Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! You were the only youtuber that recommended replacing the cartridge. It has made the entire difference and saved us hundreds in a plumbing bill! You rock!
Great video! Is it a good idea to caulk around the cover plate to prevent water from going behind from the shower? I did have a hard time understanding that you were saying "cartridge". When I Googled the part I searched for "cockridge"!! LOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣 No big deal, I eventually figured it out. Thanks again for the great video! SUPER HELPFUL!!
Good instructional video. Thanks. You should've cleaned that cover plate before reinstalling it. 😁 Baking soda or vinegar. Give it a good scrub. Or you can soak it in a CLR and water solution.
Nice video. This is exactly what I am doing so I ordered the same lever handle. The cartridge was easy, thought I was going to be able to head to the bar for an early happy hour but, the handle will not stay in either the on or off position. Did you have any issue with that? I took the cartridge back to HD and got a new one thinking maybe the one I got was bad but, the new one is the same. I can turn the hot/cold valve, whatever it's called, with my fingers and easily at that. Thanks for your time.
You'll need to replace the valve with a modern Moen valve. They no longer make push pull valves, only replacement cartridges. A new Moen valve will house the 1222 Pressure Balancing Cartridge. They are not interchangeable.
1:36 FYI, this called cartridge Retaining Clip, and if it’s broken or lose it; DO NOT PANIC! Take breath, make sure remember what model cartridge using to replace old one; and now can go to Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, Amazon etc….any place that sells cartridges “should” also have replacement Retaining Clips that can buy and use instead. Just remember that if dint have faucet manual w/ parts listed in back pages…..and most likely ya don’t, might not even know brand or model faucet have….so that’s why can use model of cartridge to get retaining clip replacement if yours up and decided didn’t wanna live at your house anymore, and hey, it happens 😢 Also, and pretty cool FYI TIP: most brands have great warranty usually, and if give them call (CS number on website usually under Service Tab and contact us) they can help you get parts and I like Moen, and they have lifetime warranty and will mail you FREE replacement cartridge to your house. Yep FREE, however, it can take 1-5 days depending where live. Cheers✌🏻
So if i understand it right, this is only going to make the later handles adaptable to the standard old valve, but does not do anything to the plessure balancing that was not available in the old valves. Can you please confirm? thanks.
balancing spool is a separate unit but a integral part of the 1225 valve body which uses the 1225 (12801) cartridge, the cost of just cartridge is about 25 dollars...if your valve has e.g. just hot water, you may need to unstick the #1423 spool or replace it...the 1222 cartridge used in the pos-temp valves are about 60 dollars because the balancing spools are in those cartridges

So, it’s still a push/pull but just with handle. Not a knob.

Did you need to close the central water? During the process
Hi, yes you’d have to turn off the main
