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

Had a hard time removing the 20 year old cartridges. Hunks of rubber remained in the neck even after flushing it out. Had a hard time until I took it back apart and looked down the neck with a flashlight and found more chunks of rubber. Fished them out and it work as intended. Whatever you do make sure the neck is spotless.

Before I installed it, I thought it would be difficult, because of the videos, that emphasize possible problems removing the old part. I encountered no problems removing the old part or installing the new. I like the design. It seems simple and robust.

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.

The item fit and was the same size. The item was not the same as original equipment. It had much less rubber and designed differently. Poorly made. The handle was loose and felt cheap and moved all over loosely after the install. I double checked the model of the faucet and replacement part numbers. It still leaked just in a different position than before. Since it had been installed I did not return. Just wasted $25.00. I pitched it. Bought a new faucet. I do not recommend buying this part.

If you are the original owner and can show receipts, Moen will send one free of charge. Otherwise, this is a good deal on an original Moen part. These brass cartridges work much better for me than the plastic ones commonly found in the big box stores.

This is just what I needed to replace the old shower unit which was leaking. The brass is solid and seems like it will last better than the plastic ones I have seen in stores. I works perfectly after I replaced the old one.

The unit advertised was MOEN brand (original brand) but the one they sent me was generic-- no maker name on package, unit, nor instructions. Seller offered to accept the unit for return, but I said no. Seems to work when first installed. We shall see. LATER: Well, its been in use a few weeks and its getting hard to operate. If you buy one, make sure to get a genuine MOEN brand unit. Mine is not MOEN, and I regret it.

My Moen 1200 shower control valve started leaking after twenty-one years in use. After trying to locate a replacement cartridge locally failed I found the original item on Amazon and purchased it. The item arrived in good condition and on time. I replaced the old cartridge with the new one without problems and it works like a charm. I am thankful that I was able to source the part through Amazon since the alternative was to change out the entire shower valve at great cost and inconvenience. The project was a DIY. The only reason that I did not give a rating of five stars is because the replacement cartridge did not include the retainer clip. Fortunately for me the old retainer clip was not damaged when I removed the worn out cartridge.

The packaging should be easier to open. Reduce the amount of points melted and make the back side longer by 1/8 inch that way a man with gloves on can run their thumb over the top to separate the back from the top packaging and they can then grip the back and open the package without spilling the contents out. Small thing to make an excellent product even better.

fits perfectly, works flawlessly, very good price
