“I got a Moen branded part. Worked exactly as it should. Identical to the one I pulled out of the faucet.”

“It was a real pain getting the old one out but this new one went in fairly easily after being lubed up. Since it's OEM, everything works as it did before.”

“My old MOEN shower valve started to become very difficult to turn off. We have hard water, so I suspect calcium buildup. I suspect that if I didn't replace it, it would either begin to leak or stop working altogether. I was concerned about ordering a replacement because I read all the reviews of people buying aftermarket replacements that didn't fit or started leaking soon after installation. So I was looking for a brand name replacement. This one was a little more expensive than the no-name aftermarket parts, but worth it.Removal of the old one was quite difficult. It seemed stuck in place. You have to spin the old valve 45 degrees to remove it. I was glad ai also purchased the removal tool. I had to use channel lock pliers to twist it back and forth when removing to get it to come out of the valve body. When I took the old one out, the rubber crumbled. It appears it had hardened from years of use and I think it was difficult to remove because the rubber gasket was stuck inside the channels inside the valve body. Once I was able to get the old one out, I cleaned up the inside of the valve body using an acidic shower cleaner to remove any calcium and lime build up.Installing the new one was fairly easy. I used the included silicon lubricant packet and applied it to the new valve and also around the interior of the valve body. Installing the new one required a bit of light tapping with a hammer (do not tap on the brass stem - there is a plastic piece included that fits over the brass stem and rests against the plastic body of the valve - I was able to make a wood tap block by drilling out a hole for the brass stem). I lightly tapped on the valve body to set it and reinstalled the retaining clip.The only issue I had was that the instructions were unclear as to the position of the brass stem. The first time I installed it, it was upside down (reversed 180 degrees), which means the shower was running when I turned the water back on. It was a simple thing to spin it 180 degrees to make it operate properly. I'm very happy with the quality of the replacement and it works 100% as designed. Now my shower is easy to operate and is no longer difficult to turn off.”

“I went to plumbingsupplyandmore to buy the replacement but they didn't have the genuine part. They assured me the aftermarket brand would fit but it didn't. I ordered this part and it came the same day. It went in very easily and no leaks. The original part at plumbingsupplyandmore cost $53.48. It was only $35 on plumbingsupplyandmore. If you need a new cartridge buy this original part not the aftermarket one.”
