DIY - Replacing the Moen 1222 Posi-Temp Single Handle Tub/Shower Replacement Cartridge

- There was a slow leak that was coming from the shower handle. I've replaced the cartridge in the video before about 9-10 years ago so it doesn't surprise me that this cartridge has started to fail especially considering that the water in my area is very hard. The change of this cartridge is pretty straightforward, you will likely need a few tools (I've listed what I used below). Total time to replace the part is about 15-30 mins unless the cartridge is stuck, however HD sells a tool to extract it easily (I didn't use this tool or need it).
Part that needed replacing
Moen P/N 1222 Posi-Temp Single Handle Tub/Shower Replacement Cartridge
Tools I used:
Needle nose pliers (to remove retaining clip)
Phillips Head screwdriver (to remove and unscrew the handle)
Groove Joint Pliers (to remove the cartridge)

I've got one of these. They break after like 10+ years. It's annoying to replace on some (it can really get stuck).
Man your's looked so easy to replace.
Yeah, the hard water can really jam the cartridge inside the pipe. I wasn't easy for me either and I had to really pry the thing out with some pliers. I think if you got the removal tool from Home Depot it would come out easier, but I didn't want to spend the money.
The handle doesn’t cone out
@@mariaoladovich3620 Hi Maria.. if you want to remove the handle... the one shown on the video has a metal tip cover that comes off with probably something like a flat end screwdriver.
1. Remember.. please cover the bathtub water drain hole!
2. Again.. the handle is screwed on. Take off the cover (it's just a small piece covering the screw). Its at the base of the handle.
3. Once you've removed the screw.. the handle will just slide out I think?
Did you have to turn off your water supply before starting? I think im going to have to shut the main off but know i need to flush it. Will water come out if its not shut off?
Yes, you need to shut off the main water line before you start removing the cartridge, if you don't then as soon as you remove the cartridge water will flow out.
@@bensaysthings so in order to flush it will I just turn the main water line on just a tiny bit?
@@halie051994 Yes, that's what I did. After removing the cartridge I wiped out/removed any debris or crusty scale then went to the main supply, turned it on full for 1-3 seconds and flushed it out. Then reassembled everything. My supply line has a 90 degree ball valve and not a turn knob so turning it and off at FULL was easy. You might not need to go full though.
@@bensaysthings thanks!! im waiting on my. free warranty cartridge replacement for Moen
