review the Danco shower trim kit is evaluated as a practical, budget-friendly replacement option for homes with Moentrol or Posi-Temp valve bodies. It is best for homeowners who need a straightforward trim refresh without replacing the valve, and its biggest selling point is the included adapters that allow it to fit a range of Moen cartridge styles. The kit offers two handle styles and simple, DIY-friendly installation guidance, making it a sensible choice for a quick cosmetic and functional upgrade.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits Moentrol 220, 240, 2600 and 2700 series as well as Posi-Temp 2300 series, so it replaces many common Moen trim kits without changing the valve.
• Included adapters: Adapters are provided to convert both Posi-Temp pressure balancing and Moentrol tub and shower faucets, reducing the need for specialty parts.
• Two handle options: The kit includes a clear acrylic handle and an oil rubbed bronze metal handle, giving homeowners a choice of appearance during install.
• Durable mix of materials: Made from plastic, acrylic and stainless steel components to resist rust and provide reliable performance in a wet environment.
• BILT installation instructions: Downloadable 3D interactive instructions guide the install step-by-step with voice and text so users can complete the job confidently.
• Simple DIY install: Designed to be installed with common household tools, making it practical for homeowners comfortable with basic plumbing tasks.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for homeowners and DIYers who have an existing Moen Moentrol or Posi-Temp valve and want to replace worn or outdated trim without opening the wall or replacing the valve body. It suits anyone who values an easy install, a choice between a clear acrylic or oil rubbed bronze handle, and adapters that simplify fitment.

It is not the best option for those seeking a premium metal trim across every component, or for installs where the wall opening is less than 3-1/2 in deep at the offset area; those users should consider higher-end, full-metal trim kits or professional modification of the wall opening.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy compatibility with multiple Moen cartridge series thanks to included adapters.
• Choice of handle styles lets you match bathroom decor without buying extra parts.
• BILT 3D instructions and DIY-friendly design make installation straightforward for competent homeowners.
• Durable stainless steel and rust-resistant plastic components where it matters most.

Cons

• Some customers report the plastic parts and finish feel less premium than all-metal kits.
• Requires a minimum 3-1/2 in wall opening depth for the offset trim to sit flush, which may complicate some installs.

Specifications
