Hello,
I've just installed a single lever Moen shower control...the problem is that the control actually "sucks' back into the assembly resulting in no or little water flow when the control is set to midway between hot and cold. Any insight on this one? TIA

if it were me, and i just bought it, i'd take it back.

AJ,
I just finished installing some Moen shower faucets myself. One of them was like yours, just a trickle of water. I fixed the problem by disassembling the valve, and cleaning out the little pressure balance piston inside. Probably just clogged with plumbing debris. Once it was cleaned and reassembled, it worked fine.
Since this is described in the installation instructions, I assume it's a fairly common problem.
Oh, one other possible cause, the handle could be on upside down.

I would suspect that as well. Moen's instructions describe flushing out the water line with the cartridge removed before using it for the first time in order to avoid this.
