1225 Collection One Handle Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Cartridge Replacement Kit, or Unfinished, 1 Pack

Rien à signaler

Works great, easy install

I had an old Moen 12801 shower cartridge and did some research with ChatGPT to see if this would fit and it said yes. I purchased and installed it very easily and my leak stopped. Thank you! This comes with the little white square adapter to turn or loosen your old cartridge out. This does not come with a locking pin. I reused my old one. I had to cut the legs a little shorter to fit.

My shower cartridge was from 1977!! Original to the house being built. I am the second owner. The cartridge became very difficult to pull in and out, and turning was okay but required a good grip. It got to the point though, that pushing it in to turn it off didn't turn it all the way off. Unless you put some body weight into pushing it in. Being that I had no idea what cartridge I needed, I wrote to Moen and ask them. This was the cartridge they recommended for my situation. I'm a 63 year old lady , and I've never replaced a cartridge before, so I read a lot of reviews and watched YouTube videos. I bought a cartridge puller tool, which I'm glad I did!! Excellent advice from those that advised it. Following the directions of YouTube videos, I was able to remove and install the new cartridge very easily. I was concerned that it wasn't going to work because the cartridge I purchased was completely different than the cartridge I pulled out!! Not even similar! So when I got everything put back together and turned the water back on, I had a little bit of trepidation that water was going to come blasting out because it was the wrong cartridge. LOl!! I even pulled the shower curtain closed, just in case!! However that didn't happen, and the cartridge worked flawlessly. As a matter of fact it works so smoothly that it's almost completely effortless. Such a wonderful change!! I will add, that I did lubricate the cartridge (per video advice) with silicone meant for swimming pool equipment and gaskets. And I'm sure that that helped make it operate more smoothly. Now you may be wondering why I said "But" in the title. Well, the cartridge I received is not the cartridge pictured for this item. The only picture that looks like the one I received is if you scroll down through all of the information and you see the Moen box with the cartridge in it, and the cartridge is actually transparent. That's the one I received! I did not see Moen stamped on it, and I actually looked! So that's why I said "But". I did not receive the cartridge that is shown in the picture at the top of this item. I really think that the picture should be changed to accurately represent what the buyers are going to receive.
