MOEN 1200 Single Handle Replacement Cartridge, Brass Review

I had to replace 2 valves that were 30 years old and although they didn't leak you almost needed a wrench to use them.I opted for the 1225.I know it's plastic but I saw several people say that it was easier to use (pull-push-turn) and didn't bind up.I suppose it's dealers choice.

I put the first one in and it leaked.So I installed the second one in the same tub faucet no problem.I purchased a third one from the local hardware and tried in the second bathroom.It also leaked. I reseated it and turned the water on and before I put the clip on I adjusted it.That worked like a champ.I had trouble getting both clips on and off.It would be nice to have a new clip in the package.I recommend turning on the water and making all your adjustments (hot-cold-flow rate) before you put the clip back in.I also hate to say this but I recommend getting the Moen puller.I don't know if I could have removed the valves without it. The instructions on it were poor.What you are bacically doing with it is screwing the threaded piece in the knob screw hole and then using a pair of channel locks to tighten the outer piece against the valve opening to brute force it out.Kind of like a bering puller.

In most cases I'd recommend replacing the faucet (the cost of the tool and valve comes close to the cost of a new foucet) but these were in the shower and soldered in behind a tiled wall. I plan on remodeling the bathroom in a couple of years but didn't want to fight with them for another 2 years.MOEN 1225 Replacement Faucet Single Control Cartridge
