                Why yes it does, discovered after fruitlessly shopped a local hardware store. There is a pill of grease included in the package of my moen type 1222 cartridge replacement.

                    This Moen PosiTemp cartridge operates as smooth as glass. The original was 10 years old and it could barely be rotated. When removing it for replacement, it broke off in the valve body. Once out and replaced with the new one from Home Depot, it is like new.

                    I originally purchased the knockoff version, it leaked after 30min, I took it back and bought the original Moen brand which worked great.

                    POOR QUALITY CARTRIDGE
                    CRAP ! We reno'd the bathroom in 2023 , install a new Moen Single Action Faucet assembly and the cartridge started leaking last week, 2/10/2026. Had to replace it and needed to purchase a 'cartridge puller' because i couldn't pull it out of the casing. One of the flat rubber seal torn off due to pulling it out (reason it wouldn't come out easily) had split. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE : cartridge no 1222

                      Cartridge
                      installed but confusing about groves being at bottom for shutoff. I use the internal gear and black thing to set it at off after finding location with water on, but shutting g water off again then I knew it was In right position to put handle on. It worked well and very easy to turn hs handle and no leaks what so ever . Hopefully it will last for several years because price tag Is kinda high.

                        Faucet has incorrect off setting and leaks
                        Had a master plumber replace my 1222 and in the off position, the faucet still trickles...you have to manually find the off and this is in a guest bathroom, so I may have someone in there and not know to check it and have a faucet leak for who knows how long!

                          One of the worst products I’ve have ever purchased
                          Awful quality… I’ve replaced 3 so far and this one is leaking. The other two would not provide hot or cold temperature consistently. The water pressure is also less than it was. I’m going to have to purchase a 4th one in 2 months and hope this one works. The valve in the last one was upside down. The notch had to be at the bottom in order for the handle to be in the off position. This has been a miserable experience. Whomever is in charge of quality control at moen for these valves should be let go.

                            Perfect cartridge replacement for an older Moen Posi-Temp style valve that had seized and would no longer work. My only issue is that it doesn't come with the clip to secure it in the valve body like the after market versions do. There is a good chance the original clip will still be in good shape, or you won't loose the old one during the replacement but for a few extra cents why not just supply an extra.

                            Worked to stop a dripping shower/tub faucet
                            Simple replacement part for Moen faucet. Kinda expensive for what it is. New house, first valve lasted 4 years. Mine went out and in fairly easy with a slight wiggle left to right turning motion as I pulled and pushed. Be sure to wipe/clean inside valve body once you get the old cartridge out to remove any mineral buildup or gunk to achieve best water tight seal. And use the included oil to lubricate the cartridge and valve body. I recommend getting the cartridge puller to simplify removal.
