        Hello Dave and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The correct cartridge will depend on the valve body - the Moen 1225 Single-Handle 8.5 in. D Replacement Cartridge is used with push/pull style handles; if your handle just rotates you will need cartridge 1222. Should you have additional questions, please feel free to call us at 800-289-6636. We are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 7:00 pm (EST).

          Why is the diameter 8.5 inch and the Moen 1225 knockoffs measure at 4.125 D? Will this fit my single handle kitchen faucet? I don't understand the large difference in diameters.

              Why is there a image reading "limited lifetime warranty" included with the pictures, but under the Highlights it says "Limited 1-year warranty"? If only a limited one-year warranty I might as well go with one of the competitors to save $8 with 1-yr.

                  Should have done it years ago. 1225 Moen Cartridge
                  If I'd known how easy it would be to change this cartridge I would have done it years ago. My 1991 faucet/shower had been dripping for 15 years. I took a lot of force to push/pull the handle. I did a lot of research on HD reviews and just incase I called Moen as well. They confirmed I needed the 1225 replacement cartridge for my old cartridge. Moen was very helpful and even sent me a link to detailed instructions on removing and replacing the cartridge. The change out only took about 15 minutes.

                    Easy and fast DIY chore
                    Easy to install. Be certain to test Hot/Cold as this is easily reversed. Application of recommended grease makes operation smooth and nearly effortless. Moen will provide free replacement if you can wait.

                    It fixed the leak
                    I have done a lot of household plumbing over the years but I have never had to fix a leaky bathtub faucet until now. So it took some research as to how to fix it and what to replace. If you know that you have the Moen brand but are not sure what cartridge number you need, I found this website of Moen's that was very helpful. https://solutions.moen.com/Article_Library/Faucet_Cartridges%3A_Shower. I was not able to pull the old cartridge out with some pliers. I was afraid to get too rough with it and break some other parts so I bought one of those cartridge removal tools. Home Depot did not stock the Moen brand one so I bought the Danco brand and it worked fine to remove the old cartridge. Then I saw a recommendation to use an old toothbrush to clean the area out before putting the new cartridge in so I did that. Pushing the new cartridge in was not a problem. The leak is gone. I installed it several weeks ago.

                      I replace 4-5 of these a year and would stick to Moen vs aftermarket. Your gas and time to go back isn't worth it. I love replacing these over the 1222s(bigger, newer, with white plastic) because those tend to get stuck. These 1225 rarely ever get stuck. One advice is to add more plumber's silicone grease to the rubber. Push the stem in and out and expose more rubber and add grease to it. Often times they come a little too dry. Also, make sure the valve is clean before you insert this in. Check, flush, and do whatever you have to do. It only takes one hard piece of metal or plastic inside it to cut the rubber O rings.

                      Easy Fix For Leaks
                      Over the past 30 years, I’ve retrofitted many faucets with Moen and choose them for new construction. The faucets are durable and are easy to service. I bought a couple of 1225 cartridges to fix my occasionally leaking showers that use the 3520 Moentrol valve. Replacement went smoothly except the removal tool had a plastic shoulder that kept it from seating onto the 3520 valve body. Using a utility knife, I modified the tool and the removal/reinstall went quickly after that. Although not absolutely necessary, I apply some silicone valve grease to the cartridge before installing it. Makes for smoother installation and operation.
