MOEN 1224 Replacement Faucet Cartridge Kit Fits Most Double Handle Moen Faucets and Tub/Showers

I've bought several of these over the years to replace the cartridges in a variety of Moen faucets in my house. They work just like the originals, but you need to be careful during removal and installation. For the first one I replaced, I did not have the tool shown in the picture (Moen 14272 Cartridge Retainer Removal Tool for 2 Handle Cartridge), so I used needle-nose pliers to twist out the lock ring that holds the cartridge in place. This worked, but it's tough to tighten the lock ring properly, and it took several adjustments to get it to work smoothly. With the proper tools, this is a very easy removal and installation that most DIYers can handle. A couple of notes: 1️⃣ Turn off the water at the shut-off valve; you cannot replace this with the water on. 2️⃣ Use a Rubber Strap Wrench to remove the sink handle to avoid scratching the fixture. I tried wrapping the handle with painter's tape and using a regular wrench, but it damaged the handle. Don't do this. 3️⃣ Use the Cartridge Retainer Removal Tool to remove the nut that locks the cartridge in place. 4️⃣ Pull the existing cartridge out with needle-nose pliers (I think there is a tool for this as well, but I've never used it). There is a cap (either blue or red) that needs to be removed and reused. 5️⃣ Reverse the steps to install the new cartridge, but don't over-tighten the cartridge. Overall, this was a great purchase and value, especially compared to paying a plumber to replace this.

Viewed the YouTube video showing the install. It went exactly as demonstrated. Slipped in easily, and no leaks. Works perfectly

Exact match, fit perfectly. Stopped the slow leak as expected and super easy to install. Took about five minutes to make the switch.

works perfectly. removing old one without a special tool is possible if you barely turn under sink supply valve "on" ---and i mean BARELY..... the pressure will push the old one out. i then used a plastic straw and finger to siphon out the water in the socket so the new one can just push right in, then install the collar/nut. no more drips

It was the right replacement cartridge and worked just as advertised. Depending on your mechanical skill, it is a straightforward installation if you know what you're doing. You Tube is helpful if you don't!
