This video will show you how to repair a leaky Moen shower or bathtub. You will be able to fix this with a 1225 Moen cartridge.
Very helpful, thanks. Everything necessary, nothing not. This is what a how-to video should look like.
Mr. Dan, I cannot thank you enough on your demonstrating the remove/replacement of a Moen Single Handle Lever Showerhead Faucet by replacing the Moen 1225 replacement cartridge. After calling almost a dozen plumbers today with an emergency (the shower head was on full and would not shut off), and getting no help whatsoever, I turned to looking up online 'how-to videos', and there you were. I followed your instructions to the letter. Success! All I can do is say "Thank you! Without you, my family would not have had water tonight and we'd be sleeping elsewhere." Now, I have to insert valving throughout in order to isolate leaks when they occur (there is only one shut off valve for the entire house!). Thank you again Sir! Fantastic plumbing lesson!
Hey Danny--thanks so much for your video! Fixing my leaky tub faucet was my first plumbing project I ever did, and thanks to your video, I was able to do it with little difficulty.
Thank you for this video! Because of you I replaced my Moen cartridge without calling a plumber. Could not have done it without this awesome video!
This video was exactly what I needed. Super easy to follow along, and I had my faucet fixed in no time. Thank you!
In the midst of a pandemic, you definitely don’t want to have water shut off or over pay someone to come in your house! This video was so helpful and right on time! I am thankful for people like you who think to upload DIY videos like this! It took me way longer than 9:10 secs lol but I have a life long skill, and can take a shower/ wash our hands haha! So, Thank You!
I am a woman that lives in an area that plumbers take there own sweet time to help so youtube has been a life saver for me! Thanks to you and Ace Hardware I have now replaced my moen cartridge and saved a lot of money!!! Could have saved more if I would have contacted moen...I understand they send you free replacement cartridges..mine cost $44+.
Thank you for this video! You helped this 60 year old grandma fix a drippy faucet, saving me not only a plumber bill, but also my water bill. Your instructions and video were very clear and easy to follow.
Love it!
Was taking apart the Moen valve in my shower. I couldn't figure out how to disassemble any further after I got the handle off until I ran across this video. You pointed out the phillips screw holding the assembly together. Thanks!
Perfect instructions. Watched it once and only had to come back to it once. Whole process took me 5 minutes and saved me a hundred dollars on a plumber!
Wow! This was a God-sent! We replaced the cartridge doing exactly what you said and it worked! Happy! Happy! Thank you! 😊
Thank you, Danny the Plumber! This was SO helpful. I was able to fix this all by myself (with this video tutorial). Didn't even need my husband. I feel so handy!
great videos! You're very knowledgable and not boring. lol Definitely helping me out as a new plumber!
Thank you for your step by step instructions. Fixed my problem within 10 mins.
Fantastic video! We did have an "oh crap" moment when the new cartridge wouldn't go in (courtesy of some major calcium buildup), but it all finally worked out. Thanks so much for helping us save hundreds of dollars!
Thanks!! You just saved me $100! I got the replacement parts free by calling Moen and installed everything after watching your video. Great Video!
Thank you!!! Today I turned on my shower only to find that I couldn't turn it back off! Shut off the water main and then searched for how to fix it. Your video was very well made and easy to follow and understand. I got everything off, and then took the cartridge part to Home Depot, where I had originally bought the faucet, in order to be sure that I got the correct replacement. Nice to be told it was no charge due to Moen's lifetime guarantee. It came with a little package of lubricant so I didn't need the plumbers grease after all. I'm glad I was able to do it myself with your directions and not have to call a plumber. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the great video! Yesterday I was letting the water run to fill the tub when something went wrong and turning the handle to the off position would not stop the water flow. I ended up turning off the water supply to the house, removing the handle (with the help of this video), getting a replacement cartridge from Home Depot ( which was surprisingly free when I told them it was Moen bc of lifetime warranty). I replaced the cartridge and reassembled everything else which solved my problem! ! I’m def not a plumber and have little to no experience doing this type of stuff so this video was a lifesaver for me! Thank you again :)
This was my same exact problem! Great video indeed!
THANK YOU- Great video, hot water was stuck full on, got this repaired in 1 hour ( two trips to Home D) one trip for curb key, 2nd for cartridge!
Thank you!!! This mother of four fixed her leaky shower. My cartridge was stuck so I used a puller. I took your point and add grease to my replacement cartridge for future change outs. 👍🏼
Thank you. I just repaired my shower faucet no problems. You've saved me so much money & time.
Hey, great video. Short and sweet and touched upon all the important points. I just followed your advice and was able to install a replacement Moen cartridge with ease. Thanks so much; your video was a huge help.
Great video this guy really knows his stuff. Helped me alot with my diy repair in my Moen cartridge replacement.
I needed this video this morning. Faucet valve seemed to have broken and I needed to replace it quick. It worked out so well, almost became a hero in my household.
One of the best how-to videos I've ever seen. I love the detail you provide and the close ups to go with them. Thanks so much.
Great help today. The step by step demo was great. The mention of the notch at the top was great. (Moen now adds "H C" as well on 1222 cartridge to help with install) Thanks!
Thanks for this....you are helping diy fixers from the island of trinidad...my wife is pleased!!
OMG, From the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️ I thank you so much. I don't have a clue about fixing anything in my home but I followed your video step by step and I feel so empowered. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us for free . I am so blown away I actually fixed it by myself. I haven't used that tub since the Texas storm in late January I bought my replacement part and I did it.Yasssss again I can't say Thank you enough. You saved us so much money on having to call a plumber out. #forevergrateful.
Nice!!!!!
@@How2Plumb ❤️❤️
You just saved me $300 in parts and labor my friend, just went to Lowe's and spent $23 and bada been bada boom
Oh! You mean "badda bing". I was trying so hard to figure what this meant that i forgot to watch the video. I'm like George Costanza... Get very distracted very easily. 😂 Will watch now...
Thanks so much for this video, the valve was very hard to get out so it was nice to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Was able to get the part for free at a plumbing wholesale with our old part so a free fix instead of the $380 we paid for the other shower to be fixed. Much appreciated. 😁
yes Moen has a lifetime guarantee on their cartridges
I have done handyman services for 30 years. This is great information to have, even to include the part number. Awesome job.
Thank you so much for this video, step by step was very helpful. For those whose cartridge may be stuck, I stacked some washers with the hole size larger than the cartridge and used a screw as a puller, pulled the cartridge right into the washers, easy peasy!
Fletchaka Thank you for this suggestion! Mine was very stuck after 30+ years but with adapting your suggestion to what I had available since I didn't have large enough washers, I finally got it out. Not easy peasy, but as a 60-year-old woman, I finally got it done!
Mime is stuck and don't understand ur comment, can u explain a Lil more?
Thanks for this! You helped me save the day. I had never fixed a faucet before.
Thank You, the 7/64 hex wrench, taking off the knob, and tightening all the screws took care of my problem today.
GREAT video!!! I have to attempt to do this myself and thankfully yours was the first video I looked at and it is so clear and step by step......let's see if I can do it!!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this as I was able to replace it by myself after watching your video!!!
Great instructional video! I followed your video and fixed my leaky shower faucet in about 10 minutes flat. Saved me a ton of money!
Thanks for the video - the instructions worked a treat. Our cartridge wouldn't budge at first; a couple shots of WD-40 later and it was out.
Pin replacement and reassembly A+…Your video filled in the blanks of some others. My handle is wonky- off at 12, warm at 4, and cold at 8! But hey for an almost 59 yr old, It’s working! I survived the shower. Just thankful on a Sunday night! Took me 3, hours and a trip to Lowe’s. About $100! I’m pretty proud. Thank you. Will address the wonkiness later!
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to change the cartridge and stop a year-long leak. Many thanks for the step by step instructions. 😊
I don't know if I will mess with my leaky faucets but this is very interesting and informative wishing I was young again so I could experiment fixing things. Great service to the public.
Older Moen handles require, believe it or not, a 1/16 inch allen wrench. Most info out there doesn't mention this.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time.
The 7/64's is a rare, bizarre size... they should have used a standard 1/8" Allen wrench...
1/8 doesnt fit and 3/32 is slightly to small. Not snugg enough to turn it
Too*
Thank you for taking the time to make this very helpful video,
Perfect!! I fix our shower faucet with the help of this video. Thank u to the uploader of this video.
LIFE SAVER! Great video and much thanks. Turned a several hundred dollar service call into a $50 repair.
Perfectly done, thanks for removing the unknowns. Fixed my valve quickly. The old was the original home builder unit, lasted 18 years.
Thanks a million for your video!!! You published this 9 years ago, but it helped today. I just fixed my leaking shower nd saved lots of $$$$ 👍🏼😁
Great step by step! I did it all by myself with your help ! Thank you !
Heyyyy Danny, thank you. I was in the middle of this same job on the tub, saw your video and found out just what to expect. My valve was at least 25yrs old. Didn't work as good as yours, you know the nightmare. Stem broke away and left the sealing mechanism stuck inside. I used this extraction tool with a clever 2nd function, a spring loaded nipple and a compression fitting on a smaller metal tube inserts into the stuck remainder, twist and work the remainder free. THEN I'm at the easy spot you are of greasing and inserting the new valve piece. Yessssssss!
You might want to make a related video of this problem using the extraction tool I described.
Love this Moen valve, smooth, working good after 25 years!
It was a real kick to fix this after fighting with this sticky valve for years.
Too much reward and satisfaction in doing it myself to let somebody else fix it.
Well thank you very much for the video I was afraid of breaking something but pulling is the right way now I can fix it God bless you
Thank you so much I was able to fix my parents shower , went to homedepot and they gave me a replacement for free , nice video bud
Thank you for your informative video, not only informative, also gave me the confidence to take this project on my own. Thanks greatly.
Thank you very much Danny. You really showed me a wealth of knowledge in your videos. Sincerely, Jim, Philadelphia, PA
Thank you for your video. You certainly helped me to fix my leaking faucet with ease.
23 bucks at my home depot. My part came pre greased.
Keep the easy fixed coming. Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I just did this all by myself after watching the video yesterday. absolutely fantastic how easy it was!!
Great Video. Able to replace the leaking cartridge as per the video. This Video did not explain how to adjust the temperature which took me few trial and error to finally successful. Thanks a lot.
This is an excellent video, really easy to understand. Helped me a lot, thank you!
this worked out great and I had a slightly different part on the pull. i was surprised how easy it is to switch out. thanks for the video.
Thank you very much. Tackling this task tomorrow for a few of my bathrooms and your demo is spot on.
Thank you for posting, you are so kind. The plumbers in my area are very rude and overcharge.
Thank you for this video! I followed it step by step and all is well now!! I trruly appreciate the guidance and ease you've created in this video fir us at home to be successful.
Hi Dan, thanks a lot to your video, mine was cut in half in the middle and no water coming out, your moen demo was exactly the same so I did it. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video. I got my shower water faucet fix today.
Thxs so much for making this video. I was able to make this repair last Saturday.
I just want to thank you for this video, it was a lifesaver yes the valve was hard getting out but without your comments I wouldn't have known. Got it all put together and it works great! Thanks again! I am now a subscriber of yours.
GREAT JOB!!! you saved me hundreds of dollars. just did this myself today following your instructions step-by-step. took me about 1 1/2 hours all in (shutting off water, running to Home Depot to get part, etc). cannot THANK YOU enough!
one thing to add - - some of the other videos talk about getting a puller for the valve system (you don't)... if that valve is stuck, as it was with mine, get some needle nose in there and "turn" the ends of the sleeve. it loosened it enough to pop out.
What's a needle nose? Mine is stuck

excellent video...…...I have the same exact moen faucet that's been leaking for a while......I was able to replace the 1225 cartridge today while under quarantine...….my only problem was I had a hard time getting handle off... great video......
Very very useful class. Well explained everything step by step. Thank you so much
Liked amd subscribed!!! Worked perfectly. Came home after work and the shower would nt shut off ended up cutting the water and having to go to Lowes and get a moen 1222. The Hex/Allen Wrench was probably the most annoying because my key is for 7/64" and I didn't have the one in particular. Other than that great video will be watching more thank you again.
This was a great video. Short, to the point and worked great! Thanks.
Thanks a ton! This was an easy fix that made me look like I knew what I was doing.
Great video. This helped me replace my downstairs bathroom valve. Excellent instructions!
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to fix it with no problems. I just had to run to the hardware store to buy the part! I appreciate your help!
Thanks for the tip about the "little groove".
Thank you for this know how video. I wouldn't have been able to do it without this video.
Moen is a great company! I called them and they sent me a free 1222 B cartridge for free which at HD is 40 dollars. They also sent me a new tub spout for free. So use Moen over other products!
They usually send it for free if the original broke within 1 year. How old was yours?
Went into home depot..
Said 50$+ on line home depot.ca
They gave it to me free. Said it was covered under warranty even though I didn't originally buy my faucet from there . 👍
Great info and excellent camera work! You’ve saved me a couple hundred dollars. Thank you
PERFECT VIDEO. I JUST LEARNED BECAUSE OF YOUR VERY WELL DETAILED VIDEO. THANKS!!!!!!
Thanks for the thorough explanation of this. Excellent video.
The plumber quoted us 347 dollars for this fix. We just did it for less than 50! Ours was stuck in there pretty good and actually broke off inside leaving us to chisel the plastic casing out so took us a bit over an hour to do BUT I am happy to save the 300 bucks. Thank you!!
Thanks for the video it helped me out a lot for anybody that can't pull the old cartridge out with mine the new one came with a white plastic unlock collar that you had to twist to be able to pull the old one out... Just in case anybody had the same problem as me... Again thanks for the help
Aafterreplacing the Moon cartridge and putting back together I’m having problems getting the stop sleeve back in place over the cartridge. Terrific help on removing old cartridge.
This video was hugely helpful - thanks for posting.
Many thanks for detailed show which let me understand how Moen faucet works.
I did this 4 years ago and had no idea why my hot and cold are reversed. I now have to change the cartridge again and will pay close attention to that. Thanks
thanks, very well done, every step was clearly shown and explained.
Moen will send you the parts & instruc. for free. Thanks for the video. though. It helped to see the process. We actually had no issues doing this.
excellent video you didnt waste time chatting you got right to the job thanks, my shower head is dripping and the handle doesnt feel right when I turn it. I'm hoping this does the trick
This video was exactly what we need. We thank you very much. Wish you succes in your business!!
Great Video ! Flawless process!
Nice and detailed! Really helped a lot. Thanks!
Straight forward and dead on . Great help!
Hi, thank you for the comment. Its difficult to say what the problem is without seeing it. However try greasing it, it can't hurt. I use 300 degree plumbers grease by Hercules.
Thanks for the clear step by step tutorial!!!!!
Thank you so VERY much! Your video gave me the knowledge and the confidence to attempt this repair, and it was a great success!
Thank you! Well explained, very helpful.
10yr old video. Nice. Ty for doing it and keeping it out there.
You just saved me a ton of money! Thank you.
Excellent video. Thank you!
