Moen 1200 One-Handle Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Cartridge Replacement, Brass

Product is working fine only time will tell if it will last as long as the original that failed/leak after 29 yrs. Moen is replacing the old ones under warranty as Im the original homeowner, however they are sending the plastic version 1225B. Rather have brass should last much longer than plastic one. At least Ill have a spare for backup. Watched YouTube videos on how to and sprayed cartridge with PB Blaster prior to using the tool to twist it right n left till it broke loose and then slowly removed it. Greased the inside of the water pipe and the O-rings on the new cartridge with danco waterproof grease.

The unit advertised was MOEN brand (original brand) but the one they sent me was generic-- no maker name on package, unit, nor instructions. Seller offered to accept the unit for return, but I said no. Seems to work when first installed. We shall see. LATER: Well, its been in use a few weeks and its getting hard to operate. If you buy one, make sure to get a genuine MOEN brand unit. Mine is not MOEN, and I regret it.

Had all the parts as a group. Glad I got the tool. Old part stuck very Tight. Followed instructions and my faucet works like a new one. Fast delivery.

The item fit and was the same size. The item was not the same as original equipment. It had much less rubber and designed differently. Poorly made. The handle was loose and felt cheap and moved all over loosely after the install. I double checked the model of the faucet and replacement part numbers. It still leaked just in a different position than before. Since it had been installed I did not return. Just wasted $25.00. I pitched it. Bought a new faucet. I do not recommend buying this part.

Local Home Depot in California only had the new 1225 which is largely plastic. Didnt want to drive far and pay more. A plumber had replaced the cartridge in our tub/shower faucets when we bought the house 3 years earlier because they were stiff. One was leaking already! When I went to replace I found it was using the 1225! Apparently hed been too lazy to get the right one too, or maybe he just didnt know any better. If you have the older valves without the automatic pressure equalization this is probably what you want for most single-handle Moentrol, but not Positemp. Read the directions and info on the Moen site to make sure you know what you have. Use plumbers silicon grease liberally on the seals (O rings) before installing for longest life and smoothest operation.

Purchased the moen 1200 single handle cartridges for my older faucets. I have been using an after market brand until I found these at Amazon. In fact I had to replace the kitchen faucet cartridge today, Christmas day. The moen cartridge works like a charm, the hot side is hot and the oold side is cold just like its supposed to work. Amazon and the Amazon retailer were awesome in shipping the merchandise to me in such a speedy manner during this busy time of year, thank you.

Excellent product, works great!

This item I bought is listed on Amazon as Moen 1200 One-Handle Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Cartridge Replacement, Brass. The part is indeed brass, is properly stamped MOEN, and came in original, sealed Moen packaging.

Love morning stuff.

Im thinking this might be regular maintenance item, kind of like replacing spark plugs in car motor, to avoid having problems with them sticking in the block...eventually you need to do it to keep them from seizing ...likewise, mineral deposits will eventually make removing the cartridge from the fixture difficult...I waited a bit too long, and had to use something like a pry bar setup to get the old cartridge out (scary since you dont want to cause leak inside wall where fixture is located) since it took some force to get our the old one...next time Ill plan to replace every other year or so (it had been several years since I last did it)...so good to keep some on hand to replace regularly is probably a good idea, as these are probably cheaper to buy than to pay for plumber if they get stuck and you need external help.
