      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello Leonie and thank you for your interest in the Moen 1222 Posi-Temp Pressure 0.9375 in. D Balanced Shower Cartridge. If your Moen Posi-Temp tub/shower has a lever handle secured with a setscrew, it requires a 7/64” allen/hex wrench to remove the handle set screw. If the head of the screw has been “rounded out” or is no longer hex shaped, you can use a T15 Torx screwdriver to remove the set screw. If you have any additional questions, Moen product specialists can be reached at 1-800-289-6636 and are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm Eastern Time.

          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.

            It was pretty good and easy to install. The only issue is the the product guides doesn’t say for for what other serial numbers it works. It took me a lot of time to figure that out.

            Easy to replace and works much better now
            I have this Moen shower for over twelve years and for the last few months the water was either hot or cold and not much in between so I got the cartridge and changed it and now the shower works as when I first got it installed. The tool that is included did not work much but I just pushed the cartridge, pulled it slowly and it came out without any problems. My shower was not leaking I just wanted to control the temp as when it was new. this worked.

                Disappointing Quality
                I am having a very similar experience to other reviewers. I went to visit family and when I got home (on a Saturday night) I got in the shower and the on/off handle spun a bit funny and the water was not "warm" despite it being in the same spot where it normally is a comfortable temperature. Trying not to make much of it because of the time, I made it a quick shower, also since cool water in the winter in Delaware is no fun and when I went to shut off the water, the handle just spun and spun and the water kept running. You could feel that something inside was not gripping properly, and as it spun not even the pressure was reduced, it was flowing as fast as it had been during the shower. Of course it is now 3:31 AM when I have managed to remove the cartridge and I had to shut down the water valve for the whole house. In a home with children, that is no fun decision. After taking out the part, I see that although the stem that attaches to the handle is spinning, the metal portion inside with the holes for hot and cold water flow is not moving at all. To make matters worse the part number on the cartridge is 158084 and I cannot find that part number anywhere on this website. A long and tedious online search led me to the new part number which is 1222 (like I said, no thanks to the Moen website). Now I am without water, I cannot wait till Monday for Moen to honor the warranty so in a few hours I am heading to any of the major box stores and hope to find it so that we can have running water again, and it will be an out of pocket expense, aside from the hassle of something that isn't even 4 years old breaking. If there is any saving grace, is that unlike many of the other people I did not have to get a special tool to remove it, because it was installed only a few years ago when the home was built. Certainly not the quality I have come to expect from Moen.

                  I purchased this authentic Moen replacement part Feb. 2021 and it leaked immediately on installation worse than the old cartridge I was replacing. I would have just put the old cartridge back in, however, it was cracked during removal. I reached out to Moen via their customer service website and I was extremely pleased that they sent a new replacement right away. It is now only 4 months later and the new replacement is not just leaking but constantly running and will fill my tub in less than 12 hours. That's a lot of EXPENSIVE water when you live in drought plagued SoCal. I have reached out, once again to Moen and await their response. I will update this post from the 1 star I currently have given if I get another replacement. I hope the replacement lasts longer this time because at $50 dollars for each cartridge with only a 1 year warranty it is definitely not high quality or a good value. If I have to purchase another cartridge I will buy the generic part for less. It's not worth it to buy "genuine" Moen replacements if they don't work! At this point I cannot recommend this part.

                  Thank you Aj so much for the feedback, you posted on the Home Depot website. Moen takes consumer comments very seriously and we are delighted to have the opportunity to assist you. Unfortunately, cartridges do not have a life expectancy as a number of factors can cause them to fail including quality of water, debris passing into it, and amount of use. I would recommend ensuring that the valve is cleaned and flushed prior to installing the new cartridge, which should help prevent them from failing so quickly. For warranty assistance, please contact Moen directly at 800-289-6636. Our current business hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 am – 5:30 pm (Eastern Time). Moen

                    Read this! Super poor quality.
                    My house was built new and is now 8 years old. I purposefully avoided "builder grade" fixtures. Only two of them were Moen in the whole house. BOTH have failed within 8 years. The first one after 4 years and the second at the 8 year mark. First one, I could not turn off the water (Posi-Temp 1222). When I went to another plumbing supply house with the old failed part in hand, I was told that this part is used in builder grade, track home quality fixtures - awesome.... Here is the very serious part of my story - the second cartridge failure (the other Moen faucet I purchased - same model as first one) failed in such a way that it leaked both outside the shower wall and INSIDE the wall from the handle stem ruining my Kitchen ceiling below. When all is said and done, the failure of these parts will cost me a few thousand dollars. What happened to American made pride (Manufactured in the US with imported parts" - translation: Likely means assembled in the US with foreign parts). For what I paid for these fixtures, they should come with a Brass cartridge, not this piece of garbage plastic thing. I am a handy guy with a lot of life experience and work in the Manufacturing world and it is my opinion that this component is a shameful joke. I don't mind paying more for quality, but I seem to have been deprived of that option here. OK - Moen Customer Support, now you can reply with your canned Copy & Paste response: "Moen cartridges do not have an estimated life expectancy and are subject to standard maintenance based on varying factors such as system pressure and regional water conditions". Are you kidding me - "Moen cartridges do not have an estimated life expectancy" - who would say such a thing. Does Moen realize that is paramount to saying "it could last a day or 364 days". Additionally, I am pretty suspicious of all the "positive reviews" here. I am a pretty busy person, like most people are. Who has the time to write all these positive reviews. I only write them when in Shepard mode and feel I have to warn the public. Lastly, I am used to these parts lasting 20 years or more - not, "we can't tell you how long it may last".

                      Perfect fit for MOEN single handle hot cold shower faucet
                      At first, It was almost impossible to pull the old cartridge out. I tried the plastic puller that came with the new cartridge, it was very flimsy and the thing just froze in there. Luckily, I was prepared, did my research and went ahead and bought the DANCO Cartridge Puller for MOEN. I have seen and watch reviews and they used this tool to pull stucked cartridge. After about 5 mins of turning left to right and pull out motion (repeatedly), I was able to pull it out, The black rubber around the old cartridge disintegrated in pieces. It looked like it clanged and bonded with the metal insert inside. I cleaned it off and used shop vac to take out small debris and particles around it. Once I cleaned it off, put it back the way I took it out just reverse process. I am not a handyman savvy type of guy, I work in the financial field. I managed to do this on my own and saved me $300 worth of plumbing service. The part cost me $49.00 and it came with the grease. I highly suggest you use that grease and lube on that sucker so when next time you need to replace it, it will be a little easier. Another helpful trick is that I was taking pictures step by step on how it looked like taking off the part so I know how to put it back. Your welcome!!!
