Getting the replacment cartridge seated took me 3 or 4 tries. Once cartridge is seated, the red or blue extension should stop turning after quarter turn in either direction.

This is an EXCELLENT How-To video. This is the ONLY video you will need to replace the Moen Faucet Cartridge. Put downward pressure on the Moen Tool when beginning to loosen the retaining ring so you do not strip the notches. As MON points our fitting the cartridge tab (notch) into the brass tube is a bit tricky. Thank you !!!
Thanks for making life easier for the rest of us. Moen should produce videos of the same quality as yours.
The tool for mown 1224 bought in Amazon didn’t work but your method works a perfectly. Thanks!
Loved the long screw and pry bar trick. Some of these can be stubborn to pull!!!
The screw/crowbar/2x4 trick was a lifesaver!!! I used the nail-remover end of a hammer since I don't have a crowbar, and it worked great.
It's a 1x2, but yeah. I like that.
Thanks. This is so much better than the Moen video especially putting the new cartridge in properly.
Thank you for this excellent video! So often RUclips videos don't show the sticking points in a job and don't offer the tricks to overcome them. You shoe them all. Seeing someone make a mistake or have difficulty with something and solve them is golden. The only other problem I had, and you didn't, was getting the faucet handle trim to unscrew because of some lime deposits. I had to loosen the faucet nut below the countertop a little bit to release the trim and retighten the nut in order to avoid damaging the trim. Great video!
Thanks for nice comment. Funny you mentioned having difficulty removing the faucet handle. I had the same problem at another sink. ruclips.net/video/1izCXI6Mctw/видео.html
Best video I have seen so far for this procedure.
Thank you!! This was tricky, but I followed your directions, including the crow bar idea to the T. Perfectly done, sir!
Thank you! This cartridge has been a pain in the butt since July, starting with the cartridge nut being firmly stuck. Then after having removed the cartridge nut by breaking it into bits (yes, we had a replacement from Moen) the damn cartridge wouldn't budge! Your video saved the day! Moen is a great product (guaranteed for life) but I have to say that our particular faucet is very poorly designed.
Thank you for this video. I didn’t know of the notch and was having issues until I watched this video.
One of the best diy videos I have watched!
Great video. For anyone out there needed to replace one, I recommend replacing both while you're at it. If you don't, you'll end up doing it sooner or later anyway and you'll have to relearn the procedure all over again.
Phenomenal way to remove the cartridge. I am struggling to remove a faulty one.
Update: I succeeded in removing the cartridge using the method shown in this video. Before I saw this video I had managed to punch my left eye extremely hard when the needle nose pliers lost grip on the cartridge. Here are the instruments I used:
1. Everbilt 10-24 TPI 3-1/2 in machine screws (gently thread the screw all the way - till you face no resistance)
2. Harbor Freight PITTSBURGH 15 in. Long Reach Locking Pliers
3. Husky screwdriver handle as the the fulcrum
Recently, I could not remove the plastic retainer ring with corrosion and calcium buildup. The plastic retainer ring got shredded in the process of trying to loosen the ring. Because Moen has record that I am the original owner of the faucet, the sent me a new valve body which includes new cartridge and retainer ring. Yours maybe different. www.amazon.com/Moen-100743-Replacement-Part/dp/B000CNGZWC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3JGZHWBQHBBMJ&keywords=moen+100743&qid=1704948932&s=hi&sprefix=moen+100743%2Ctools%2C142&sr=1-1
Thank you for the tip on pulling out the old cartridge, I was stuck at that point...
Thanks so much fantastic video
Have a great day
Definitely will be following this video as soon as the cartridges arrive.
I am replacing my mother-in-law cartridge and it would just spin spin spin thank you for helping me correct that I was in panic mode❤😅
Just an FYI.....Moen has a lifetime warranty. I just recently called their customer service, told them I have a slow drip, gave them my model number and address and bam a week later 2 cartridges arrived at my door at no cost to me.
Moen is awesome I just called for replacement cartridges for tub shower no charge
They really are a great company
Thank you ...I appreciate your very informative video.
Awesome diy video . Thanks for sharing 👍
Bruh, that was a neat trick with the long screw and crowbar. I'm going to have to try that on Monday.
Absolutely brilliant. The screw/crowbar method is far safer than yanking with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Perfect. Mine was even the exact same cartridge.
Thank you for sharing your tips
big help. thanks.
Superb video
Could you just reattach the blue thing to the cartridge with the small screw and pull the blue thing out with pliers?
👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you!
Stick your hand in the drip. If it’s hot then you know it’s the hot. Whichever one failed is the only water going through it when it’s off
when I tried to pull the cartridge out the bottom part broke apart. The lower O ring area had a lot of calcium crusties holding the lower O ring and bottom piece in place. After some side to side prying it came out using needle nose pliers. I put extra plumbers grease on the replacement. A short bit of panic there.
Good job. I too noticed some calcium at the lower O-ring on my project. There is always a little bit of learning with DIY. Next time you will be faster and more confident. My attitude is I will try it myself then call a plumber if needed.
If the faucet is leaking, the quarter turns may need to be replaced. you can check this by turning off water to the faucet, if drip continues then quarter turns are bad
I had a leaky faucet and replaced it similar to this however now when I turn the faucet on or off, I can keep turning if I push hard enough. Not sure what I can tighten to make it not do this. Any thoughts on how I can solve that?
My only guess is that the new cartridge is not fully seated. If you look at your old or new cartridge, you will notice a square tab on both side of cartridge that needs to fall into a match cutout. It took me 3-4 tries before mine into place. It doesn't just fall in.
This is the second Moen product in my house that no normal person could ever figure out how to repair without great effort, and which requires a special Moen tool. I will never, ever buy a Moen product.
The pry bar trick is money!
Followed directions and the leak/drip is gone. But the volume/flow seems to be lower than the other faucet. Has anyone else observed this? And if so, what did you do?
I had read somewhere that the Moen 1224 replacement cartridges are water saving (1.5 gallons of water per minute). Its a possibility your old cartridge was not water saving cartridge.
@@masterofnone7243 Makes sense. Thanks!
I need HELP to identify the Tool used to remove the retaining rim from inside wall. I am unable to pull cartridge :(((
This is the tool I used. Moen 14272 Cartridge Retainer Removal Tool

I changed Both cartridges on a moem faucet for a Jacuzzi tub and still dripping any advise to fix it?
Disclaimer I am not a plumber. I am in the medical field. Maybe try turning off the water on one side to isolate what cartridge is giving you the problem. Its a possibility that one cartridge is not installed properly. Also I am assuming that your old cartridge matched the new cartridge you installed.
thank you
The red or blue piece on mine doesn’t have a screw just looks like a shield of plastics that maybe a screw underneath it. Anyone have that version? I’m afraid to use too much force to just pull it out. Dang I dont think this makes sense … hopefully someone gets it
What do I do if after changing the cartridge still leaks?
Hello. I am not a plumber so I don't have a specific answer. Only thing I can say is make sure the cartridge is fully seated and the black O-rings are not damaged.
@@masterofnone7243
Thanks for the answer
The reason why it was leaking was because I tried to fix the side where the cold water was, I tried the other side and it was fixed
So if it still leaking try the other side but your video was awesome thank you.
For the life of me, I CANNOT find the notch in the sidewall. That little plastic tab that hangs down from one spot on the cartridge should be seating into a depression that is in the plumbing pipe???
You are absolutely correct.
@@masterofnone7243 I had purchased the 1224 cartridges for my tub but it looks like I needed 1248 for "Roman" style tube. Cartridges look almost identical but are slightly different with a larger waterflow opening in the metal body of cartridge. Thanks for your help!
I had trouble getting the small notch into the space. I used a red marker and placed a small dot on the blue extension and a dot on the brass fitting. I was then able to get it to seat into the notch within seconds. Prior to making the marks, I spent 5-10 minutes trying to seat the cartridge.
OOOHHHH SHE SQUIRTS!!!
Hi.
Everything going hood infill I got to the gray circular part!! It wouldn’t come out at all. Yours was so easy. We tried everything to get it out so we can bring out Cartlidge
You had did a lot of work out of view of the camera.
