Moen Cartridge Replacement for Shower Valves and Kitchen Faucets. There are two different types of Moen cartridge for a single handle shower valve. The first and most common one is the plastic 1225 cartridge that is used for all Moen single handle valves that are not posi-temp shower valves. This cartridge also comes in brass which is number 1200, but it is more expensive and doesn't last any longer or work any better than the plastic cartridge. The posi temp cartridge is a number 1222. This is the replacement cartridge for shower valves that you turn rather than pull. As you turn the valve it goes from cold to warm to eventually hot. The tools needed for this procedure are pliers, Phillips screwdriver, a small flat screwdriver or awl, a 3/4 inch copper cleaning brush, silicone or heat proof grease, a knife to pull the cap on an acrylic handle, or a 7/64 inch Allen key to remove lever handle. If it is an acrylic handle simply pry off the cap and unscrew the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. If it is a lever handle there is a set screw which is 7/64 of an inch. Use an Allen key to remove this set screw. If it is a lever handle when the handle is removed you must use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the handle adapter. Before removing the cartridge make sure that the water is turned off and open the valve to bleed off the pressure. Leave the valve in the open position as it will facilitate the removal of the cartridge if the spindle is in the open position. It can be turned off at the main which is usually the easiest thing to do, or you can remove the faceplate and there may be integral stops behind the faceplate. Use the integral stops if your water main is hard to reach. On the brass spindle of the cartridge there is a notch on one side. Before you remove the cartridge take note of what position this notch is in because that is the position in which the cartridge will be placed. Do not forget this step as a posi temp cartridge will not function properly if installed with the notch in the wrong place. If you install the regular cartridge with the notch in the wrong place, hot and cold will be reversed. Simply remove the handle and spin the spindle 180°. Pull off the chrome stop tube that encloses the cartridge. There is a horseshoe-shaped retainer clip that must be removed. Use the small screwdriver or awl to pry up the top of the retainer clip. A plastic square head removal tool comes with the cartridge that you have purchased. Place this on the cartridge and spend back and forth to loosen the cartridge. Then take your pliers pull the brass spindle straight back towards you. If this proves too difficult and you are unable to pull it out you will have to buy a Moen cartridge pulling tool. Be sure to buy the right tool as they are not interchangeable. The posi temp tool is much fatter than the regular tool. The tool operates the same way a hub puller. Back off the knot on the tool as well as the screw. Place over the cartridge and advance the screw all the way. Now advance the nut. After the cartridge is removed take the 3/4 inch copper cleaning brush and insert into the cartridge housing while spinning clockwise. When removing the brush also keep spinning it clockwise. After brushing, open the water main for about three seconds to flush the line out. When installing the cartridge make sure that your notch is aligned properly and that the cartridge is pushed in all the way and that the two tabs on the cartridge are aligned vertically. Install the retainer clip. If it doesn't go in all the way either the cartridge has not been pushed in foreign off or the two tabs are not aligned properly. You can use the plastic tool to align the tabs properly and to help push in the cartridge all the way. Reassemble faceplate and handle and you are done. For a kitch faucet, pull the cap, remove the Philips screw, disengage the handle, and unscrew the grooved retainer nut. Pull the horseshoe shaped retainer clip and now you can remove the cartridge. Take note of the position of the notch on the brass spindle. Using pliers, pull straight up to remove cartridge. If you cannot remove using pliers, you may have to buy a cartridge removal tool. Clean out housing using 3/4" wire copper cleaning brush and grease liberally with silicone or faucet grease. Install cartridge, and reassemble handle assembly. If you have a newer faucet, the handle assembly may be a bit different. Use a 7/64" Allen key to remove the set screw found under the red/blue button on front side of handle. After the handle is removed you must use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the handle adapter.

With posi-temp cartridges, if one supply of water, hot or cold, is interrupted, the cartridge automatically restricts the flow of the other water source. This is to prevent you from getting scalded if the pressure on the cold side drops because of a toilet being flushed or any other uses of cold water. The cartridge will only allow cold water to flow through if there is hot water to balance it out. If you restore hot water to the faucet, it will operate properly.

There should be screws that when tightened, will push against the metal flange that rests against the underside of the sink thereby pulling the faucet down and tightening it. Good luck!

If it is simply clogged, soak the head in vinegar for an hour and use a brush to clean the scale from the spray head.

Pry off the Moen (red/blue circle) emblem and use an allen wrench to secure the lever. Replace the emblem.

Actually mowen faucets are guaranteed for life. Unfortunately the problem with yours was probably just a rubber seal. Warranty covers most all of the parts but not normally the two dollar seals. You can contact them I to ask for a replacement make sure you have the model number. You won't get a refund but you may get a replacement. They replaced my bathroom spout for free.

If you didn't open the faucet to relieve the pressure, the cartridge is pushing up against the clip. Making sure that the valves under the kitchen sink are closed, and open the faucet to relieve the pressure. There is usually a hole at the end of the clip which you can stick an awl into to help removal. Good luck! P.S. Make sure to note which side of the brass spindle has the notch on it. It should be either facing you, or it should face away. If you put it in wrong, you will reverse the hot and cold. If this happens, simply remove the handle and rotate the spindle 180 degrees to reverse it back.

The only ones I've seen that are recessed come with a tool, same diameter as aerator with gear like teeth on it. The teeth match up with the teeth on aerator and you just simply unscrew it. If you don't have the tool I have used a pair of needle nose pliers instead. Point pliers straight up, one point on each side of the aerator slid in between the teeth then turn the pliers (counterclockwise)
