In this tutorial I show you how to fix a leaky Moen bathtub faucet.
Last week my daughter told me their bathtub faucet was leaking pretty bad, so instead of calling a plumber I did all the research and fixed it myself for under $50. This video shows you exactly what I did. It works tons better now and there are no drips at all!
Here is a link to the cartridge I replaced in the video.

If you are having a hard time getting the cartridge out here's a link to the cartridge puller I mentioned in the video.

Excellent video. Short and to the point. Who needs to hire a plumber with great content like this available. 😊
Thank you so much, very kind of you.
Thank you for the post I just replaced mine and with your video it was easy. :)
Man you are amazing. I was very colse to call a plummer and pay $300.00 to replace the cartridge 1222 until i saw your video. I can't thank you enough. You Rock. ......Thanks.......
So glad it helped! Thank you for the kind words and thanks for subscribing! It means a lot to me.
Actually thanks for posting this video, I just performed this myself in Canada. The parts were $ 60.00 at Home Hardware, but they also made me aware of the fact that these cartridges can be replaced for free for the life I own Moen. They even loaned me the better removal tool (sign out) and the job was done in less than 10 minutes. Thanks for posting this, it really helped me to get the courage to do it myself.
Thanks for posting ur msg, i inquired and mine had life time warranty too. Got it for free.
That's great! Free is the best way to fix, I'm glad they were able to help you out.
Thanks, I was able to address this myself through your video. Got a replacement cartridge at no charge - thanks MOEN.
THANK YOU! This video told me the part number I need and gave excellent step-by-step instructions. It took longer to go to the hardware store than it did to replace the cartridge, and the leak is fixed!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO! I just replaced my Moen Cartridge today. I didn’t know what to do or where to start after my tub faucet wouldn’t turn off. I started searching things on UA-cam and came across your video… You helped save me hundreds I’m sure. Thanks again 🥰
So glad it helped, thank you for the thoughtful comment.
Thank you for your helpful video! The hardest part was to take the old cartridge out, but my husband was very patient🙂. Thanks again.
Great tutorial. I have the same set up and my shower head began leaking 5 years after remodel. Picked up Moen part 1222 at Home Depot this morning and it took me 45 mins to complete the job. Hardest part was extracting old part; due to hard water here in Orange County, CA. Used tooth brush to clean up before inserting new part. Worked great. Thanks again for the step by step. Plumbers charge $250 for part and labor. Take you time and it can be done DIY.
Dang, that sounds like it turned into something a little bigger - nice work getting it done! That's awesome, I'm so glad you saved all that money.
Wow, very,very helpful. Thanks a million. You are a blessing to me. I hope to bless others too!!
Dude you saved me some big bucks I really appreciate this video.
Thank you very much. Followed the exact instructions and voila no more leaks.
Thanks for the toturial, my get bad after 15 years and i called Moen and they shipped me 1 carbridge the same day for free no question asked.
Dude perfect video, I was able to do it myself in 15 mins. You have helped me to save plumbing cost the plumbers charge like 100$ and also having availability of plumbers.
Don’t know why plumbers charge too much for such easy replacement.
Thanks,I fixed my faucet inn the shower for under $50. I appreciate the detail and not endless joking / talking that wastes time, like most other videos. I did have a hard time getting the cartridge out from all the hard water in my system and had to borrow a puller.....
That’s awesome! Under $50 is great! So glad it helped :). I had to do it again in a different bathroom and had to ask my stronger neighbor to help get that one out lol.
Saved me $350! Purchase the puller. I'm now a subscriber. Thank you for the video !
That’s awesome! Love this, thanks for sharing!
This video was a huge help, Thanks for the guidance, I was so frustrated about having to call the plumber $$$, I picked up the part at Home Depot and the rest was 123, thanks again!
No problem, thanks for the comment! Glad it helped.
Nice explanation. To the point. Less words that go right to the point
So thankful for your tutorial!!!! It was super easy to follow, the toughest part was taking the old cartridge out, it had been there for 21 years. You saved me a boatload load of cash!!!!!
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped you! This one was fairly new so it wasn't tough to get out, but a few years later I had to change one in a different bathroom and had to call over my strong Polynesian neighbor to help be get it out lol. He got it!
I'm doing that tomorrow to my sisters house. Great help with this video.
Great video! This was really helpful for me this morning and gave me the confidence to do this fix myself. Worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
That's so nice thank you! So glad everything worked out so well for you.
Great step by step tutorial. Made it easy for someone who’s never done it before.
That's great! Thank you so much for sharing. Glad it helped.
Hey thanks for posting this! Super helpful instructions.
Great instruction. Fixed without any issues.
Thanku so much for helping me . Saved us a lot of money this is twice now changing this using the help of your video
1030 at night and faucet went out. Thank you for setting my mind at ease about this easy repair and huge thanks for the part number!
So glad it helped
@@KeepinHomeUp it was perfect. I was able to go ace hardware and get the part first thing. I was in and out because I had the part number and the fix took no more than 15 minutes. The wife even gave her stamp of approval. Thanks again. Look forward to watching more. "liked and subscribed"
I came across your video and I must say "Thank You". You have saved me some serious money. I did it exactly the way you showed. Only thing is that my handle seems to be an 1/2 inch out further. I will retrace my steps as to what I did but I still say Thank you for the video.
That's great, I"m glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know!
this video was so helpful, thanks :)
IMPORTANT! The Lubricant is applied to the entire black rubber oval section on both sides - Not Inside The Holes - although its ok if some gets in the holes. Other than that - Great Video - Thanks!
Awesome video! I did end up making a trip to the big box store to get a cartridge puller since the old one would not budge. Thank you so much!
That’s great I’m so glad it helped
Perfect video, thanks a lot! I will fix my right now.
Well done video. I have a leak in my shower wall, possibly cartridge related. Gonna follow the steps you have here to see if it fixes the problem. Thanks for posting!
Thanks! You saved the day.
This video was very helpful thank you 😉😉
Just had an issue and this was the exact video I was looking for. Thanks!
Thanks…I was able to fix the faucet in my kids bathtub because of this vid 💪🏾
this video is short and sweet. I am going to follow it to open my faucet though it needs no repair. I must prepare before it breaks, because my plumber charges me an arm and a leg.
Fantastic / Thank you ; you are a great dude.!!! I just stopped my leak with the help you gave , on this post.!!!!!!

Excellent video - very helpful!
Well done video, easy to understand. Thank you very much!!!!1
Thank you so much. My leak is fixed thanks to your step by step instructions. The only thing I can add is to inform the audience to close the main water valve (which I did at the very beginning.)
He says it at 00:30

Very helpful video as I have never repaired a moen before.
Good to hear!
Wow thanks a lot bro!! 👍🏻
Looks easy enough, I could probably do it, but my bathtub faucet is old, so I'm sure I would run across some problems. Thanks for the easy to follow video.
Get a cartridge puller , I made the mistake of trying to use adjustable wrench like he showed and it ended up snapping off 😡
Easy fix.Good Video.
Thanks for this video! Ours just stopped working tonight, water wouldn't shut off.
Unsure what to do and your help is greatly appreciated. Its a Moen Shower Faucet. The problem is the Faucet Handle is too far out from the Escatcheon. What do I do to bring the faucet closer to escatcheon? Thank you so much.....
thank you very much for your help, you got straight to the point.
glad it helped! that's what I try to do, I figure people just want to know how it's done that's it. They don't care about the person doing it LOL.
That Allen wrench is 7/64. Another issue I ran into, when I changed mine a couple years ago, I got an aftermarket cartridge, Danco, I think. Trying to save a couple bucks. After installing it, I had a serious water hammer situation. It worked OK, but when you turned the water off you could hear the water hammer throughout the house. I then purchased a genuine Moen cartridge and problem solved. Perfect. Do yourself a favor and get a Moen replacement cartridge.
greets with fire yes, I had same problem with the shi$&##ty Danco. It took me awhile to goggle and understand the water hammer issue. Replaced with the MOEN and it worked.
Same! Fixed my shower a few years ago, now need to fix my bathtub faucet, and I know better than to go with Danco for sure.
Thank so very much, my husband change the cartridge watched your video
Beatriz Petersen that’s great! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for this video it makes life a little more easier, because it saves some money in our pockets. I had the same leaking shower faucet,got the 1222B and change it myself. But I still have like a needle point leak every three minutes, sometimes it stops . I've done everything you said but the two white plastic and the black ones. The plumber said I don't need those, because I a Moen handle. Is there any way you can tell me why it still have that tiny drip.
Nice and easy quick video thank you
Thank you so much! :D
Thank you. Great video and easy fix.
so glad it helped, thanks for letting me know :)
Great video - saved me a plumber call.
Great to hear!
It is helpful thanks so much 🤠
Thank you for ur complete instructions. We had a leak in our shower head, so I took it apart to inspect it and I notice that the plumber had installed it with that white plastic tool that comes with the 1222, I removed that and leak stopped.
Glad you got it figured out and were able to take care of it yourselves.
Very helpful thanks

Thanks for the video! I just replaced my leaking cartridge!
No problem, so glad it helped :)
Watson Rugano ye. Thank you for the video. I just replaced my muffler!
Thank YOU
Thanks! Moen website does have a complete video on the 1222 cartridge remove and install, too. I replaced the acrylic handle with this metal Moen 100657 and it works, except at the Closed/Off position, the handle can be wiggled left to right by a couple degrees, not firmly fixed. What did I miss, if you know?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks this help me a lot
Glad it helped!
This was perfect. Thank you!
Success! Take long thought, could not find the right size of Allen key.
That’s one thing I wish I had put when I did this video the size of the Allen wrench. So glad it helped you.
That’s a lot help
Moen has made it easy
I'm not very handy and managed to do the job thanks to this video.
@RussOlsenVideo dude you are a friggin lifesaver. my Bathtub faucet broke last night (kept running water no matter what direction knob was turned)
I was having anxiety thinking of how much a plumber would cost. but I calmed down turned my water valve off and followed your instructions to a T (after buying a new cartridge)..
The only thing I had to figure out on my own was the position to leave my stem at. I think the position in your video (with the stem ridge at 12clock) is for ppl who want to use the knob left and right. i use mine in just one position (turning counterclockwise from off > cold > hot).. so I had to turn the stem at 6 oclock.
otherwise this is a great video. only cost me 39.99 for a new Moen cartridge at Lowes
also a TIP for those having a hard time getting the cartridge out. I had to spray a little WD40 inside and screwing the little stem screw halfway into the stem . I used some vice scripts to pull on the screw which allowed me to pull it out after about 5 minutes of tugging.. but u gotta be careful not to bend the screw while pulling. pull straight back and out. dont go up and down with it or u will bend the screw
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
