Moen Positemp Shower - little or no flow after several years?
Test the flow of water with the showerhead removed (through the shower arm). If you are getting good flow through the shower arm- clean the showerhead to remove any debris and replace if necessary. If there is still no flow, replace the cartridge.

Our Moen Kitchen faucet lever does not stay up
That's easy! My husband is a plumber. he says u have to take the lever off. Point the tip of the lever down and put back on. There's a little ledge of plastic that u have to get the metal handle on. It's difficult to explain!

Moen quick connect leaking under sink
you either do not have it seated all the way or you have damaged an o-ring anytime you are putting togethr parts with o-rings you should make sure and put stem grease on the o-rings to ensure not to cut or damage them. if you have damaged the o-ring instead of a whole new part you can take the o-ring out take it to your local hardware store and match it with a new one. dont forget the stem grease.

Moen 1225 Cartridge for kitchen faucet
I have no experience with modern quarter-turn taps as I prefer the ease and economy of traditional tap washers. I do have lots of experience with O rings of various types.
Most commonly O ring breakage is due to the wrong size being used - diameter and/or section. when machined metal parts are fitted together and sealed with an O ring the clearance between the parts is very small - just enough to allow a sliding fit. The O ring(s) generally locate in a groove, sometimes on the end face but mostly around the diameter.
O ring sizes are chosen to completely fill grooves on the end face without either stretching or compressing the rubber. Grooves around the diameter require similar consideration though some stretching is needed to assemble them; once fitted the rubber should not be under either tension or compression. The chosen section of the ring will allow the groove to be filled when the components are fitted together therefore when they are separated it will seem the O ring is too thin for the groove. If the correct size is used with carefully machined components and suitable lubrication applied during assembly there should be no difficulty.
O rings are available in a number of different materials from soft natural rubbers to fairly hard synthetic materials.
I suggest you carefully measure the components and compare your results with the supplied O rings.
