Moen 1200 One-Handle Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Cartridge Replacement, Brass

Contacted David Powers Limited questioning the quality of the Moed 1200 replacement cartridge. Sara from David Powers Limited responded, All items are purchased in bulk directly from the manufacturer, without retail blister packaging. This is the reason for the tremendously low price and free shipping. I am not sure if the quality of bulk product is different from packaged product, so I cannot speak to that, unfortunately. However, the price of $17.97 is not low. You can purchase a genuine Moen 1200 all brass cartridge on eBay for $14.97 with free shipping. I attempted to install this replacement cartridge and found it had two issues. It was slightly longer so the retainer clip used to retain the cartridge would not fit without forcing it through the slots. In addition, the orifices of the valve are small and only allow a reduced flow of water as compared to the OEM valve. Caution ! ! ! ! Go with the genuine Moen 1200 valve. Its a perfect fit and youll get it at a cheaper price. If it doesnt have Moen stamped on the brass part of the cartridge then its not a Moen cartridge.

I received a genuine Moen cartridge (Moen etched into the metal) and it works perfectly. Tried two other knock-offs first and they both leaked.

This is a perfect fit. I was afraid I was going to have to do some major plumbing being that the original was fairly old. This part fit exact, and the brass and stainless steel work far better than the old one. Very happy customer.

This brass cartridge is superior to the plastic ones I found at Lowes & Home Depot. It has 4 O rings instead of only 2.

Was sent an after market copy. Real Moen have the name engraved. Sent it back

fit perfect, saved hundreds on cost by NOT calling a plummer. turned off water, removed face plates, old circlip, then used vise grip to pull and slightly turn the old valve. and after 2 or 3 minutes of working it, it came out, then used some extra fine steel wool to rub out the inside of the brass housing, greased the new fitting and slid it in, put back the old circlip, [they dont provide a new circlip] tested the valve for leaks [was none] and reinstalled all the face plates and fitting and handle.. works super smoothly... less than a third of what lowes and home depot want for the same 1200 moen valve.. and a VERY SMALL fraction of what a plummer would gouge you for.. just wow

installed in bathtub by a 77 year old plumber. always liked the moen products

Perfect fit - we have 4 faucets that use these. If youre a DIY person you need a cartridge removal tool. Makes the job simple, less than 6 minutes.

OEM product works great in my old Moen tub/shower valves.

fits perfectly, works flawlessly, very good price
