“These shower cartridges cost more than the aftermarket ones, but they're worth the money because if you register your purchases with Moen they will warranty their products for life.when installing this cartridge make sure you use a thin coating of waterproof plumbers grease on the rubber parts to keep it from seizing in the future.”

“Our shower would drip water slowly and has been doing so for a while now. The replacement was identical to the one in the brass housing. Removal instructions were clear and precise but be warned, the old cartridge may be extra stubborn removing. Be prepared to pull, pry and sweat your butt off. Be careful to not chip, bend or crack the brass housing. Once it's out just wipe the inside clean with a rag, lube the new one with the supplied lube and coat the inside with the extra. It slid right in and I replaced the clip and handle. Be prepared for the handle to turn with one finger instead of with force. After sweating for 40 minutes the shower was working, the drip was gone and I got to try in out immediately afterwards.”

“I was a bit nervous to pull the old one out since everything I read said to not pull too hard to ruin the copper pipes. The house being 35 yrs old, didn't know how difficult it would be to pull, however with the little white adapter they provide clamped by a vice grips shifting ever so slightly up and down, and pulling the adapter handle with pliers at the same time, it came out easily! I used up all the oil it came with on the gasket parts of the new cartridge, used the same white adapter to push in the new cartridge back in, and what a difference! Very smooth to turn, and no more slow drip when off! A novice like me did this, so you can too.”

“Simple replacement. Two things to know. First the old one is hard to remove. Lowes or plumbingsupplyandmore sell a simple tool for removing. You screw it to the stem and then turn the nut with a wrench. As it comes out spray a little WD40 on it. Then turn nut again. Second, when you push new valve in, connect the tool to it with the screw into the stem. It's much easier pushing with the tool. If it doesn't go in all the way, wiggle it back and forth A LITTLE BIT while pushing.”
