Can the faucet base be turned 180 degrees to put the handle on the left side?

Now, the on/off handle pulls forward for cold, back for hot. If it were turned to the other side, the handle would hit the wall.

Yes it can. Our last one was installed with handle on the left & it worked very well that way. The lever direction for cold and hot will be different from standard installation -- IOW, the lever is pushed away from you for cold, toward you for hot, but we never found that to be a problem.Having had good luck with turning this model faucet before, I recently had a new one installed with the handle facing forward. Since it's set between two sinks & the downspout is always facing into the left sink or the right one, this configuration has worked well for us too.

The controls can be mounted on the left, but then the Hot is towards the user as opposed to the more conventional away. This is a very nice faucet, very sturdy construction and a pleasure to use. The only caveat is one that has been criticised by others is that the spray button does not stay engaged, but has to be held. Just a small thing really.

Not very easily. You would have to do some cutting and welding. Check with the company to see if they sell the left side.

Sorry but I do not see a way to mount it on the left without reversing it so that the curved closed end faces the user. When mounted on the right and with closed end away from user, the curve makes a comfortable hand hold to help stand up. That benefit would be lost if mounted in reverse. My suggestion is to contact Moen. They are an outstandingly responsive company and based in Ohio.

Interesting question......although amazon.com states it can be mounted both right and left handed and shows examples, there are no space limitations in those illustrations and with the left hand install I suspect in order to change the temperature that you are moving the handle away from you, instead of towards you with a right hand mount installation. Most important Moen states that the unit can only be right hand mounted, so I would suspect that the answer to your question is no. Why can't you tolerate a right hand mount? Very luxurious tap!

I'm sorry, but I had to return this faucet because it was too big for our purposes. I seem to recall that it rotated all the way around, but I could be wrong.

There is definately a RIGHT or LEFT to these units. They will however work in an upside down fashion, although the curve on the handle tip will point upward

Yes, according to their product description a tool is needed to change the handle direction. I would contact the manufacturer for more information about this.

This is the reverse of standard usability and it is a design flaw in this product, in my opinion, so for others reading this, take it into consideration. I got used to it and no longer think about it. Mine was installed by a plumber, and he said nothing about changing it to standard direction-turning, so I assumed it wasn't an option.

The handle goes both to the right (for the water stream volume) and up & down (temperature). I think the assembly is 1 piece, although if you installed it sideways, the hose might turn. I don't think it would make sense, though. The upper part of the faucet pulls out, so the handle seems like it might interfere if it were centered.

The faucet has a 360 spin. I suppose you could install it on the left but then everything would be reversed...for example the hot would be in the forward position and cold would be in the back position.

I installed the faucet, and have it on the right side. I see no reason why you could not put the handle in front if that is your preference. Should not be a problem.

The handle can only be on the right side. The handle does allow for flow rate and temperature control

I'm sure the handle can be put on the other side. That would work if you can make the adjustment of having it on the left side.

Funny question, as in I never noticed this, but yes, the model I have, ordered from Amazon, has the handle on my right (looking at the faucet straight-on). The other picture provided by Amazon, of the faucet set in a sink next to the regular faucet, is how mine appears. -- of course, now I see, from another respondent, that the handle can be manipulated to either side!

You need a little less than two inches clearance from the back edge of the faucet. Yes, you can turn the faucet head from side to side.

First, I love, love my faucet! Second, I just checked for you. I can swivel the faucet neck most of the way around, well, as far as it is possible before it hits the wall! It appears they thought of a "lefty" situation! Looks like you will not have a problem! Wet sleeves are no fun!

Yes the crank handle can be moved from the right to the left side. Directions on how to move the assembly are included in the assembly instructions.
