Posi-Temp Pressure Balanced Shower Cartridge

A:  Hello Tracy and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The Moen Posi-Temp Pressure Balanced Cartridge may not be seating well in the valve if the tub spout is still dripping water after the cartridge has been replaced. We would recommend to remove the cartridge, clean and then flush the valve body. Then, you will reinsert the cartridge. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call us at 800-289-6636. Our current business hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 7:00 pm (Eastern Time).

A:  I used this for the single valve connection on the shower both hot and cold.

A:  I have not tried it that way, but it should work with just the cold-water supply.

A:  As the MOEN answer, I'lla dd this, This valve is used in a shower with a single handle that goes from cold to hot. Its not designed for a single cold or water. If you have a moen shower valve that is split, you need a different part I think. (If MOEN)

A:  Hello Leon and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The Moen Posi-Temp Pressure Balanced Shower Cartridge was designed for installation into a Moen Posi-Temp tub/shower rough-in valve. The Moen Posi-Temp tub/shower rough-in valve has a pressure balancing mechanism that responds to changes in hot/cold water pressure coming into the valve. Water must be plumbed/turned on to both inlets before the Moen Posi-Temp tub/shower rough-in valve will allow water to flow out of the valve. The Moen Posi-Temp tub/shower rough-in valve is not a thermostatic/temperature sensing valve. If you have 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.

A:  The cartridges are too simple to be defective in a way that would prevent flow.  My guess is you didn’t align those tabs on the cartridge vertically (there are detents in the valve body to accept them) or the stem is 90 degrees off of where it should be. 

A:  Hello Liesel and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The Moen Posi-Temp Pressure Balanced Shower Cartridge, part #1222 is the same part as the Moen Posi-Temp Pressure Balanced Cartridge, part #1222B. The only difference between these parts is the packaging. If your Moen Posi-Temp tub/shower no longer allows water to flow after installing a new cartridge, it may be the rubber grommets on the side of the part slipped out of place and are now blocking the water pathways. If you have additional questions or need further troubleshooting assistance, Moen product specialists can be reached at 1-8001-289-6636 and are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm Eastern Time.

A:  This is a Moen valve. Wouldn't work with others. Slight chance it may with certain brands. But you will need to cross reference.

A:  This cartridge only works on certain Moen valves.  If you have the Moen serial number, then you can look it up.  They have only had 4-5 different ones in the last 40 years, so if you know the approx year it was installed then you can usually narrow it down.  Here is a good article on it: https://www.h2ouse.org/which-moen-cartridge-do-i-need/
