OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!😀 I am a lady living alone and thanks to you amazing video, I was able to stop my faucet from leaking without calling a plumber!!! Sending you a big hug my friend!!!❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you! Got right to the point without a 50 minute long introduction, and super helpful!
Glad it worked out thanks for the feedback
This video is an excellent example of how to do a 'do-it-yourself' tutorial. Outstanding work, Sir!
Thank you
Thank you! Couldn't have been clearer w/both video and commentary. My late dad (a career plumber) would be proud of me!
Great job!
I use these how to videos often and this video gets right to the task at hand. Very helpful, got the job done. Thank You.
Glad it helped thanks for the feedback
Good video...thank you. No nonsense and clear pictures and voice!
Thank you
I am changing the cartridges myself! It saved me 350$!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video! Saved me a LOT of time and trouble having to figure this out on my own - great video!
Thank you the comment is much appreciated
Best video explanation yet! Thank you!
Hope it helped
This was the first video on this particular faucet that helped!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Welcome
This was the best video I found regarding replacing a Moen faucet cartridge. Annoyingly, it was the last one that I looked at so it took me all afternoon to replace the two cartridges. This video had one element the other's didn't have--that you have to turn the little white thing on the cartridge to align it with the faucet handle. Once I knew that, I had the job done. Thank you for these instructions.
Thank you so much for the compliment
Thank you, that was an excellent lesson!
Thank you
Thank you so much for posting this video! It worked like a charm!
Welcome
thanks for sharing the idea, step by step approach was very nice with some tips and closed-up shots.
You're welcome
What a great video - super clear instructions! Thank you!
Thank you
Great video. To the point and perfectly explained.
Thank you hope you will subscribe
Many thanks Derrick. Your video taught me what to order and how to repair my 22 year old leaking Moen faucet 👍🙂
You're welcome
“Oh no!” *subscribed* keep up the great vids!
Lol thank you
Excellent lesson. I did not know about rubber wrenches before this. I also have made scratches using a rag and pliers, so I "made" a rubber wrench with a piece of bicycle inner tube and pliers. It worked great. I wouldn't have thought of that without your video. Thank you.
Awesome idea and glad the video helped
@@Hindsight101 Thanks for reminding me I HAVE RUBBER wrench. It cracked me up thinking, "oh yes, I have one of those somewhere." I appreciated every aspect of your video. I must tell you, I did see a movie were a lady in green skin DID melt when water got on her.😁 So it could happen!
Lol I think I saw that one 👍
thank you, it was as easy as I thought but I wanted to see someone doing this to confirm my ideas...
No problem glad it helped
This was excellent and very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for the comment
You have have easy and funny way to explain how to do things. Great video.
Thank you and you are welcome
..place the towel over the cartridge as you insert it - will contain the splash... also use painters BLUE tape to protect the other fixtures when using metal pliers to prevent scratching ...
Thank you! I was killing myself trying to get the cartridge out. The trick is to get it started separating it from the brass cylinder it sits and and then get it out with the vice grips. Don't worry about mangling the cartridge as you will be replacing it.
Thanks for sharing your advice
Thank you for the detailed video and explanation!
You're welcome
Great video!!! But, no matter how hard I tried, I could not get my screwdriver under the lip of the cartridge to pry it out.
Ended up searching for a "How to remove stuck Moen sink cartridges" video. Used that video's trick of grabbing the stalk of the cartridge vertically with Vicegrips and using a large screwdriver with the Vicegrips to lever the cartridge up and out. Worked like a champ. After 23 years, that cartridge was stuck, stuck, stuck.
Moen did send replacement cartridges for free, but I got the impression that newer fixtures no longer have the lifetime warranty
Yes, I think they recently changed the rules in the past year
Very helpful. Thanks for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thanks man!!!
You’re welcome
You could use a $2.00 turkey baster from the supermarket to remove the water after taking out the cartridge.
Great video, clear, concise and to the point!
Thats a great idea. I even have one. Thanks
Great video! Thanks helped me a lot!!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the great demonstration. Worked great and very helpful.
Thank you happy to help
@@Hindsight101 A thought about your video. What if you used the dripping event in the Moen 1224 as a lead for what you want to demonstrate next. The main thing that I see in these videos is that there is no gotcha that leads you to want to watch something else. Why not end with an invitation to your next video?
Thank you for the feedback. This was one of my earlier videos. I am currently working on what you suggested
Thanks Bro!! Knocked this out quickly!!
Glad it helped
Thanks! Very helpful!
You're welcome!
Excellent video, got right to the information.
Thank you
What a nice video. Thanks.
Thank you
Worked for us Thanks for the help much appreciated
Awesome glad it helped
I was halfway through watching this video in the plumbing aisle at Lowe's before some asked me if I needed any help. Thank you!
Happy to help let me know if you have questions
@@Hindsight101 In the end your video was really helpful to me in removing the handle and selecting the correct cartridge from Lowe's. However, I guess Moen puts the same cartridge in multiple styles of bodies because at the point you used the water-pump pliers at 2:20 I found my cartridge was deeply recessed and required tool #14272 to remove it. I 3D printed a tool from Thingiverse (www.thingiverse.com/thing:1759028 ) and removed the internal retaining nut. Thanks!
Wow I will have to check this out
Your link isn't working
@@Hindsight101sorry I removed the ) from the end of the link.
Thanks for the help!
Welcome
You did a great job...thanks
Thanks for watching!
great video--thanks!
You're welcome!
Great job!
Thank you
Hey thanks........I went and watched your video again.....my mistake was I some how got the notch a little off ..
Corrected it.....ok now also I will get the rubber wrench ......will watch your other videos......too,... thanks again
I appreciate it thank you for the support
thanks great video, need to replace mine.
Thank you
Really helpful video.
Awesome thanks
Great video, thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching
Wrapping the jaw ends of pliers or vise-grips in ELECTRICAL TAPE helps a helluva lot when needing to wrench down on chromed or finished surfaces!
Thanks for the tip
Great Video.
Thank you good luck with your channel
I just did mine same one but when I tightened it up got a little tough when I turned water on ....I have to check what I did wrong .....maybe to tight.......great job you did......
Possibly you should not have to tighten it down that much, you just want to make sure it does not come loose.
thank you! helped save me $ by doing it myself
Welcome
Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! You made that look too easy. My neighbor has a leaky faucet and wants to fix it herself. I thought I would research and see how to fix it.
Did you make a video on how to fix a leaky shut off valve?
😎
No haven’t done it but learning that is next on my list. Thank you for the comment.
I will be waiting! Thanks again!
Not sure what faucet model/maker I have. Looks similar to your video. I’ll give it a whirl 🤓 Thanks for the video 👍
Welcome
NICE AN EASY .THANKS
You're welcome
great video. Thank you.
You're welcome and thank you
@@Hindsight101 I fixed my leaky faucet using your video. The bottom of the old cartridge broke and remained in the faucet, I used a flare head screw driver and a small hex key to pull it out. Tag n you again for the video.
I've had to do some crazy stuff to get a cartridge out. I think the worst was I had to break one up into 5 pieces before I could get it out. Glad everything worked out for you.
Good job thanks what brand rubber wrench do you have I would like to get one. Al, NJ
The one I have is cheap because I don't use it that often. So feel free to get a better one amzn.to/3cCge1k
Moen will ship you the free replacement cartiage. They have excellent online service! Great viedo!
But you have to have the receipt
@@Hindsight101 Not true, mine is several years old. I just contacted them online and they sent the part free. My plumber said they have a lifetime replacement part and for me to contact them for the free part and I did and they mailed me the part.
I have never tried to do it online. I was told this when I called. Do you have a link?
Excellent video! I just fixed my leaky faucet. In the immortal words of Chaka Khan "I'm every woman! It's all in me!"
Great job, awesome accomplishment
Thanks a bunch! This video save me some money and pissed off a plumber. Well done video...clear as a bell.
Thank you glad it helped
Excellent! 2023
Thanks
I used pliers to pull out no screwdriver word great
You just want to be careful not to break it and it’s stuck inside
1:40 Could use large channel lock pliers and old leather belt to grip base of handle without scratching.
Thanks for the tip
The video on Moen's website is 404, but this video was perfect.
Thats not good but glad I was able to help
I noticed this faucet is the Moen Monticello.. looks like the 4 in mini. Would you know if it’s the same process to remove the water cartridges from the Moen Monticello 8 in wide spread faucet?
Sorry I do not know
@@Hindsight101 Thanks. It’s actually different. I opened both, and each faucet set has a different handle kit inside.
a tradesman Great video. only thing is you used the pliers backwards. There is a direction of the teeth on the pliers. A tradesman showed me years ago.
thanks for the clarification
I have replaced several cold water cartridges on my Moen 2 handle villeta faucet - I still have a solid drip when off - HD suggested putting bit of vinegar in the empty cold water chamber, did that, removed it, flushed it with water, new cartridge - still drips cold water - don't see much with flashlight in empty chamber, bit of discoloration after cleaning and flushing - ???
I had the same issue use a small wired brush and clean the pipe. Buy additional lubricant not the one that comes with the cartridge. Let me know if that works
When removing the handles to get to the cartridges, do both hot and cold handles remove twisting counter clockwise?
Sorry I don't remember I did the left and right at different times
@@Hindsight101 both counter clockwise! My cold was being stubborn but it broke loose finally! Thanks for replying though!
No problem
I bought the 1224 cartridge and was ready to replace the old leaky one . First I found that the under sink shut off valve does not completely close the flow of water . In the basement , there are multiple old valves but none of them seem to shut off the water to the kitchen . The landlord will not help , so I am wondering if it's possible to replace the cartridge , even with a small trickle of water ?
I have done it but it’s not fun and messy. As long as there isn’t a lot of water pressure you sure be able. Since I don’t know your setup, I must say at your own risk.
@@Hindsight101 Thanks for the timely reply . The landlord is obviously not interested in helping , so going the messy route is looking like my only option ( unless we call an actual plumber ) . The situation is irritating because I am able to do some basic plumbing repairs , but the inability to shut off the water not only complicates this repair - I worry that any future water issue might become an emergency .
I can’t seem to get my new cartridge pushed down enough to get the nut back on. I used silicone grease too. It just keeps popping back up. Thoughts?
You can only put the cartridge in a certain way. Did you line up the little notch?
Yes. Your video was great at pointing that out. The new cartridge just won’t push down. It is 100% the right part too. Identical to the defective one.
Do you see any obstruction in the faucet?
No obstruction. Nothing fell in as I took the old one out. Immediately tried to insert the new one.
Do you have a shop vac, towel, or turkey baster to such the water out. That might help
Do you know the model number or name of that sink would appreciate it!
Sorry I do not
I swear every video I watch it's a different type of faucet and they are all different than ours which were installed when the house was built in 2000
You can email me a picture and I'll see if I can identify it
@@Hindsight101 I think I found it, it's a Moen and requires two special tools, great, thank you so much for offering to help
I have the same issue. My moen 1224 was dripping from the hot valve so when I turned the water off, it leaked as well. Now I need a tutorial on how to fix that issue!
Once you shut the water off to the bathroom its fairly easy. The only hard part might be taking the value off because its hardened onto the pipe over time
@@Hindsight101 yea I'm sure it is hardened because I have very hard water and it corrodes everything. Do you have a tutorial on how to fix the valve?
Unfortunately no since it only leaks when its turned i haven't made time to make one
@@Hindsight101 I actually found another video that showed a quick fix that might work. You tighten the nut right behind the valve. It won't always work, but it did for me.
@@Johnny5Scratcher awesome glad it worked
I had low water pressure after replacing the cartridge and found out the aerator/filter on the spout was clogged up with debris and once I cleared that out the pressure was normal.
Good to hear thanks for the tip. Did you find it easy to replace the cartridge?
@@Hindsight101 Yes, your video was the best as far as replacing the cartridge goes.
Wonder who thumbs down nice tutorials?
I wonder the same thing lol thank you for your comment
@@Hindsight101 No problem Sir. I am a professional property maintenance business owner and batting a thousand is what you did. ;)
If you want to get the water out easy get a spray bottle or a spray pump and stick it in the remaining water and spray or pump it out (hand sanitizer pump works too)
That's a good tip. Thanks!
If the cartridge resists coming out is there a trick to help? It seems stuck
Some say use heat.
@@Hindsight101 Thank you. For getting back to me. Our sink is very old and the cartridge was I’m moving. We finally used a block of wood, a vice grip on the cartridge and a long handle screwdriver to leverage/pull it out. Btw Love your videos? Well done and easy yo understand.
Wasn’t moving
My 10 years old cartridges will not budge... tried WD-40 too...no luck!!!
There's a tool I believe that can help but I don't remember it at the moment
What if the cartridge is stuck
I usually never have a problem but I have heard people just use pliers and pull it out
Why does the faucet still leak even when the hot & cold is turned off?
Are you sure that the hot and cold are fully turned off from the shut off valves? I have ve had some that went bad and wouldn't shut off all the way
@@Hindsight101 I will check again.
It was a Peerless Faucet and when I contacted them they sent a similar replacement for $0!
I also was going to hire a plumber as they came out and quoted the job for 3 faucets. The 1 mentioned above and 2 other bathroom ones. The quote was over $700 and maybe worse when all said and done.
So I contacted Moen and they sent me 6 new cartridges for $0 and I replaced them myself. No more leaking.
Two great companies that stood by their products. Always call them first!!!
Awesome, I actually have a video that walks you through calling moen ruclips.net/video/kf9bL3yXoNY/видео.html
This faucet doesn't look like my faucet Is it the same way?
I'm not sure what model is your faucet?
@@Hindsight101 It uses the 1224 cartridge. I tried to fix the faucet myself, but now not only the faucet is leaking but the shut off valve under the sink is leaking too. So now I have to get a plumber and pay him to fix it. 👎 the video made it look easy but it was not easy at all.
Without knowing more its hard to say what the problem is.
Thanks! Clearer than others. The screwdriver bit helps when the 1224 is stuck hard! Just be careful of the lip as its soft brass. Otherwise I used the lever method too. Shown here:
ruclips.net/video/JXvnL6a97t0/видео.html
Thanks glad it helped
You make good videos, keep it up. Clear and succinct. More power to you. I fixed my faucet thanks to you.
I need a rubber wrench. Hmmm
They are nice to have if you don’t want to scratch anything
How about fixing the cartridge, just two rubber o-rings??? $2 at Lowes
Good point ☝️
Put back on
?
Those under sink water shut off valves ALWAYS seem to be an additional point of failure. For most smaller single family homes, especially if you have Moen faucets which seem to be always failing, I think you’d be miles ahead if you just had an easily accessible main water shut off valve. Do away with the the time, trouble and expense of having to replace those corroded shut off valves every time you need to replace a faucet core. Those shut off valves are not dependable and are just a nuisance to deal with - they provide no convenience if every time you need to actually use them, they also fail❗️👈 🤬
thanks for the info!
What is wrong with you guys ? every video I go to stutters, and never completes SMH....
I think you have an issue on your end
Love the pro tip about the inner white plastic knob being the same orientation. Nobody else mentions this crucial step!
No problem thanks for watching
