1225 1225B Dual-Seal Cartridge Replacement Kit (2 Pack) Compatible with Moen Single Handle Faucets/Showers, Brass Internal Shaft

Great replacement item.Durable, easy to install, and fast fix for your faucet problem. Very good quality, and functional.

See headline. I have not used these specific ones at this time.I was going to buy the cheapest 2 pack without the clips ;but I need new clips for a couple of the 3 faucets I recently did and saw they are corroding pretty badly by now. I do have (and have used) some other of cartridge replacements of different brands and these match up exactly when I compared them side by side with ones that I have used. These types of sink parts from different brands can have different numbers of the little black gasket rings but all have worked for me, I ordered these specifically as they come with the little brass clips, as sometimes i have need of them.Every few years a sink faucet will get hard to push\pull or leak, and it's good to have some on hand. My bathtub shower handles happen to use the same part, so that's handy if I have a spare to put in. Simple to replace, just remember to FIRST turn off all water lines under the sink, or for the house if doing a bathtub which you know uses the same part, or a sink whose valves leak only when shut off or too difficult to shut off.You might need to buy the special puller tool which screws down onto the old part and gives you something more to hold to pull the part out. Sometimes it will come out by grabbing the old part with pliers and pulling. If not you need the tool. I did need it for a couple of faucets and it was worth it just for that. Most of mine have come out with pliers though,I started doing this when a bathtub faucet stuck and I had to call a plumber. I watched him and asked questions, and also confirmed the sinks used the same cartridges. If the hot/cold water comes out reversed when turning the handle after replacement, you turn off the water to prevent accidents, then remove just the handle, pull up the inside rod that moves up and down when turning water on/off, and turn it around180 degrees then put the handle back on and turn on the water. It should now work correctly, so there is no need to panic if the first time after you replace the part, it's working opposite from the way it had been. it's simple to fix.Been doing this ever since that first plumber call, and saved myself a lot of money that would otherwise have been going into a plumber's pocket. I know, as the plumber who fixed the first one cost me $150.00 for the service call and repair, if I remember right. I've replaced 6 over the years after the plumber showed me how simple it was. Lived here a long time and it's good to have the faucets work smoothly,

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy installation, working as well as brand name. Very poor instrucitonsReviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Color: 1222-1PackVerified PurchaseI have had to replace the cartridges in 3 of my sinks recently and in every case these replacement cartridges are working as well as the originals with no leakage. Installation is easy except that there is no way to know ahead of time if the cartridge is being installed so that the hot and cold water are controlled correctly, i.e. turning left for hot and right for cold water. This proved a frustration with one of the faucets. Also, if you have never installed one of these don't count on the instructions to be of much help. Instead, check out Youtube or other on-line sources to know how best to accomplish this. Finally, if your old cartridge is stuck overly tightly due to corrosion, calcium build up, etc. then you will likely need an additional Moen cartridge replacement tool to complete the installation. This tool is not expensive and is a great labor saving device that I highly suggest considering, especially if you think you may be replacing multiple cartridges over time. It is useful for both sing, tub and shower cartridges.I can't speak yet as to long term durability since I only recently installed the cartridges but if issues arise I will update this review.

Fits perfectly into the Moen shower/tub faucet. Operates smoothly (apply silicone grease before installing) after installing. For longevity, no comments yet as it was installed yesterday. Looks like a good product with a reasonable price. I will update here if a reasonable product life is not availed. Overall, I would recommend this product.

I normally turn my nose up at aftermarket Moen parts as I have a hotel full of fake Moen posi temp carts that are very problematic. So I use the real Moen rebuild kits or real Moen carts as the fakes are discovered.In this case with the Moen 1225 carts, there is no Moen rebuild kits available through my approved vendors. The aftermarket rebuilds don't go together correctly and I'm in a bind as I have over 120 lav faucets in this building that are aging and beginning to leak. Stocking large numbers of OEM 1225 carts is not in my budget so I thought I would give these aftermarket carts a try as they are less than half of OEM in price.The build quality seems excellent and without breaking out calipers, they seem identical to OEM. They come well greased and the instructions are superior to the instructions that come with the OEM carts. Operation is perfect and smooth as silk. Just like OEM. I'm braver with these ones as these faucets don't require posi-temp (anti-scald) like the shower and tub 1222's. I've never found a good aftermarket for those.I'm pleased that I can get a pile of these on my shelves to have on hand when a guest has a after hours "issue". They don't care how many years this new cart may or may not last.... so I'm willing to give them a try for the long haul at huge savings.Have a good day all :)

Once I cleaned the faucet's internal tube with a round 3/4-inch diameter fitting brush on an electric drill, the part fit smoothly into its home.Be sure to clean or flush out any remnants of the previous part before inserting the new one.
