maybe you can help me with something, a few months ago I put a single lever of those moen but it turns out that when I turn it on, water comes out from below and also a little above, maybe I put it wrong because it is the first time with that work you could tell me that I did wrong please?
You could have possible put it in the wrong way but not sure

My cartridge still will not move
ruclips.net/video/T4NIAiSkl3w/видео.html try this video. Also some people say applying heat to the cartridge helps
After watching about 15 different videos on this subject, you are the only one who mentions having the bottom of the cartridge flush to prevent leaks. Thank you
No problem glad to help
How important is it to flush that out ? I installed one today and I might of pushed it in too , and It was leaking bad. Just wondering if that is a key step ?
@@can2jmoney yes, it’s exactly what happened to me. Ended up destroying the new cartirdge trying to get it back out. Sadly it’s not mentioned in any detail in the instructions the cartridge comes with.
Exactly. The explanation at the 7 minute mark is key.
This comment and video saved me
Thank you for your video tutorial. I am a busy, single woman whose shower would not turn off on a Saturday night. I watched your video, then rushed to Home Depot 45 minutes before they closed. I worked on the steps and got stuck on pulling out the cartridge. That night, I ordered a puller from Amazon and it arrived Sunday afternoon. I continued to follow your instructions. It took a while to remove the cartridge, but I remembered your instructions about being patient with this step in removing the cartridge. It Worked 🎉. I continued to follow your instructions and completed the plumbing project with your instructional video. Thank you for your video.
Ronnie
That's awesome to hear. Glad it worked out
This is the best of all the Moen installation videos including the OEM.
Thank you
Just changed mine. No problems. I didn't need to buy the cartridge puller. Great video, excellent instructions and saved me a ton of money. Thanks 'Hindsight 101'😀
Thanks
Thank you for the video. It was more accurate and precise than the recommended Moen video.
You are welcome and thank you
I hope everyone is aware that MOEN has a lifetime warranty on its products. I have received repair parts for bath & sink faucets at no cost. And this video is top notch. I checked other on-line videos as well as the MOEN instruction sheets and video. This video covers all the little "why didn't they tell me that" issues. Good job.
I had trouble with getting the replacement neon told me I had To have the receipt. Which I heard from others you didn’t need. Also thank you very much for the comment.
This is an amazing video tutorial! The different camera angles are genius. The explanation in the voice over and editing is precise. And leaving the mistake in was excellent. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
Thanks glad to help
What he said!!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome
Great tip about not pushing on the center brass piece.. That's exactly what I would have done, and then would have not known to look behind at the valve not being flush.. Thanks for a very well done video - I really appreciated the multiple view angles too..
You’re welcome
Yes!!! This is the exact tidbit I needed to know. I replaced the cartridge once and accidentally did the same thing and tried to pull it back out but didn't actually check if it was flush. After I closed everything up the shower head immediately started dripping. Know I know why and what to check. Thank you!!!
No problem
I don't have the puller, so how do I make the end piece flush?
You could use a wide clamp
Okay, as a professional instructor, I really appreciate it when instruction is given clearly, step by step, and points out pitfalls - "the notch on the flat side" & "make sure the bottom is flush" - which are generally common mistakes. I often watch 3 or 4 RUclips videos when I'm trying something new. In this case, I watched 3 other videos, including the official Moen video, and NONE of those other videos pointed out the "notch" or the "flat bottom". Kuddos for an Excellent video. Definitely saved me a bunch of headaches. Thank you.
Glad it helped, in a previous job I created training material and after watching a lot of youtube videos myself I thought I could help explain thing a little better
@@Hindsight101 Well, you were right. Replacement went pretty smooth with your help. Thanks again.
This guy should do all tutorial videos for everything. Subscribed.
Thank you so much
By far, the best video ever!!!!! Thank you so much! It took me 12 hours (with multiple breaks) to figure out certain things before I found your video. I struggled to get the cartridge out without the puller but might end up having to purchase one. Thank you! You saved me $90 for plumbing service and I’m a proud woman for doing this all by myself. 😊
So glad it worked out, yeah I have had some cartridges come out very easy and others i had to break it into pieces to get it out.
Can’t thank you enough for the video. You’re description, clear camera work and number of cameras truly sets you apart from other “how to” vids!
Thanks again and keep up the great work
Thank you for the compliment and thanks for watching
6/8/2023 THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO IF YOU DO THIS INSTALLATION! The reason is because you are the only one that explained the two (white) pieces and their relationship to get the 1222 to work correctly.
Thank you
Nicely done!
A very articulate and intelligently done video, without all the baloney and sometimes hype that other videos have.
INHO
This gentleman is very good at giving directions that indicate a well thought out presentation in advance .
One that you can easily follow and understand.
Kudos to you !!! .
Thank for the compliment
Clear and concise instructions! The "mistake" you made is something I had not seen in other videos and I am glad you pointed it out, with the right corrective measures. Great job!
Thank you glad it help
This is the best tutorial video ever. You have done us all a great service by explaining each step and part so carefully. May the RUclips Adsense gods shine down on you!
Thank you. My only hope is that people learn from my mistakes
This is the most thorough tutorial video i saw about this cartridge. Thank you.
Thank you and you're welcome
Thanks for the video. It's the only one that shows exactly how it is done. You are the man.
I appreciate that!
The detailed description of the steps and the inclusion of the mistake were very useful. Using the cartridge puller to place the newly lubricated cartridge makes this very easy. Thank you!
You're welcome
You're welcome
Thank you. This was the most thorough video on this that I found. Your tip on how to ensure it's set back correctly so it doesn't leak, solved my problem.
Awesome glad to hear
Very good tutorial. Answered all my questions. Cheers!
The best video showing how to replace moen 1222
Thank you
Thank you for this informative, detailed video! Great job! I also love the different camera angles used to demonstrate.
Thank you I appreciate the comment
Thanks Again!!! for your tip on getting the back seal closed to stop a leak after installing the replacement. Your video made it easy to resolve the problem.
You're welcome!
Had this issue lately but handle hadn’t broke. 30 min ago it broke. This is a great video. Thank you.
You're welcome!
You, sir, are a credit to your profession, youtube, and the human race in general. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I had done wrong when I replaced mine. In the video published by moen it says to turn the brass part to the off position before reattaching everything, which screwed everything up. Your video left it in the on position, and that was what worked for me. Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks so much for your comment. So glad it worked out.
Agree. I don't know why the Meon company video tells you to turn the brass valve from notch at the top to notch at the bottom and then to install the handle. That does not work at all.
Dude, you rule! Your comment on putting in the cartridge in such a way that it leaks helped me so much. Thank you thank thank you.
No problem!
Thank you for creating a very helpful video in changing this faucet cartridge, along with the other video using the different tools to remove the cartridge. Watching your videos made this repair very easy.
Welcome
Easy clear and precise. It's exactly the kind of diy video I needed to have enough confidence to get the job done. Thank you so much
You’re welcome thank you for the feedbacks
Donna Vice how did it go? I'm afraid to try the cartridge (valve)!
Thank you for a clear and comprehensively explained how-to
You're welcome
Solved this problem, thanks to you! You were spot on that nylon key is not needed. The aftermarket moen puller has held up for me. The nylon key came in handy when I flipped it over to push the cartridge in place. The nylon key I was using had a hole thru the square capped end.
Flag you could use the nylon piece for something
Very complete content and extremely well presented. Well done sir!
Thank you, I appreciate it
Nice camera angles and very helpful instructions. Keep it up!!
Thanks for watching I appreciate it
Thank you so very much for taking the time to publish this video! It helped me a lot!
Glad it helped!
Hey thanks for the video! Some of my own insights:
Bring a towel! Tuck it right under the enclosure, so any nasty dark water doesn’t drip on your tiles and grout.
Watch out for broken gaskets! A small piece of the old cartridge fell off in the enclosure, and it took me a few minutes to figure out why the new one wasn’t going back in all of the way.
When you take the assembly apart, line them in order so when you close it back up everything goes together in its proper sequence.
I’m thinking the core puller is definitely worth the 15$ investment for aggravation’s sake.
Make sure you let all of your faucets run for a little bit after you turn the main back in so you can flush out any sediment. Same goes for your washer machine; run an empty load so your clothes don’t get a rust bath.
Thanks again for the video!
Great suggestions
Excellent video! I like how you have the other cameras to show all angles for easier viewing. You made it seem so simple that I will attempt this myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure if you have questions please reach out
Great video, the tip about pushing in the new one incorrectly was an excellent add to the video!
Thanks for the comment glad the video helped
Very good instructions. Thanks for including those tips that others don't mention (including MOEN).
Glad the video helped and thanks for the comment
THE best video about how to replace 1222 with handle, thanks!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video. It was very informative, easy to follow, and right to the point. No extra "fluff" like so many other videos. And as an added touch, the triple-view camera positions were very cool. I'll be checking out your other videos.
Thank you glad you liked the video
Amazing video... LOVE LOVE LOVE the three camera angles!
Thanks so much!
Definitely the best video on RUclips for replacing the cartridge. The explanations were clear and the multiple angles helped so much.
You're welcome and thank you
I appreciate the step by step easy to follow way you explain things. I need to see if you have one for a kitchen sink as well.
Thanks for the comment, nothing on kitchen sinks as of yet. But if my wife wants a new one I’m sure I’ll make a video about it.
You saved the day for me when I was having difficulty installing a Moen 1222 shower cartridge. Thank you!
No problem happy to help
SO glad you included the mistake, because I did the same thing and was wondering why it was leaking everywhere!
I’m happy the video helped thanks for watching
Best video on youtube on how to replace the cartridge! Great tips. Recommend bringing a towel - after I removed mine, a LOT of water flooded out.
Glad it helped!
Excellent DYI video, I liked the multi angle views and the easy to follow description of what was going on at all times. 5 Star
Jerry McSpadden thank you for the feedback I appreciate it
Best video I've seen yet on this. Exactly like I needed. Thank you 💪🏾🙏🏾
Thank you
Great video. Great pace, told with patience and explanation of every step along the way. Thank you for doing this. I needed it today.
Im glad it was helpful thanks for watching
I watched many videos explaining how to do this and yours is simply the best. Thank you SO much!
Thank you I appreciate the comment
Perfect instruction, pace, and inflection. Made my job a lot easier. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the comment
Best video I have found on cartridge replacement
Thank you I appreciate the comment
One of the best vids on this topic. The 3 views are fantastic!
Thanks i though I have 3 cameras might as well use them
One of the best Video in replacing a Moen 1222 Faucet cartridge for the home owner ! THANK YOU !
Thank you for watching and the comments
We watched several of these. This one is the best!! Thank you!!
Thank you
Thank you for this video. I was having trouble getting the cartridge retaining clip back on, so I followed you lead and removed the faceplate. It worked!
Happy it worked out for you. Thanks for watching.
Great professional helpful video and right to the point. Especially paying attention to keeping the bottom of the cartridge flush to avoid a leak.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video!!! You are a very gifted teacher. Also, if I hadn't seen your video and your discussion of your "mistake", I would have had no idea why I had leaks everywhere. Thanks a ton!
Thank you
There are many videos for this process. Here is one of the best. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment, after seeing all the same videos trying to figure out what they were doing I decided to make my own video.
Life: Hindsight 101 I’m so glad you did. I liked your use of several camera angles.
Thank you so much for this video!! I was able to successfully change the cartridge while my hubs was at work!! And I was able to avoid the pitfall of the misaligned cartridge base. Top notch!!
Glad it helped thanks for watching
Terrific video and I watched a few to get an idea of what to expect This video points out the critical tip to NOT push the new cartridge in by gripping valve stem with pliers. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment
Well this comment will simply be a repetition of nearly all the other comments. Love the different camera angles and clear instructions. Great job! Thank-you from Eastern townships, Quebec, Canada. Got yourself a new follower! ☯️
Thank you and I always appreciate the comments
Thanks I couldn't get retaining clip back in. Watched your video and realized I had pushed on the brass piece and it wasn't flush. Excellent video!!!
You are welcome thanks for watching. Do you think it was easy to do overall?
Thank you for posting this, was a great video and really helped me today. My wife was quite impressed also that I was able to fix it. Thanks.
Happy it worked out thanks for watching
my husband followed your video, he was very impressed that you made it so clear and easy to follow. Well done.
Glad I could help thank you for the feedback
Best informative video on RUclips that explains how to do this. I just replaced one of ours in my kids bathroom while watching this👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for the comment its much appreciated
the retainer is easy to drop when trying to replace it. I tied a thread to it. I dropped it twice but the string saved me.
Great idea
I think this method of teaching others is the BEST. Different angles to see what is happening thru the process. Love it! Went straight to Home Depot, got my materials and off to do this. Only part I struggled with was putting the clip back in. Thanks so much for the easiest method for this!
Thank you for the comment
Worked for me replacing the cartridge in my 2nd bath just now, thanks!
No problem glad the video helped
Great step by step..contained some small things others did not.
Glad the video helped
Bro you saved my life with this video. Thank you so much.
Happy it helped
Almost 6 years later you just helped someone else! Look forward to seeing what else is on the channel!
Happy to help
This is a great video. Particularly around 7 minute mark about how to property push the new cartridge in. I made the mistake of pushing on the brass and pushed it in a bit, and hence when I turn the water back on it leaked. Ended up destroying a cartridge getting it back out and still didn’t realize why it was leaking until I saw this video. If you don’t have the puller you have to push in using the remove like yours or the white plastic removal bit the cartridge comes with. This avoids pushing the brass in.
I'm glad everything eventually worked out
Great video! Love the multiple camera angles
Glad you like them!
Excellent video and with multiple angles, it is one of the best video I have seen. You get FIVE STARS. I will try to do it myself and save a bundle! Thanks so much
Thank you
Thank you for this video!! It is so much better than the Moen installation video. It showed me how to correct some installation errors I made following their instructions. Thank you for being so thorough and clearly explaining the steps.
Happy to help
I watched three other videos on replacing the 1222 cartridge, and this is the best one, even better than the MOEN factory video. I liked the "mistake" you made when installing the new cartridge and explaining what you did wrong. I assure you that I would have made the same mistake
Thanks for this, it ended up being super straight forward but it’s good to see someone else do it first before committing to the repair.
Glad to help!
Great instructions and thank you for the tip on re-installing the cartridge with the tool... since I almost made the same mistake.
The old cartridge was a nightmare to remove because of the rubber seals getting caught between the plastic and copper housing! Tip: Use a little WD-40 when removing it. It helps!
Since this one I’ve had to replace a few more cartridges and they were a beast to remove
Derrick, Thank you so much for this informative and excellent video. It was so easy to follow with detailed explanation for each step. I also appreciate your use of additional camera angles.....so helpful! You saved me a lot of money and I completed the repair feeling pretty proud of myself!
Awesome thanks for the comment
This video and its maker are both intelligent and helpful.
Thank you I appreciate it
Your instructions were written exactly for me. I was going to call a plumber and after watching your video, I decided to give it a try. I bought the cartridge and the tool and with iPad in hand I followed your instructions step by step. All went well and. I saved a couple of Benjamin’s in the process. Thanks very much.
Thank you for the feedback glad I could help
So many thanks for this video! I did it myself after waiting for my plumber for the last 5 days!
Awesome this why I make videos like these
Great video I gave you a thumbs up because I followed your instructions and I fixed it myself!!!!
Awesome thanks
This was very helpful. I followed your instructions today. Now my showe handle works again. Thank you!
You're welcome
Great job, I have watched a few other videos so far yours was best!! the different camera views helped greatly.
Thank you for the compliment
Thank you for this detailed instruction video. I was able to fix mine within 30 mins at Friday night 11pm. Yes, it's quite difficult to pull the old cartridge out of the pipe, and originally I was not dare to pull using my full strength since I thought I may did something wrong, you words at 4:22 give me the confidence and it worked!
Happy it helped. This cartridge was much easy than others I have removed. Some I've had to break into pieces.
Thank you for this. After 16 years of hard water, mine was a bit more difficult to remove. Your instructions were spot on!
Yeah I just moved and had to replace mine and it took an hour to get mine out. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. Just swapped my out for $63.00 including the puller.
Happy it worked out
Great video, thanks! The "mistake" was valuable for my own diy cartridge replacement. Glad that you included it in your video.
No problem thanks for watching
Your video is more thorough than the others. I appreciate the 3 views as well.
I appreciate that!
Id like to thank you. Your video took the mystery out of this and i was able to do it with ease.
welcome
One note I would definitely add is to make sure you close your drain! Trying to retrieve a clip or screw from down there will make a preacher cuss. This is a great video and I did everything last night with mine Thanks to this video! Thank you
Thanks for the tip
It was taking me 5 months to do this!! Only because I hadnt gotten to it haha.. But one trip to the hardware store and watching your video made it so simple.. Simple enough that it made me wanna do it!! The view, the voice over everything was great!! Thank you so much!!
you're welcome
Dud you're the best. Spot on advice
I appreciate that!
Many thanks for the level of detail in both directions of the removal and replacement thru completion. None of Moen’s video provided guidance of the small plastic removal adapter as your reference to it saved me a delay as that puppy was in there good.
Moen’s videos ignore that handy adapter so that you make a second trip to the hardware store.
The no language ‘play by the illustration’ guide references it but it is out of context.
It’s all good and a hero at the moment...
Thank you
Perfect video. Very well shown step by step. Saved me from calling the plumber and not difficult at all. If you call Moen, they will send you the cartridge for free.
Everyone says that but they gave me a hard time without the receipt
I just had to write you to let you know that you saved me a rather expensive plumber service call to replace a $45 part. Thank you, thank you for this video. I had created quite the situation for myself and this video was INSTRUMENTAL in helping me figure out what I was doing wrong and course correct, accordingly. Thank you!!
You’re welcome thanks for watching
Great vid. Helped me replace my shower cartridge. The special removal tool was a must and worth the $15 cost
Thank you glad it worked out. Yes the tool is great but it doesn’t last long since it’s made of soft metal.
Where did you get the core puller from? Or what is the name that I can find it at Home Depot or Lowe’s?
