Before you disassemble the faucet handle (the part you take out the "screw) you should first place a rag over the drain, so if you drop the screw it will not go into the drain. Otherwise, you may have to call the plumber to retrieve the screw. LOL.

Ok so, I just had to replace my cartridge in my Moen tub faucet. I had the Moen 1222 type cartridge. Luckily this video was exactly what I needed. HOWEVER, it was not as easy as the video showed. I got the cartridge about 1/3 of the way out, and CRACK! The cartridge broke right off! I had to chip the rest of it out carefully. That took about 2 hours. Once I got that taken care of, I followed the installation from the rest of the video and it was a breeze. NOTE!!! Make sure that once you have the cartridge in and the retaining clip in place, turn the water on so you know where the off is before you put all the other pieces back on. I did not do that, and when I turned the water on, with the handle in the off position, the tub was running full force. Good luck everyone.

Many thanks to this video. I followed it to replace the Moen 1222 cartdridge for my shower faucet successfully. My only suggestion is that the video should show in more details how to reinstal the retaining clip: It is a bit tricky to insert the cartridge in a precise position so that the retaining clip can slip into the "neck" of the cartridge.

@user-lq5px2zq1j 10 месяцев назад

I like the Robogrip instead of a visegrip, it comes with plastic tips to cover the jaws so they don't bruise or scratch. The 10" robogrip is the only one I use, the pair that comes with the 7" is made with a smaller grip that is not big enough for an adult hand.

@tristangarcia2437 Год назад

Great video. However, my cartridge required excessive pulling force to remove it. Still stuck and need better tools to grip it. Vise grip here we go!

What happens if the hot water won't come out and u turned all the valves open

@timc1341 Год назад

Plumber here: All I can say is good luck finding a replacement cartridge! That is assuming you can get the original cartridge out in the first place, which is not always easy. Basically there are about 10 thousand different cartridges out there, and home depot carries maybe 10 of them....and many of the cartridges look extremely similar but have one TINY difference from yours and won't fit as a result. When a customer calls about a leaking tub spout, I tell them I'm almost certainly going to open up the wall and replace the entire shower valve because cartridge hunting is a wild goose chase and it will take less time for a shower valve replacement than a cartridge replacement. If the customer doesn't like that, I give them another option: Find me the exact replacement cartridge and I will replace it for the price of a service call.

@Swi2thMummbles Год назад

But why need to open the wall if MAYBE opening the face plate might be enough to work on it? Just a curious question from a regular person.

@timc1341 Год назад

@@Swi2thMummbles Good question From my experience it's rare that opening the face plate will provide enough space to actually change the shower valve. Always of course remove the face plate first to see if it's possible, but it probably won't be.

@lolli2943 Год назад

Stop bullshitting people

@chrish2495 Год назад

So the vavle needs to be replaced entirely? A new handle and new cartridge of a different brand won't work with the old valve?

@dmark2639 Год назад

@@chrish2495 Basically, it's easier and cheaper (because less labor) for a plumber to replace the whole matched assembly of mixing valves and cartidge than to spend time searching for the exact cartridge your particular setup needs. If you want to save money, you can spend your time finding an exact replacement cartridge (same brand, same part number) and either replace it yourself or let the plumber replace the cartridge with the one you sourced.

I don't know what cartridge I need. It seems that you pulled out the old cartridge with a piece from the new cartridge (straight from its packaging). If you are not a plumber you will likely not know what the cartridge you need. You should mention that. Otherwise, this becomes a very confusing video. Maybe leave veideos to the pros who give some DIY tips along the way.
