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

Worked perfectly. Easy installation. Worth the price.

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.

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

I originally bought cheap aftermarket replacements for both sides of my faucet and even though they worked initially, both of them failed after a couple of months.I included pictures showing the official valve on the left with typical Amazon replacements on the right. Despite them looking identical, the quality is much different. The official valve comes lubricated in grease wow the cheap Amazon aftermarket units do not.Even when the cheap aftermarket valves worked, they were squeaky when you turned them on likely because of the lack of grease compared to the official valve. Both valves ended up failing and only a few months, where they were no longer control the valve from opening and closing correctly.Once I replaced them with the official MOEN valves I I haven’t had any issues and they work perfectly and smoothly. Don’t waste your money on cheap after marketing and buy these instead. Hope this helps.

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!

I replaced 2...Perfect fit...No Leaks....took less than 10 Minutes.=))

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

The MOEN brand faucet cartridges are the best quality in my many years of experience. The first MOEN cartridges that came with the MOEN faucet that I bought back in Dec 1998--I keep detailed records--lasted 23 years before finally needing replacement. In June 2022 I replaced the H and C cartridges with non-OEM brand carts and the Hot one only lasted 3.5 years. I knew then that I need to replace it with a genuine MOEN cartridge so that's what I bought because the quality is unmatched by competitors although you pay more for the MOEN ones. It's worth the extra money in the long term! Two notes: 1. Follow directions. 2. Use a bit of silicone lubricant on the two O-rings before installing.

Works great,watch a u tube video quite easily installed

Funcionando correctamente y su reemplazo fue sencillo

Quedó perfecto, la gotera desapareció.

bon rendement je suis satisfait.

Après avoir essayer toutes les sortes, quand c’est une Moen ça ne coule pas. Coûte plus cher mais fait la job.
