“Old shower cartridge was a bear to remove, had to call a resourceful plumber to hae the plastic orignal (20 years old) melted via torch . What a mess,. The new one was installed after the plumber steel epoxied the old brass fixture since it was ptted inside the fitting. He did a great job, new platice MOEN cartridge worked when the Heavy Duty Brass Moen cartridge would not fit properly and leakedafter install. I recommend replacing Moen cartridges periodically to avoid the issues we encountered.”
“Prices have really gone up on these. I am pretty sure if you can wait you can get a new one for free from Moen but you need the serial number off the valve body. I could not wait so paid the price but it is OEM quality.”
“This was an OEM for my 2010 Moen bathtub that was dripping. I had a plumber install. He was impressed by the price that he ordered a couple himself. These are more expensive other places, but same OEM product. So far, it's working great!”
“Must use the tools to remove the valve , it could be very difficult to remove with players if you pull too hard it can caused problem on pipeDepend on previous installation”
