Tools needed:

A plumber wanted $185+ to replace $20 cartridge with less than 20 minutes of labor. I did it in 30 minutes because I had to take several video shots.

I am so glad I watched your video. Before I did, I got my receipt and product specifications out. then called the local Moen dealer of which I had purchased from before on new construction jobs. The person that answered said she could not help me, so I got out the old dependable You Tube and turned on to your post. I took off the handle, tightened it up and then pressure checked it. not a drop! All I have to do now is put the handle on. Allen Marshall, Mobile,
Nice great job. Thanks for the feedback.
I can share the same kudos for the author of this video regarding how meticulous and so easy to understand instructions he gave to assist me along with many others in replacing the insides of the Moen faucet. Even down to instruction us on the size of the wrench (7/8 inch) to loosen the old cartridge nut, and other matters.
So many other video makers waste incredible time talking about non essential items to the point that I want to fall asleep from boredom. And ironically many of them never cover the important steps required to fix anything.
It took me less than 10 minutes to replace my Moen inner cartridge thanks to the person's instructions. Much obliged!
Thank you so much.
Had the same issue trying to use the crescent wrench. Using the socket to loosen the plastic nut was the brilliant solution, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for the video, was hesitant to replace mine as I’ve never done one before, but it looks very simple.
Yup very simple. Good luck.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Totally helped me do this first my own kitchen faucet.
Wonderful!
Thank you. I was about to give up tonight thinking I had a Moen model that wasn't serviceable, but thanks to your video I saw it was serviceable, and thank you also for the part number too. :)
Glad it worked out for you!
that worked! Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
FIRST THING....... BLOCK THE SINK DRAINS.......PREVENT LOST PARTS.......
Good point! Thanks.
Those particles can be from the inside of your SS hot & cold flex hoses.
Yup, I ended up replacing hoses as well.
How did you locate your model number? Mine looks very similar
I actually have an updated video of this that replaces all the faucet components.
ua-cam.com/video/ADDiq3RalSQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DIY%26LifeSkills
In this video at 21:23 mark, you can see the original Moen model model tag that was taped on to one of the hoses.
Hope that helps.
Also, if you look at the description section of either videos, you can find more links to Moen with addition pictures, diagrams, and part numbers.
Note that I found that many Moen parts are interchangeable...though they may be listed as different number sometimes.
@@DIYLifeSkills great thanks. As an FYI, the parts diagram links both are broken and don't lead to anything.
@@chazrich4990 Hmm...somehow the UA-cam redirect is messing up the links.
You can google "moen ca87480 parts diagram" like this, and find links like:

@@chazrich4990 I'll update the links and retest them later today once I finish my day job work. :-)
What was the problem ?
I have really low pressure.
I was getting small black particles coming out as shown in the video and it was gradually getting worse. And those particles eventually blocked the faucet outlet which gave me low water pressure. By replacing the cartridge and cleaning out the faucet tip cleared my problems. Hope that helps.
@@DIYLifeSkills well i. Was gonna go spend 20 dollars on part but instead bought whole new faucet and it worked. I recently put a hot water recirculating pump and rerouted pipes. I just put too much glue cause when i took old faucet apart it had glue debris in it. Thanks
@@pipelinerskilllabro1659 Glad it worked out for you. Now it's leaking little bit at the base, so looks like I have to replace the o-ring gasket. Gonna call Moen and see if they'll send it for free. My kitchen is due to complete remodeling within a year or two, so I just want to minimize cost until then.
@@DIYLifeSkills good for you. And if it's free even better. I just like to buy stuff to make the economy grow. Too bad Trump is gone. I just hope Biden doesn't mess us up too bad.
@@pipelinerskilllabro1659 What I hear is with many people working from home during the pandemic (like me), many are doing DIY projects around the home, so I think Moen may have actually benefited from this crisis. What I do know is many small business owners are really hurting, and we've been trying to help out by eating out more often. Hopefully vaccine will prevail and we can resume normal life in 2021.
Moen offers a lifetime warranty you can just go to Home Depot service and they will give you one for free. Source my brother in law plumber.
You just bring in the old one as there are a few different types.
@@peterkratoska4524 Oh that is really good to know. I thought I would have to send the part and wait, and obliviously I couldn't afford not being able to use kitchen faucet. I'll remember that next time. Thanks!!!
@@DIYLifeSkills yup I had no idea this was the case. But I had no trouble getting a free replacement (no need to show receipts) today at Home Depot. Im in Canada fyi.
You don't have to pay as it is life time guarantee
Yup. In my new follow up video, I was able to replace the entire internals with free warranty.
It does not help when the demonstrator has already done work BEFORE he performs the demonstration for the viewers
Did you have any questions?
BTW, I have updated video with more detail info and more parts replaced. Hope that helps.
Oh pulleese already. He did some required steps to SAVE time and get to the point. Plus, whatever he did wasn't an impediment to follow his easy instructions. I actually had his video on my screen and simply reviewed what I'd already watched last week. Once I did I didn't have to go back and watch anything in it again.
@@DIYLifeSkills Don't even give him another thought. You notice he never responded to your reply? On UA-cam there's alot of people who simply want to stir the pot so to speak.
