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

Made my old faucet like new again. Great replacement part.

I installed this into a Moen Chateau 7500 old sink faucet. It works great. (Note: the last time I needed to replace the cartridge I tried the Moen model 1225 which is made of plastic. When I tried to remove the old 1225, it broke leaving the bottom rubber parts and plastic piece in the faucet. I was able to remove the rubber pieces with some extended needle nose pliers and the bottom plastic piece with an extra wide and flat, flat tipped screwdriver that kind of wedged into the plastic piece allowing me to pull it out.) I believe these new all brass versions do not have the lead problem that the original all brass versions had. And most important they wont break when being pulled out for replacement.

Installed and leak is gone! The older ones have more plastic parts and this onr more metal. Should last longer and was easyto install

Great Moen quality. Sale price was less than my plumber friend could get it for!

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

These cartridges are great but the stem does need lubrication from time to time in order to work easily. Did have to replace the original after 30+ years. Good price at Amazon.

good

Works great and fits just as described.

The package containing cartridge had been opened. The plastic cap to ease installation as shown on the directions was missing. Also the retaining clip was missing. Contacted Moen and the only response I received was a call back for next week. Will upgrade rating after installing cartridge. UPDATE. Contacted Moen and they sent out the missing part. Would recommend they add to the product description that the retaining clip is not included. Had to purchase locally. Cartridge installed just fine and is working great.

Good product
