1225 Cartridge Replacement Moen Tub and Shower
In this video, I will be making a minor tub and shower repair and stopping the shower and tub faucet from dripping. The faucet I will be working on is a Moen tub and shower faucet, and the cartridge I will be replacing is a Moen 1222, but it’s not the manufacturing brand. Still, from a third-party company that makes all kinds of faucet parts from Moen, Kohler, American Standard, Pfister, and more at a cheaper price, this company is called Danco, and I picked up this cartridge from home depot.
First, I cut the water off to the home and with the water off. I remove the cover plate and handle, breaking everything down to the main cartridge. And to remove the cartridge, I use a specially made tool for moen 1225 cartridge removal.
This is one faucet that I can say as a plumber, and in my opinion, is the best and most used type for tub and shower water supply. This valve, I feel, is greatly made, durable, and looks great. Very easy to make repairs or install. This has been my choice of tub and shower faucet for years. I have worked on many different types of tub and shower faucets, but I feel no other faucets can compare.

"3.12 in Cartridge Puller for MOEN" this little gadget from Home Depot did the trick of pulling out the cartridge. Thank you so very much for showing us such a detailed and well to understand video.

For those of you possibly having issues... This is a very informative and helpful video but it (and most of the other KZfaq videos related to Moen cartridges) gives the impression that you only have to choose between the 1225 or the 1222 posi-temp models. Turns out older houses (showers installed before 1990) used the full brass, 1200 cartridges, not the 1225. I first tried installing the 1225 and the cartridge leaked. I then pulled out the 1225 and compared it against the old one. I noticed the 1225 length is a bit longer than the old cartridge. I then looked up some more info and found out that my shower requires the 1200 cartridge. Once I installed the 1200, it worked perfectly. Hope this is helpful for the folks with older homes. You can buy the Moen 1200 or the equivalent one by Danco. The Danco version is about 2/3 the cost of the Moen.

@jameslee5361 Жыл бұрын

@@justingtejeda Ideally, you still have the old cartridge you pulled out and you can compare against the 1200 before installing it. Hope it works out for you. Once the correct cartridge is in, there is very little friction and no leak so you'll know right away.

@@justingtejeda It should work. My house was build mid 70's. The 1200 worked like a charm. The puller wouldn't touch mine. I ended up using a hardened 12 mm bolt with washers and a little leverage. New one went in slick and I've had no issues.

This video is the truth, I was able to replace my 20 year old cartridge with this diy video. I was unable to remove the cartridge with the supplied white cube or buy using vice grips so I had to run to Ace hardware and buy the puller. The puller I used is stout and worked like a charm. If your old cartridge was like mine it left behind pieces of rubber gasket in the copper line......those remnants resulted in low water pressure. I had to uninstall the cartridge and fish out old pieces of gasket, but once done it was all good. "Core Puller" for Moen part # 45208 at Ace Hardware was $16.00

My girlfriend and I worked on her shower mixer for hours and finally bought the removal tool but still wasn't working so found a metric long socket and used my Dewalt drill and adjust the hammering real light and switching it back and forth so I wouldn't destroy that plastic tool that came with new cartridge then after getting cartridge to move a quarter turn I installed the puller and finally got it to come out , still wasn't easy but she got it. Now we were told the hard water calcium was the reason but after 25 years there was no deposits anywhere but it appears the chlorine in drinking water Deteriorated the rubber portions of the cartridge to the point of coming apart so it was those pieces that got in the hot an cold entrance tubes and jamming it making it so darn hard to remove we did flush it before installing new cartridge

Thanks for the video! After I removed the retaining pin, the valve didn't come out easily, so your video told me to use the white tool to loosen the valve. I had just replaced the valve less than a year ago, so I was surprised it leaked again so quickly. In my case, there was an old O-ring that was in about 5 pieces. Not sure why that caused a leak, but next time I'll definitely check inside the valve body. I cleaned the valve, re-greased all gasket surfaces and reinstalled with success (no leak)

@theartofplumbing 9 ай бұрын

I'm glad the video was helpful for getting that valve loose! Replacing aged O-rings is definitely key to preventing leaks. It's surprising that the valve failed again so soon, but old rubber parts can get brittle and crack over time. Thanks for sharing your experience - it's a good reminder for everyone to carefully inspect inside the valve body for any debris or damaged parts when doing repairs. I appreciate you taking the time to post the details to help others. Have a great day!

@@theartofplumbing Hi, I left my question in the comments but since this is an older video I wasn't sure you'd see it. First, this video is fantastic!! I know nothing about plumbing but I feel confident that I can do this now. My question is, my faucet starts cold then turns hot but won't go back to cold no matter what side it's on. Will this replacement fix that problem too?

Great frickin video! i love to have more info then needed, and the possible trouble shoots and problems you may run into, and the different variation of model, and i'd of not had a clue that the white thing was used to help remove the old cartridge. I'm pretty good good to say the least at DYI, and trouble shoot, but it is brilliant to have that knowledge before hand. (Maybe you do carpentry, electrical, flooring, windows...also? if so post some knowledge)

I feel the need to comment about using a Danco cartridge. I have two bathrooms with the Moen 1225 faucets, one leaks, the other just doesn't get used often so I was going to replace it due to the hard water we have. Well, on the well-used shower/tub, the first Danco leaked at the stem. Bad inner seals. In removing the cartridge, the outer barrel of the Danco did not want to come out. Frankly, it didn't slide in so easily. Once removed, the second Danco leaked. It DID come out easier, but I'm never buying a Danco again. Two out of two leaking out of the package. I would recommend spending the 5 extra bucks and get the OEM. I did that, the part slid in so much smoother, did not leak and works like a charm. Danco parts are clearly (IMO) not built to the same specifications as the OEM.

Sorry to hear that. I agree. It is best to get the original. Also keep in mind. These faucets are life time warranty , if you call the manufacturer they will send out a replacement part for free.

@mariontinsley8646 Жыл бұрын

This video was great. However I must have overlooked any marking but when inserting there is a very definite top and bottom. If you put the cartridge in wrong, then the hot side will be cold and cold hot. Just use the handy tool and give it a half twist.

@theartofplumbing Жыл бұрын

Yes this shower cartridge is adjusted by how your handle is installed. If hot is on the wrong side, just flip the handle👍

@theartofplumbing umm now I have another bigger problem. Due to the dripping, it has caused rust and now it's leaking near the tub drain. Can I fix that rusted area?

@theartofplumbing 5 ай бұрын

@@YoMommaSoFatt1 Assess the Damage: Inspect the rusted area around the tub drain. Determine the extent of the damage and whether there’s an actual hole or just surface rust. If there’s a hole, you’ll need to patch it. If it’s surface rust, you can focus on removing it. Remove Rust: Use a wire brush or steel wool to rigorously scrape away the rust from the drain area. For stubborn rust, consider using naval jelly or a mixture of salt and lime juice to dissolve it 12. Repair Options: Patch a Hole: If there’s a hole, you can patch it using epoxy putty. Here’s how: Scrape and sand the rusted area around the drain. Mix epoxy putty until it becomes one color and roll it into a ball. Press the putty into the gap between the drain and the tub, covering half of the area. Let it dry for 15 minutes and repeat the process for the other half. Apply another layer over the top to seal the drain 3. Replace the Drain: If the rust is extensive or the drain is severely corroded, consider replacing it. Unscrew the old drain using a drain wrench or other suitable tools. Install a new drain flange, gasket, and stopper 4. Prevent Future Rust: Fix any underlying issues causing the rust (e.g., leaks, dripping). Regularly inspect and maintain the tub area to prevent further rust. Remember, if you’re unsure or uncomfortable with DIY repairs, consider hiring a professional plumber to assess and fix the issue. Properly addressing the rust will help extend the life of your tub and prevent leaks.

@SoCal9705 3 жыл бұрын

Tip: The retainer clip should go back in about as easy as he shows. Practice putting in through the slot before installing the new valve and also over the new valve - remember the tabs have to be seated at 12 and 6 o'clock. If the retainer clip is difficult to re-install in you may not have pushed the cartridge all the way in to clear the pathway for the clip below the slot. I had to really get in the shower and give the new valve a good push to get it to seat fully. Broke 2 retainer clips before i realized that.

Before removing old cartridge look at end of stem that plastic knob was mounted to and look for a little step on the very end, that step identifies proper orientation when installing new cartridge so that hot is to the left and cold is to the right.
