Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This kit contains the correct parts to rebuild a moen 1222 cartridge. The process of reassembly can be tricky. The valve handle turns more easily after replacement than it did after being installed five years ago by a handyman type.

Replacing the o-rings and reinstalling is a snap. remove the farthest o-ring on the cartridge core first, then the next farthest. A flat bladed screwdriver really helps in this case.



Cons

The valve is made with fragile plastic internal parts. I have a feeling the parts are rejects from the ridiculously priced cartridge replacements. This was a really cheaply made part to stop leaking on my bathroom, it is such a poor quality!

O-rings are not the right size, too big. Reassembling is almost impossible as they are a bit rigid. Once the new o rings are put in place on inside shaft pushing shaft in is impossible without pinching the o ring.

Do yourself a favor, save the 10$ and the aggravation. If you're having issues with water flowing, not getting cold or hot water, etc. Stick with delta.

Quality


Works perfectly and not difficult to install


Each part felt sturdy and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability once installed.


The metal core underneath the skirts is the biggest non-uniformly moving part in the cartridge.


I bought a mown knock off valve first time, but while it stopped the water leak, it would not provide hot enough water no mater...  Read More

Price


The cost for this kit was really inexpensive and saved a lot of money by not having to replace the whole cartridge.


Thank you for a reasonably priced and supremely useful rebuilding kit.


This was a $15 fix, plus a half days time researching and doing the repair.


The plumbers i called wanted $300 to come on a friday afternoon, plus the cost of the repair.

Shipping


I could not get a new cartridge even with prime shipping in less than 5 days, although this repair kit came in two.


I contacted moen through their amazon store after recieving the mispacked kit and they sent me a new kit the following day.

Packaging/appearance


Came with everything i needed, simple to replace, and fixed my leaky faucet.


4) the included lube with moen is a tiny packet, buy a big tube of it - food grade silicon, see my picture.


Received genuine oe moen parts exactly as shown.

Competitiveness


Much better value than buying the pre-assembled core from moen (i would avoid aftermarket "china" parts for something like this).


The oatey silicone lube is much thicker than the moen stuff that comes in the kit.


It did the same thing as the expensive alternative.
