So the answer is it’s a 1222B. Hardware store locally has replacements and gave me it happily.

Hello jonhunt5408, Great to hear everything went well for you! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 Thank you for the video. It helped me decide to tackle the leaky faucet cartridge. Even though I was not able to break mine free via twisting, I was able to run a drill bit through each tab top and bottom and then pull out the pieces. These videos provide some insight into what you’re looking at.

@jonhunt5408 You're welcome! Congrats on the repair! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello lilmotown8109, You're welcome! That's great to hear! And yes...I hope this helped! LOL! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello Fireinahorn, That is correct. The 1225 is the cartridge that you pull out to turn on the water. Not sure if you see it in the video, but the 1222 is wider and you turn it to allow the water to flow. The 1222 is used for the newer model bath and shower faucets only. It is for the posi-temp faucet where the water temperature stays the same if someone turns on another faucet. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello happyhoildays2010, Hopefully everything goes well there! I know they can be used underground according to the manufacturer. They are a great product. I was a little hesitant when I first used one, but did a number of tests and they hold up very well. Biggest thing I found was making sure the pipe went in the proper distance. I mark all the pipe just to be now. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello clydegrady1007, The 1225 cartridge is used for both sink and bath/shower faucets. It pulls out to allow the water to flow and turns to the right for cold and left for hot. If you have a Moen kitchen sink or basin faucet then the 1225 is what is needed. The 1222 cartridge is only used for bath/shower faucets, but it cannot be pulled out. You simply turn the handle counterclockwise to go from cold to hot water. It is only used in posi-temp faucets which keeps the water temperature constant. The two cartridges cannot be interchanged. Moen first came out with the 1225 bath/shower faucet all that was used was the 1225. The 1222 posi-temp allowed a person to get a shower and have a constant temperature even if another faucet was being used at the same time. This was many years later. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 Thank you for the details... whoa... but that is not what I meant. I thought there may be a way to just look at the 1225 and know which side was hot/cold. I guess we just have to install and test... if wrong, rotate the cartridge

@@clydegrady1007 Sorry I got a little off track on that. Missed your drift all together. Unfortunately there is no way to tell when you are installing the cartridge. If you install the cartridge and the cold is on the left it is just a matter of rotating the canter brass stem 180 degrees. You only have to remove the handle, the chrome sleeve and take a pair of pliers and give the center stem the 180. Again...my apologize on the previous ramble. Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the repair! Al

Hello candisellis185, So much depends on water quality when it comes to making the repair. The handle removal is probably the hardest part of it. If you can shut your water off and turn the handle upside down a drop or tow of penetrating oil allowed to sit for a few hours may allow you to take the set screw out. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 it did help! I finally managed to get the screw out, but I still can't pull the handle off.

Hello fatfree4me856, You're more than welcome! I am glad everything went well for you!!! Congrats on the repair! Thanks so much for the kind words and enjoy your week! Al

Hello cfrygirl, You're more than welcome! Glad to hear everything worked out for you and congrats on the repair! Nice to have an extra few hands around to help out at times like this! Way to go Mom! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Thank you! You would’ve laughed because as I was plunging it some nasty stuff flew out into our faces! I’ve teased my son about it since haha you saved me big time I’ve shared this video to everyone I know ❤️

Hello hawks1ish, It can be any of a number of things so I don't think five minutes will do it any justice. You can try to diagnose the problem in a short time, but if the coil is the problem then it is a fairly big job. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello joelronningen9930, You're more than welcome! It definitely helps to align the cartridge when putting it in place and removing it by twisting it back and forth depending before trying to pull it out. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello heHyena-ru8bz, You're welcome! I am glad everything worked out! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello user-mk4ut4zp7n, Did the pipe have a male adaptor on it when you took it out of the wall. My apology for a late response.

Hello geefim2144, The faucet you have is the older style and uses the 1225 cartridge which you pull and push to operate. When you turn on the water elsewhere while in the shower the temperature probably changes as well. The newer model uses a 1222 cartridge and turns counterclockwise to open and adjust the temp. It also was designed so that the temperature remains constant no matter how many faucets are running elsewhere. In order to have the 1222 cartridge with the posi-temp you would have to change out the faucet unfortunately. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello shivraj67, Kindred strainers are great as far as I am concerned. I do like the 1135 better only because it's all plastic. I have never had an issue with them. I really like the design of the underside gasket as well and how it pulls up to bottom of the sink with the center nut. Only problem is it can be a little long for some applications and you sometimes have to either cut the tailpiece or go with a shorter strainer. I don't mind the 1140 either, but I prefer the 35. The 1135 has less parts and very easy to install. One thing I have found over the past 45 years at this trade is you only get what you pay for. You have probably come across strainers that have had white metal nuts on the tailpieces and the strainer itself rusting out. You have no worries with the 1135, no matter what kind of water goes down it. I know the 1140 should last as long as the 35. The jury is still out on that I believe. As long as the stainless quality is there, there shouldn't be an issue for years...if not decades. I have noticed a few items that I have installed that were supposedly stainless steel and rust forming on them shortly after. And these are reputable manufacturers that I have been using for quite some time. Not sure what is taking place, but I am going to drop them a message and pass this along. Like everything I guess they are trying to save a few dollars, but giving up quality at the same time. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello JuliusWebster-op3rq, I guess everyone has there own method. A lot depends on how deep they go. This is a great way if children have one as they can sometimes be scared of anyone going near them. A bandaid always makes things better in the eyes of a child. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello TheHappyDIYGuy-ri8nb, Let's put it this way. I would rather have my plumbing fixtures working than not. You are suppose to get your septic tank cleaned out every five years....standard practice. I live outside the city where there are hundreds (more like thousands) of septic tanks and not a single soul is ever worried about hair going into their tank. If the drain does not plug and runs continuously with no issues the hair goes down the drain anyway. The cost of getting the tank pumped is around $350 Canadian. I worry more about grease going down a kitchen drain than hair. Believe me I have been at this for over for decades and grease can be a nightmare as you probably know. Thanks for commenting and have a great week! Al

Hello A3FunFam, You're welcome! I am glad everything worked out for you! And congrats on the repair! It works on almost all tub drains. Same procedure can be applied to a bathroom basin. Plug the overflow and use the plunger on the drain. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello daveheiskala7007, You're welcome! Glad to hear the video helped! We all have those moments. As I get older I seem to have more of them! LOL! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello catforker, You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it helps with any future repairs! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello imjimimack, When I made my videos I put annotations on all of them from start to finish using youtubes set up. The first one was always turn the water off before working on any faucet or waterline. A few years ago youtube removed all annotations on all videos. Any you see on videos on youtube now are put on using editing software. Many people I would assume do not know how to or know that it is necessary to turn off the water. I get that question from time to time. I am going to go through all my videos in the near future and add this as the top comment which will stay in place. I appreciate your comment and enjoy your week! Al

Hello kbkb6569, These fittings can be found at most hardware stores. Very popular now! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 Found them! Thank you!!!!

Hello anthonydf2003, I have used this methods hundreds of times over the past four decades with great success. Biggest thing when using a plunger on a drain is to make sure the overflow is sealed off. This same method works on bathroom sinks as well. I generally use an old cloth and plug the over flow while I use the plunger on the drain. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello thesteveshowfoodfestroadtest, I am glad to hear the video helped you out! A little teflon goes a long way. I always add a little to the seats of faucets before I install them. Congrats on the repair! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello 2bnax, Sorry, I can't give you the answer for that. I strictly stick to the plumbing end of things. Hvac is its own trade. Thanks for commenting and best of luck with your install! Al

Hello wmharris9084, You can also call their 1-800 number if your faucet has been installed in the past five years they will mail it at no cost. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello wmharris9084, Removing the cartridge can be difficult at times and it really depends on water quality. I have had some that are removed easily and others that are a struggle. Sorry you had trouble with yours! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello maniacmike56, You're welcome! That's good to know. I appreciate the update! Hopefully the job goes well and the springs and rubber inserts work for you! Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the repair! Al

@@TheOldkid888 Well, it did'nt go well. Stripped the Allen key screw. I took my time and pepared. I put CLR and got it clean, then some penetrating fluid for an hour. I got the screw to move a couple of times, but the top is stripped now. handle is a little bit loose, but oh well.
