    A few days ago my faucet handle started sticking. I had to pull really hard on the handle to turn the water on. The handle was also loose and shook a bit, even though the allen key part was fully tightened. Replacing the cartridge fixed both problems for me, so thank you so much for this video. Some tips:
    1) Home Depot gave me a replacement 1225b cartridge for free when I gave them my old one.
    2) When I tried to shut off the valves under the sink, the hot water valve was really hard to turn. I ended up using a small wrench to turn the valve.
    3) There is a gray round part that screws in and out. It was hard to turn by hand, so I used the 4 little grooves/slots on the side by sliding my needle nose pliers in the grove, then turning the pliers.
    4) I removed the old cartridge using a cartridge puller tool that I already had from a previous cartridge replacement job. But I still had to pull very hard to get the cartridge out. Make sure nobody is standing behind you, or you might knock their teeth out when the cartridge comes out!
    5) The hardest part of the repair was getting the retention clip back in after inserting the new cartridge. You have to make sure the new cartridge is fully in. The clear plastic part of the cartridge should line up flat with the brass part. I had to put the white square cap on, spread my wrench across it, and push super hard down multiple times to get the cartridge all the way in. I felt like I was gonna break the vanity!
    6) I found out from another video that the hole on the cartridge stem should be in 6 oclock position. When I did that, the hot/cold water turned out to be the right way.

      Thank you for the tips you shared, they were very helpful. I have a 90s version of the moen bath faucet and I’m still having problems pulling the cartridge out. I did use WD40 but it had not helped. Any suggestions?

    This video is a lifesaver for a home repair person to fix this exact Moen faucet.
    I am a mechanical engineer and without this video I am not sure I could have figured this out and why I looked online because I was struggling.
    Thank you so much!

    Very cool video. I especially like your suggestion to line up the parts in the order you take them out to make it easier to put things back. That is something I figured out when I was 11 years old repairing a wind-up alarm clock that my mother threw in the kitchen trash can. After I fixed it, I claimed it as mine, and put it in my bedroom. 😂

    Thanks for this excellent video. These tasks usually take forever because something inevitably goes wrong, but this video made everything perfectly straightforward.
    One little tip: The clip did not go back in easily. Look for a little line on the top of one side. When this was facing up it went in easily.
    Thanks again!

    Just finished doing the cartridge replacement job with first effort success thanks to the excellent video on how to do it. I reviewed it several times to make sure I understood how to do it as described in the clear and concise video. Thanks for the help for the job on a leaking faucet that I have put off repairing for several months because I didn't know how to proceed. Many thanks!!

    Excellent video, including how you zoom in and explain each detail. One important point I missed was skipped was testing the hot/cold before finalizing everything. Mine turned out being reversed so I had to pull and reinstall. Still, I just finished replacing my old Moen 12801 with the 1225. I had a heck of a time getting the old cartridge out--pulling with all my might using channel-lock pliers on the stem wouldn't cut it. Instead of spending another $20 on a puller, however, I opened up my small channel lock pliers and put screwed the top screw through the "channel" where you slide the two jaws closer or further apart. This gave me a very effective "poor man's puller" and I was able to get it right out pulling on the two handles of the pliers. Hope that helps someone.

      LOL I did the same thing...WATCH UNTIL THE END PEOPLE....lesson learned 😂😂. Also consider spending the extra 12 dollars on a puller...I got mine out without one but it took multiple pulls using every upper body muscle I had.

  • @benjaminlouie
    @benjaminlouie 4 года назад +2

    This video saved me a lot of money instead of calling a plumber and replacing a new faucet. I looked up other videos and able to do everything but I missed the last part. Before putting the handle back in place, the rare end of the metal part has to be put underneath... (at 5:38) Otherwise, it still leaks... Perfectly fixed after all my frustration... Thanks!

    Great video, and lots of helpful tips. My tap was 23 years old and would turn but not come out. I read that pouring some vinegar down and letting it dissolve the calcium would work, but it would take time. My process took two days of patience and more vinegar, but eventually pulled straight out. After this the instructions made the replacement easy. Thanks a lot!

    Great video, couldn't have done it without you. My first time doing faucet repair. I got stuck for a while thinking the removal tool was meant to actually helped me grip with the plyers to 'pull' the cartridge but I wound up realizing as you showed that you use the tool to 'twist' and later adjust the cartridge, which makes pulling easier and releases the bonds between the rubber and the brass.

    Thanks for the tips, I was ready to take a hammer to the valve when you showed me why the cartridge wasn't coming out. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to make the plastic part move and after shifting the part back and forth the cartridge came out and I was able to go to the store, get the replacement cartridge and fix the shower. Thanks again!

    Pro tip: if the white plastic screw mount (as seen in 5:35 of this video in his right index finger) won't go back on top of the rest of the faucet assembly, it's because you need to turn the Moen 1225b cartridge right (or left) 90 degrees - use pliers to move it. This is because both the white plastic screw mount and the Moen 1225b cartridge have two straight edges and two round edges and must align. I was going nuts trying to figure out why it wouldn't sit in properly. I've changed out the cartridge a few times every time I get stuck on this part.

    Thanks for the excellent information. As a side note, the grey threaded section on our faucet was not removable. It could twist slightly left and right but didn’t twist far enough to remove it. We were able to pull the retaining clamp from the back as well as push it towards the back from the front of the grey part. Once the retaining clamp was removed we were able to pull the cartridge out with our pliers. Then continued to replace the parts according to his video. Hopefully this helps.

    • @FIXITHomeImprovementChannel
      @FIXITHomeImprovementChannel  Год назад

      Hi, did you try to turn it with a pair of pliers? Counterclockwise

    • @christinehulton5180
      @christinehulton5180 Год назад

      @@FIXITHomeImprovementChannel Yes, with all our strength. Also added CLR to try and see if that was the issue. I feel that we have a different moen model than the one you demonstrated as there was no separate white plastic piece, it was one solid grey piece only.

    • @stevebabiak6997
      @stevebabiak6997 8 месяцев назад

      Same here. To get the old cartridge out, I had to push the clip from the two points at the front of the faucet, and it eventually got pushed back enough to expose the hole on the clip; at that point I could grasp it with pliers and pull it out.
      Then to remove the cartridge I sprayed Blaster to do some penetrating, then grabbed the cartridge brass tip with vise grips, and used a painter’s tool to lever the tips of the vise grips until the cartridge came out enough to pull it by hand.
      No fun exploring the how to, so passing this along to help the next poor soul who has a similar faucet.

    Tip: the official Moen replacement part doesn't come with the removal cap (they want you to buy a $30 tool), but Home Depot sells a third party version that's exactly like what's in this video.
