Moen 1222, Posi-Temp Pressure Balanced Shower Cartridge, Brass Reviews

4.3 Rating 426 Reviews
I had a drip in my shower after I did a retrofit kit to convert a 3valve into a single valve. The problem was the after market valve that the kit came with. I went to my local big box hardware store and bought a store brand valve went home installed it and it stopped leaking for about 2 days then started to drip again. So I did a little research and found out that everyone has this problem. Long story short buy (oem) original engineered manufacturer. This valve is made to tighter specifications a hair more of wiggle it leaks this one hasn't leaked in months of daily use. Save your self the trouble and buy this one. Thank me later...

My shower's flow got very weak, and, eventually, lost the hot water. Replaced it with a new one, and it took care of all issues. The old one had a lot of hard water build up, which was the problem, and didn't come out, easily. I used a heat gun to coax it out, and had the proper Moen tool, which I highly recommend.

This is one instance where you want to buy name brand, the knock offs don't last.

It is a good product at a good price. I compared to the ones in the store and did not see anything to indicate that this wasn't a true Moen cartridge. It works great.

Exact replacement for my Moen shower!Pro tip: Don't wait 10 years to replace it! The old one took a lot of strength to pull out!

The old ones can be hard to get out, but once you do, the new ones fit in easily and fix most problems from leaks to water temperature control. Definitely much easier than replacing the valve body itself.
