What's Included in a McNabb Flo by Moen Installation
Professional setup takes the complexity out of smart water monitoring. We handle everything from pipe assessment to app configuration before we leave.

Device Installation
Physical installation on your main water line with secure connections, proper orientation, and confirmed 2.4GHz WiFi pairing. We test for leaks and verify full sensor function before moving on.
App Setup
Configure the Moen Smart Water App on your phone, connect any smart home integrations (Alexa, Google, Ring, Control4), and show you custom alert preferences.
Smart Investment
Flo by Moen Can Pay for Itself Through Insurance Savings
Many homeowners insurance providers offer premium discounts for certified smart water leak detection systems. The average water damage claim exceeds $11,000 — a properly installed and configured Flo system can prevent that cost entirely.

What is the Moen Flo Smart Water Shutoff?
The Moen Flo Smart Water Shutoff is a smart water monitoring device that is installed on your home’s main water line. It monitors water flow, pressure, and temperature, helping detect unusual water activity that may point to a leak. The system can send alerts through the Moen Smart Water app and can automatically shut off the water in certain emergency situations. Moen describes the product as a whole-home leak detection and shutoff device designed to help protect against hidden water leaks.
Can I install Moen Flo myself?
Moen Flo is installed directly into the home’s main water line, so professional installation is recommended. The plumber needs to choose the right location, confirm pipe sizing, make proper connections, preserve access to the manual shutoff valve, and test the system after installation. W.J. McNabb Plumbing provides professional Moen Flo installation in Pittsburgh, helping homeowners get the device installed correctly and ready to connect with the app.
Is Moen Flo worth it for Pittsburgh homes?
For many Pittsburgh homeowners, Moen Flo is worth considering because local homes can be vulnerable to frozen pipes, aging plumbing, basement water issues, and leaks that happen while no one is home. A smart shutoff system can be especially helpful for older homes, second homes, rental properties, finished basements, and homeowners who travel. W.J. McNabb Plumbing installs Moen Flo systems in Pittsburgh to help homeowners add an extra layer of protection against leak-related water damage.
Can Moen Flo help with frozen pipes?
Moen Flo can help detect unusual water activity and may help limit damage if a pipe bursts and water starts flowing unexpectedly. It does not prevent pipes from freezing by itself. Pittsburgh homeowners should still insulate vulnerable pipes, disconnect hoses, seal drafts, and maintain heat during freezing weather. Moen’s resources also include guidance around freezing pipes, which shows this is a common concern for homeowners using the system.
What size Moen Flo device do I need?
Moen Flo devices come in different sizes, and the right size depends on your home’s water line and plumbing setup. Moen’s technical guide lists specification sheets for 3/4-inch, 1-inch, and 1 1/4-inch systems. A plumber can inspect the main water line and choose the correct device size before installation.
Will Moen Flo work with smart home systems?
Moen Flo offers integrations with several smart home systems, including Ring, Google Home, Control4, NICE, and Alarm.com. Available integrations and features may vary, so homeowners should check current Moen compatibility before relying on a specific smart home setup.
Will Moen Flo detect every leak in my home?
Moen Flo is designed to monitor water moving through your plumbing system, but no device can guarantee that every leak or water event will be detected in every situation. For added protection, Moen recommends pairing the shutoff device with Smart Leak Detectors near high-risk areas like water heaters, washing machines, sinks, toilets, and basements. Moen notes that combining the shutoff with Smart Leak Detectors can provide stronger protection around fixture leaks.
Does Moen Flo shut off water automatically?
Yes, Moen Flo can automatically shut off the home’s water in certain emergency situations. It can also allow homeowners to turn the water on or off from the app. This can be especially helpful if you are away from home and receive an alert about unusual water use. The goal is to help reduce the chance of a small leak becoming major water damage.
When should I call W.J. McNabb Plumbing for Moen Flo installation?
Call W.J. McNabb Plumbing if you want whole-home leak monitoring, automatic water shutoff protection, or a smarter way to protect your home from water damage. Moen Flo can be a good fit if you have an older Pittsburgh home, finished basement, history of leaks, rental property, vacation home, or want alerts when you are away. W.J. McNabb Plumbing installs Moen Flo systems in Pittsburgh and can help determine the right setup for your home.
