    Thank you for your video tutorial. I am a busy, single woman whose shower would not turn off on a Saturday night. I watched your video, then rushed to Home Depot 45 minutes before they closed. I worked on the steps and got stuck on pulling out the cartridge. That night, I ordered a puller from Amazon and it arrived Sunday afternoon. I continued to follow your instructions. It took a while to remove the cartridge, but I remembered your instructions about being patient with this step in removing the cartridge. It Worked 🎉. I continued to follow your instructions and completed the plumbing project with your instructional video. Thank you for your video.

    Okay, as a professional instructor, I really appreciate it when instruction is given clearly, step by step, and points out pitfalls - "the notch on the flat side" & "make sure the bottom is flush" - which are generally common mistakes. I often watch 3 or 4 UA-cam videos when I'm trying something new. In this case, I watched 3 other videos, including the official Moen video, and NONE of those other videos pointed out the "notch" or the "flat bottom". Kuddos for an Excellent video. Definitely saved me a bunch of headaches. Thank you.

    You, sir, are a credit to your profession, youtube, and the human race in general. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I had done wrong when I replaced mine. In the video published by moen it says to turn the brass part to the off position before reattaching everything, which screwed everything up. Your video left it in the on position, and that was what worked for me. Thanks for the awesome video!

  • @MikeMastropierro
    @MikeMastropierro 4 роки тому +8

    Hey thanks for the video! Some of my own insights:
    Bring a towel! Tuck it right under the enclosure, so any nasty dark water doesn’t drip on your tiles and grout.
    Watch out for broken gaskets! A small piece of the old cartridge fell off in the enclosure, and it took me a few minutes to figure out why the new one wasn’t going back in all of the way.
    When you take the assembly apart, line them in order so when you close it back up everything goes together in its proper sequence.
    I’m thinking the core puller is definitely worth the 15$ investment for aggravation’s sake.
    Make sure you let all of your faucets run for a little bit after you turn the main back in so you can flush out any sediment. Same goes for your washer machine; run an empty load so your clothes don’t get a rust bath.
    Thanks again for the video!

    Thank you!!! I spent forever completing this job. My old cartridge was stuck due to the rubber on the sides. After I finally got it removed (i had to go buy the moen cartridge removal tool) I couldn’t slide the new one all the way in! The oil they give you inside the packaging is useless and wound up not being sufficient to slide mine in without ripping the rubber again. Swapped the broken one out and bought some faucet grease. Used the removal tool to insert and voila!! For whatever reason my clip wouldn’t fit but during one of my many trips to Home Depot I had bought a three clip replacement pack and one of those fit perfectly. 🎉

    Thank you, thank you for the great, and detailed video! Your video turned an all day frustrating project into a 30 minute, and very controlled swap-out.
    A couple of comments (if I may) which would probably fall into the category of “everyone knows that”, I used a wet/dry vacuum to prevent water from running into the bathroom wall during cartridge swap-out, and I used a head lamp (flashlight) which greatly helped during the removal and especially the re-insertion process of the locking pin.
    Thank you again!

    Great video. I just replaced my cartridge following your procedure. Initially, I hesitated buying the Moen cartridge puller ($15.98 w/o taxes) but I am glad I did. It took pretty good effort to dislodge the old cartridge. Everything is back together. Thanks.

    I watched three other videos on replacing the 1222 cartridge, and this is the best one, even better than the MOEN factory video. I liked the "mistake" you made when installing the new cartridge and explaining what you did wrong. I assure you that I would have made the same mistake

    Thank you endlessly for this awesome tutorial. Having never done any plumbing tasks, was worried especially after looking at a few 'oh just do this'... and done videos.
    Then found an actual educational one (meaning yours) that showed and explained EVERYTHING even with mistakes we all make.
    This was perfection at it's finest. Cannot thank you enough!
    Oh, the end results on my end
    are flawless due to your guidance.

    Solved this problem, thanks to you! You were spot on that nylon key is not needed. The aftermarket moen puller has held up for me. The nylon key came in handy when I flipped it over to push the cartridge in place. The nylon key I was using had a hole thru the square capped end.

    Many thanks for the level of detail in both directions of the removal and replacement thru completion. None of Moen’s video provided guidance of the small plastic removal adapter as your reference to it saved me a delay as that puppy was in there good.
    Moen’s videos ignore that handy adapter so that you make a second trip to the hardware store.
    The no language ‘play by the illustration’ guide references it but it is out of context.
    It’s all good and a hero at the moment...

    This is a great video. Particularly around 7 minute mark about how to property push the new cartridge in. I made the mistake of pushing on the brass and pushed it in a bit, and hence when I turn the water back on it leaked. Ended up destroying a cartridge getting it back out and still didn’t realize why it was leaking until I saw this video. If you don’t have the puller you have to push in using the remove like yours or the white plastic removal bit the cartridge comes with. This avoids pushing the brass in.

    Excellent guide. Showing the mistake of pushing in the bronze stem saved me from doing the same thing. I used a 7/16" socket, a fender washer and a paint can opener to space my hillbilly rig so that I could use the philips head screw to start pulling the core out, as an alternative to buying the Moen puller. I suggest lubing the housing before installing the new core. Plumber's silicone grease is the best but the lube in the package works too. Wet an appropriate sized fingertip with lube and smear it around inside where the core goes. Photograph your old core and contact Moen Customer Service to receive a free replacement part. Sure, there is a nice new core in your shower faucet now; but, the one it replaced was new once upon a time. I have three of the accursed devices in my home. Moen sent me a FREE replacement for one that failed during a hurricane. Weather related, I don't think so. Just horrible luck. I used that replacement tonight when my personal shower faucet failed just as I was going to bed. OH! AND, you might suggest stuffing rags, or something into the hole around the faucet before attempting to install the locking clip. I lost three of the wonderful things while replacing my daughter's shower faucet core. I stuffed the hole before pinning the core tonight and the clip went in as if it knew there was no escape. Yes, I understand that I'm a little obsessive (and clumsy) (and cheap). Thanks for a very good guide. I liked it more than previous ones I have viewed. I think you might be one of the first to warn about pushing the stem in too far.

    • @Hindsight101
      @Hindsight101  5 років тому +1

      Thanks so much for you comment. The mistake was truly a mistake because I had to undo everything I did off camera because the faucet leaked after I was finished. That was a pain but if it helped others then it wasn’t so bad.

    Perfect, this video saved my bum! And yes have patience, we have hard water here in AZ and the old cartridge was a real pain. I added WD 40 and walked away. When I returned the old cartridge slowly started to loosen up but destroyed itself in the process.. I also used a brass 20 ga. shotgun cleaner brush to remove the gunk buildup in the valve body. Thanks Again

  • @luifranco1457

    Best instructional video on how to replace this valve, hands down! That pull tool is worth every penny of the $16 I spent on it. In my case, the old cartridge was really stuck in there and half of it broke inside the valve. No way I was going to be able to pull it out using the plastic tool that comes with the replacement cartridge. I don't know how old that valve was, or if they used the lubricant that comes with it but it was stuck in there so badly that I had to use a long thin flathead screwdriver to dislodge the pieces that were stuck inside the valve. Once I did that and checked the valve really good to make sure there weren't any small bits still in there, I was able to replace the new cartridge as he shows starting around 6:50.
