The Moen S6345BN is the brushed nickel variant of the Velocity 8.5-inch rainshower. It shares the S6345's full Immersion Technology platform — three times the spray force of a conventional rainhead across the wide face — while the LifeShine Brushed Nickel finish provides a warm, corrosion-resistant complement to matte or satin hardware. The two-function lever toggles between the broad rain coverage mode and a concentrated PowerShot rinse, making this a practical everyday showerhead that also delivers the spa-like overhead rain feel when you want it.
What shower arm does the S6345BN require?
The S6345BN uses a standard 1/2-inch IPS shower arm connection. Wrap the arm with PTFE thread tape before installing the showerhead to ensure a watertight seal.
How do you switch spray modes on the S6345BN?
A lever on the showerhead body rotates to switch between the wide Immersion rain mode and the concentrated PowerShot rinse. The mechanism is built into the head — no diverter or additional plumbing is needed.
Is the brushed nickel finish durable in a high-moisture environment?
Yes. Moen's LifeShine Brushed Nickel is a PVD-applied finish that resists tarnishing, corrosion, and peeling under normal shower conditions. It is covered under Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
How do you remove calcium buildup from the S6345BN?
Rub the rubber nozzles with a finger under running water to dislodge most mineral deposits. For stubborn buildup, soak the spray face in a bag of white vinegar for 30 to 60 minutes, then rinse. Avoid abrasive scouring pads on the brushed nickel surface.
Is the S6345BN the same as the S6320BN but larger?
Yes — the S6345BN is the 8.5-inch face diameter version; the S6320BN is 8 inches. Both share the same two-function Immersion Technology, 2.5 GPM flow rate, and 1/2-inch IPS connection. The S6345BN is the better choice if you want broader rain coverage in a larger shower enclosure.
