Moen Gibson Matte Black Pressure Balancing Eco-Performance Showerhead, Shower Handle, and Tub Spout, Posi-Temp Valve Required, T2903EPBL

I ordered it to save a trip to the store. Installed it about 6 months ago and it works great. Easy to install and no regrets.

An affordable and simple upgrade. Looks good and does the job.

I like Moen for their ease of installation. Note that you need a shower/tub valve already - this is the trim kit only. Make sure you install the tub spout properly - it needs to be a copper pipe so as not to create back pressure that causes stacking. All components installed easily and the system looks good.

This was surprisingly easy to install, after a terrible experience installing a Moen faucet on my vanity. The trim kit looks great, the valve/handle work well and feel high quality. (I'm not using the shower head, I got a delta one with a rain head and a detachable wand) The tub spout is kind of a disaster though; when using the spout and not the shower head, the water is spraying all over the place. It's loud and it gets water everywhere. It's like the bathroom faucet when you take the aerator out. Good for the price, but I expected Moen products to work perfectly.

I recently replaced my 1222 shower cartridge and realized I can easily update the look of my restrooms without changing my shower valves that were installed 20+ years ago. I actually love that Moen stuck with the same guts, giving us that ability to update the trim even after so many years! If you live in California, you know the struggle is real finding a good high pressure shower head as we are restricted to 1.8GPM because of CA Title 20 regulations. I wasn’t planning on using the included shower head for that reason but since it came with the set anyways, I thought I would try to remove the red flow restrictor. I got it out and it makes the shower head 100x better to the point that I ended up using it! It’s in there good but I just drove a screw into it so I have something for my pliers to grab onto, and yanked it right out. I also wasn’t crazy about the tub spout from prior experience. My friend has a new build and these were installed by the builder. Not even a year later, all three restrooms had issues with the tub spouts. My old spout was threaded and it would be too much work anyways to get these to work so I picked up a different one I knew was reliable and happy to have that peace of mind. Overall, happy with the product and the finish. They have a good weight to them and feel like good quality. I accidentally dropped one of the shower handles during the install. It fell about 4 ft and bounced around my tiled shower. I thought the finish was for sure marred but was pleasantly surprised it had absolutely no damage.

I liked the price of this product compared to all other black matte tub and shower combo kits. For those that are having trouble with the paint flaking off, you should not be using any wrench on the finished surface. Specifically for the shower arm, you should put it on as tight as you can with your hands, then take a screw driver and place in inside the shower arm and use that as leverage to tighten it into position. For the shower head, you can put it on hand tight, then place plumbers tape or a cloth on the grips of your wrench and tighten just past hand-tight. As long as you use plumbers tape on your pipe threads you should not have any leaks. The shower head flow is weak compared to me previous shower head, but it’s adequate. I can imagine if you already have poor flow, it would be abysmal. The tub spout has a somewhat non-uniform pour but is sufficient. The shower valve was the trickiest part for me, but I finally figured it out. I just used the black sleeve to cover the old sleeve and did not use the other white plastic parts. If you have an older shower valve like me, the mounting holes for the trim are at 5 and 7 o’clock. This piece of trim has the holes at 3 and 7 o’clock. In order to fully secure the trim piece it is necessary to order the Moen 145058 adapter kit or change out your valve. I don’t want to change out my valve so I paid about $15 for an adapter kit. The trim piece is on with one screw until the adapter piece comes in the mail. Also, don’t forget to buy the trim pieces to cover for the drain cover and overflow faceplate. Hope this helps.

Great modern look

Showerhead and handle are great! Tub spout leaks and it's functionality isn't great. Get the set that doesn't include the spout and order a different spout in my opinion. Easy to install, smooth turning handle, looks great!

Easy install and looks fantastic. Matched with my bathroom theme.

High quality trim kit, the shower head was a little smaller then expected but is really solid. Fit our posi temp valve

Love the look. Good value.

It feels cheap , shower pipe did not want to seal properly .

Great for the price of it. Love the colour in my bathroom with the white and grey tiles. The faucet is kinda sticky to turn hope it runs smoother with wear. Tub spout didn’t fit but that’s my fault for not looking properly at the type of spout.
