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

My Moen 1200 shower control valve started leaking after twenty-one years in use. After trying to locate a replacement cartridge locally failed I found the original item on Amazon and purchased it. The item arrived in good condition and on time. I replaced the old cartridge with the new one without problems and it works like a charm. I am thankful that I was able to source the part through Amazon since the alternative was to change out the entire shower valve at great cost and inconvenience. The project was a DIY. The only reason that I did not give a rating of five stars is because the replacement cartridge did not include the retainer clip. Fortunately for me the old retainer clip was not damaged when I removed the worn out cartridge.

Perfect part to get my older Moen hand held shower up and working.

I was lucky as I was able to take out the old cartridge without too much difficulty. Easy to install and by going online there are you tube videos that show you how to install, which is a great help.

Fit into my moen bathtub valve and replaced the old cartridge nicely. It is amazing being able to turn off the water without an array of hand tools!

Fit perfect and was very easy to install

Works great. This is a hard to find item and it is not found in the big box stores. I did need a cartridge puller to remove my old unit.

I bought two of these cartridges and replaced a shower valve and a sink valve,in 2011. No problems at all both cartridges work great. They are not true Moen parts though. Also used a Moen cartridge puller which worked as it was suppose to. Just make sure to use the little plastic cartridge do-hicky to loosen up the old cartridge before using the puller. And lube up the new cartridge with plumbers grease before installing it. Also take off the little snap ring and pull the inside out of the cartridge and lube the O-rings that are inside also. Hardest part in my opinion is getting the u-clip back into place with the new cartridge installed. Use lots of silicon grease when installing and things go back together really smoothly. Update 11-24-15, Had to replace this cartridge 4 years later. I was disappointed in how long it lasted. Maybe a true Moen part would be worth the extra money after all.

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.

Saved us buying a new faucet for a lot more money!!

Was sent an after market copy. Real Moen have the name engraved. Sent it back
