Moen 1222 Single-Handle Posi-Temp Replacement Cartridge

How about a allen wrench?

The plastic piece given with the kit to help remove the cartridge was virtually useless unless your cartridge is like still loose in the barrel and not corroded as most likely are. If you have the metal handle with the allen set screw like mine, you might want to scrounge up a 7/64" wrench or you'll never get past the first step. There is no wrench as part of the repair kit.Read full review

Genuine Moen

Tried another brand to save a few bucks and it leaked. I returned it after I got this one. Ended up doing the job twice.

Don't delay fixing this plumbing problem or else!

My experience with the Moen cartridge for single-handle showers is that it breaks apart inside the plumbing. Extraction is difficult. For me this meant drilling it out piecemeal using titanium drill bits. This is after I tried to extract it using the special tool. I had to be careful not to damage the pipes. If you need to drill, be sure you are in a positive frame of mind, that is, not angry or impatient. The other recommendation is to replace this cartridge as soon as you suspect a problem, such as any drip that won't shut off. I may have let the problem develop by ignoring the drip for some time (months?). Also, I twisted the valve hard and may have damaged it further when it froze up in the surrounding pipe. So I would recommend not using any force turning the shower faucet when you first hear complaints from your daughter or whomever happens to use the shower regularly.Read full review

Fits Like a Glove

Perfect replacement part at a crazy cheap price. Verified to be Moen brand and not some knockoff.

Cartridge did not come in a sealed package and it leaked when installed.

It stated that the item was new and in a sealed package however when i received it the packaging was opened. After i installed the cartridge and turned on the water it was leaking a drop every few seconds, i tried re-installing it several times but i could not get rid of the leak. Because my old cartridge had to be drilled out to removed i was left with no other option except to go out and purchase one at Home Depot and it worked perfectly without any leaks.Read full review

Reliable cartridge

These posi-temp cartridges are originals and Moen has been using them for years. They are sturdy and if your water heater isn't set too hot and the water quality is not too hard, then the Moen posi-temp cartridge can last more than 10 years.Read full review

OEM Part fixes any noise or leak issues you may have.

I live in Florida where lime is present in the water, my old valve was creating a noise at certain pressure levels most likely due to lime build up. New valve cured it all. If you are a do it yourselfer, easily removed and replaced.Read full review

Genuine MOEN part makes the difference

The right part, well made and worked perfectly. I tried a non-MOEN replacement part and it just didn’t work and leaked day one. Returned that one and got the genuine part and it was easy to install and works flawlessly.Read full review
