Hey man-you saved my Sunday morning!
I woke up to find my baby's diaper was... well... let's say it was "overcapacity." Had to drop him in the bath at 7:30am to scrub him up. Just as soon as I do, the faucet won't turn off! I knew the cartridge was on its way out, but I didn't think I'd be reckoning with replacing it before Home Depot even opened.
Your video made sense, even to a guy who hadn't been able to make coffee before having to shut off the house's water supply. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks so much Brian, I am glad the baby was addressed as well as your basic plumbing fixture needs. Great job on fixing it yourself, and I appreciate your support.
I was having a problem installing a new valve, “this Guy” comments on turning the valve to the open (on) position saved the day. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Glad this was helpful.
What does opening the valve do?
Worked like a charm and now the handle Moves freely and easily. Thanks!
Glad to help out Dave.
That "oil" is silicone grease actually, but no matter, excellent tutorial, thank you. A tip for everyone: put the bathtub plug in before you start, that way any dropped screw etc. won't find their way down the drain. I made a puller from the appropriate sized spark plug socket and some washers for spacers and a bolt with matching threads for the tap. Worked well.
Thanks for the tip Richard! Also, I appreciate the support.
I was going to call a plumber as my shower faucet got loose and wouldn't shut off but then I saw your video and it helped me fix it myself. Thanks Sir.!
Chalk up another win for DIY!
Thanks for the tutorial. Just ordered from Amazon for $20 with same day delivery 👍
Very much appreciated your video - thank you! I'll be needing to replace mine tomorrow after I can run to Home Depot and get a replacement cartridge.
Thanks for the video. The last time I had a constant trip I called a plumber and paid $350., And the guy didn't even have a cartridge puller and had to borrow one of my wrenches. It was in really tight this time, so I bought a cartridge puller for $14 and it came out with no effort. The instructions that came with the cartridge were horrible because it was all pictures and not words. I could not have accomplished the job without your help. I had an issue putting the now back on, such that it just spun and had no "hard stop", but it turned out there were two plastic pieces that fit into each other and I did not have them aligned properly. It did have to do two trips to the hardware store and it took me almost all day, it felt good to have done it myself. Every time I call a contractor, I always feel like I am getting clipped.
I liked your comic video inserts (especially since I live here near Scranton and "The Office" put us on the map). BTW, unlike you, I did not make it through the job with no bad words.
LOL, sometimes bad words help with the hardest parts. It's a proven fact that yelling cuss words when you hurt yourself is proven to relieve pain. I'm glad this was helpful and saved you a tremendous amount of money!
I did exactly this today. My old 1222 cartridge was frozen in place by calcium deposits. It broke when pulling out. Ended up chiseling out all debris. New cartridge slid right in and works perfectly. Thanks for the video.
Glad to help out. And kudos for pulling out the one that broke apart.
Great video. Very helpful to me, and enjoyed all the humor.
Well done!
Thank for supporting.
the white plastic piece that you said you didn't need is to slip on to the old cartridge and turn it back and forth with a pair of channel locks which loosens the cartridge to make it easier to remove
Thanks Mike.
Thanks for your step by step instructions. I have to wait for a plumber to do mine. I have no idea where the main water valve is even located in my apartment haha
Ooh, yikes. finding the correct water shut off can be interesting in an apartment. They should be somehow labeled. Perhaps the plumber can let you know where it is so you can handle other repairs next time. Good luck.
It worked EXACTLY as you explained it. Thanks brother.
So glad to help out!!
Moen will replace those free of charge.I didn't know until my plumber told me. Good video. Thanks!
Thanks Charles. A handful of viewers have also shared that tip. I have been sharing that info in the comments. Appreciate the support.
Thanks to you, I'm going to replace the cartridge myself. Great video!
Glad I could help!
We hardly use this shower in this building and it the temps on there get to about 100 degrees in the summer. Everything gets cooked including the cartridges. Thanks for the video!
Good to know! I am sure heat may wear down the soft parts of these cartridges. I am glad this was helpful.
Thing to know about Moen is they're lifetime fixtures. They would have probably sent one to you for free if you'd have requested through they're website. It's worth a try anyway, but they did for me due to only hot water coming out.
Thanks Erin, Someone else on the comments thread successfully got a replacement for free by simply making a call. I will definitely go that route when my next one fails.
yup, lived in my house for 10 years and the kitchen faucet needed a replacement something or other, Moen sent it no probs for free
Moen is very easy to deal with. My uncle is a plumber and he told me to just call and tell them what was wrong. They sent me the part I needed for free and I am installing it now with the help of your video. Thanks!
Erin Burns Dang. Just saw this. Oh well. $41 at Lowes and a good learning experience.
Yes they do as others have noted. I have a file with receipts of all fixtures that I get out because I have done this with Moen and a few other companies. It's a great feeling when stuff really works like this.
Thanks! Your video really helped me out! Was trying to remove it and it was really stuck…..was going to call a plumber when I found your video…..you just saved me a plumber call….and the cartridge was free….homedepot said it is under warranty!
Thats fantastic. Glad this was helpful.
GREAT JOP YOU ARE DOING THIS GUY, not trying to be a wise guy, but I learned the HARD WAY!!!
1) if you take 1222 to home depot they will give a new one FREE. or call MOENthey will mail you on free FREE
2) the white plastic is to turn the cartridge to brack lose before pulling, save not to buy the special tool
3) the small bag is not glued it a grease/lubricant
4) DO NOT PUSH ON METAL PART, use the white plastic to push the body of the 1222(b)
Thanks!
Needed to know that before. I pushed in on shaft and it moved back so I pulled it back out. Will that be a problem? The video I watched pushed it in like that
@@bogus696996 Do not push on the shaft, you may push it out of the cartridge, but if you apply the silicon and clean the inside it will go through easily, push on the body it will stop on the white-winged is a stopper, then your cartridge is in.
Hope I helped
@@alaal-badran7401 Thanks for your help.
@@bogus696996 if moved around 1/2"-3/4" pull back while holding the shaft then pish from the stoppers taps.
if more pull out be sure no rubber or parts fall and apply the silicon to the outer rubber and insert back
Thanks for posting this. It saved my bacon repairing our shower handle.
As long as you own a home, old or new, there is always going to be something that needs to be fixed.
Story of our lives
Thank you so much, you saved my day
Glad to hear this was helpful.
My man! This video saved me!! I thought I was going to be taking off tile. The cartridge on our old valve broke off, but I was able to get enough of a grip on the remaining shank to turn it to "on" position and yank it out. Thank you.
Glad this was helpful Reggie.
Awesome video thank you so much..I will be replacing mine once I get the new part
Let us know how it goes.
Getting ready to do this exact project now. Thanks for the video. I wouldn't have turned the valve to on and would've just started pulling after I popped the clip out. Haha!
Very helpful vid, The Guy. Hope to view more of your content in the future
More to come! Thanks XizBit42
The small white plastic piece that comes with the cartridge - on the shaft is used to help remove it.
Not overly effective but sometimes helps. Shown on the instructions
Thanks George.
That part is now about 50 + bucks. Thanks. I'm an older woman but I can do this after watching your video.
Glad I could help. Do note that many viewers have had success getting a replacement from Moen for free. They just called them and got it that way. Perhaps you can save the $50. 1-800-BUY-MOEN.
@@ThisGuyProductions thanks. I did that. The parts on the way.
I like This Guy.
Thanks Addyfresh1
Thanks , good information as the low quality Moen faucets leak after 5 years ... I'll follow those tips and replace my leaky Moen shower unit .
Good luck Wild Bill.
Hi. Liked the easy to understand instructions. I see at around 4:18 min. you mention turning the pipe to 180 degrees. When you get to 7:16 min. a little bit of love push I didn't hear you mention turning that piece back to original position. So do we or not. I'm going to try replacing mine this weekend.
As long as the hot and cold indicators stamped into the cartridge are on top, it really doesnt matter the position of the handle when you reinstall.
@@ThisGuyProductions , Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate your time.
Thanks for this video, lots of help
Great video mine came out in pieces I could not turn it on like you said too. But I did replace it though who sells them retainer clips? Mine broke as I removed it? Thank you great job 👍
Glad it helped. You can call Moen. They will provide those parts for free.
Great job. I learned a lot. God bless us always.
Thanks!
Thank you for posting this. I did it myself.
Glad it worked out well.

Just replaced one yesterday. Used a screw/washer on the center piece, and a 2x4 and crowbar to pull the cartridge out. Hardest part was shutting the water off, because the valve by the meter was sticking.
Thats a clever solution to pull the old cartridge. I may need to try that next time! thanks for sharing
Extra sleeve is to help loosen the old cartridge
Thanks.
7:44 time to harvest those crops😉
Wtf was that?
a birthmark
That “extra sleeve” that you didn’t use is actually the tool they give you to help remove the old cartridge.
A little scotch Brite to clean the inside where the cartridge goes always helps and then wipe out the residual dust, by the way the cartridge is free from moen
This Guy, you are hilarious. Loved your Video and have done this change out many times over the years.
I watched you to make sure I’m getting the correct part.
1 recommendation I have for the viewers is to spend more and by the all Brass, replacement cartridge, because it will last for many, many years, verses the Plastic junky ones, I’ve had to replace yearly with the hard water we have.
One more suggestion is to purchase a Silicon spray, to stave off buying cartridges, as you can spray that into the cartridge and rotate the parts to free everything up for a year, wash, rinse & repeat.
I use the silicon spray on the new inserts as well in place of what they give you, but I will add silicon grease to the rubber o-ring & rubber outer parts to keep the insertion and removal as easy as possible without damaging the seals for reuse.
I have 1 last tip if you do not want to pay for replacement parts. Buy Price Pfister brand Faucets, because they come with a lifetime part replacement warranty & now instead of trying to find your old part, you simply take a picture and send it to them for no hassle replacement parts that come shipped free in about 7 days. For an extra $100 or so at purchase time, it’s really worth it. I just replaced my downstairs sink Hot & Cold cartridges and Handles due to stuck screws & on a separate order I replaced my Kitchen Sink Faucet Hot Water Cartridge and Handle. *The handle issue was partially my fault because I wasn’t using a metric Allen Key to unscrew the locking screw on the handle and stripped it out. Luckily, the new handles came with the correct Allen keys.
Thanks for your feedback and your suggestion. This is good stuff.
My Moen shower faucet would have lated for years I guess except for one plastic part inside, an anomaly, a small disk that you set to regulate the temperature, chipped. It has a cut out portion (like from 12 o'clock to 6 if I recall correctly) and depending on how you place it, it sets the parameters for the temperature. Suddenly only cold water was coming out, so I got a new valve from the company under the warranty. When It was replaced I saw this damaged plastic part. It's nothing I could have broken because it's inside there.
You might want to mention the set screw that must be removed from the underside of the handle. It is an Allen wrench. I don’t have the particular size.
Thanks Robert, it is a good call out. My initial intention was for someone to already be past that step, look at the valve sticking out, then do a google search. I buy my allen wrenches in a large flip out bundle so that they stay together and easy to locate.
Thank you
Looks like you've either got hard water (rust on the valve) or dirt in the supply line from when your neighborhood was built in. I bet you'll have more valves to replace as well as possibly the regulator that reduces your water pressure down to residential service pressure.
Now that you mention it, my regulator is having a hard time. We noticed recently a reduction in water pressure when more than one source is running. I am dreading replacing that.
I moved into a new construction home four years ago. It has the Moen Posi-Temp showers installed and since Its just me and my wife, only the master bath shower ever gets used. Last year the shower head started leaking so I replaced the cartridge. I'm not a handy guy and it took me a long while to figure out the cartridge had been installed wrong (I can't remember the issue). I know this because the shower handle was always tough to turn prior to replacing the cartridge but after replacing it, i could turn it with one finger. Looking at the other three showers in the house, they are also hard to turn which tells me they are also installed incorrectly. While they work fine, is it advisable to go back in and install the cartridges correctly? If yes, is it OK to reinstall the same cartridges or should I get new ones?
I would replace them if you plan to use them. If not, you can sit on them until you decide to sell the home. If you call Moen, they will give you the cartridges for free. The fixtures have a lifetime warranty. This will save you the $40 per shower.
@@ThisGuyProductions I had no idea they would send replacement cartridges for free, thanks for the tip!
@@shobuddy Glad to help, good luck on the repair.
omg ahahaha the "hot steamy water in the bowl" comment! Im DEAAAAD
It was amazing. Opens up the pores.
Content starts @ 3:43
Thanks.
and no cussing....... great work.
Thank you
That's because he didn't have to fight with it to get it out.
@@barbarazylema3584 I did have to fight with it some.
When replaced mine, my wife came home and thought a Scorcese film was on TV.
I have the same DR horton bathroom as you lol. Same tiles. Anyone know what color grout the tiles use? I need to regrout and caulk.
Moen will send you a new cartridge as part of their warranty...as long as you are the original owner of the house and can provide proof of purchasing. I scanned all my receipts and save them in the computer, I may need them in the future. If you can't scan, then a photo of it...that will do.... [ yes, I read the warranty fine print]
Thanks, I have heard that a few times now. Unfortunately, with a new construction, I have no receipts.
@@ThisGuyProductions Actually, you'll still probably get it, because is their brand, no one else makes it, thus it was purchased through a Moen distributor...by all means, try it...
Doroteo Arango Aramburo it’s free as long as you are the original owner of your home. My house is 15 years old and just got mine from Moen
i did this today, i had to buy the tool, i thought i was going to rip pipes out of the wall i was pulling so hard. its $15 at lowes, trust me, you want to have it
Thanks for the tip.
I McGivered a tool using the correct sized spark plug socket, a long bolt thread matched to the tap screw, and some washers for spacers. Worked well, cost me nothing except for the bolt.
Moen positemp cartridges are guaranteed for life and FREE from Moen. Just call customer service.
big help, thanks
Glad it helped
So what if the stem is broken off and I can't turn it to the on position?
Couple things you missed. First I just called Moen and there sending me 2 free cartridges. All Moen parts are lifetime guaranty. Last thing Is. once you had cartridge out you should inspect housing with flash light. Make sure no debris is in there.
Good call outs MR57LV. A handful of other viewers have passed along the same advice about free cartridges. Also, good idea to look for debris.
Thank you for an excellent video. With difficulty I replaced the cartridge. However the HOT and COLD are reversed even though HC is right side up.. When I turn the handle right I get HOT water. Any suggestions to correct this issue. Thank you
Update: Got this sorted out. Contrary to what Moen said I flipped the cartridge upside down and that fixed the reversal.
Glad it helped. I was going to suggest flipping it as well. It sounds like your installer had to put it in upside down because whoever plumbed the shower mixed the lines.
👍🏻good job thank you ✌🏻
Glad to help.
Thanks👍🤪
Glad to help.
Congratulations on your handy work. I paid a plumber to replace a Moen 130151 Thermostatic valve (the kind with the button) but I don't know how to use it. I've never known. Guess I will call them up? I don't know what's up or down on the markings, and the button gets pushed (to make it hotter?) then pops back when you reverse the handle. Do you know how to read the markings, and how it works? Honestly, I don't know which way is hot or cold. Thanks
Hey Georgette, What did you eventually find out? Sorry, I am not familiar with this type of valve.
@@ThisGuyProductions
Thank you This Guy! A person did answer and I think she was correct. It was a big help, and I jotted down her directions and took them into the shower with me. Let me say first off that going to u-tube for answers is great 'cause folks are out there who will really help. A while back Amazon upgraded the Kindle(book reading machine) and before I knew it, the interface had changed and the "go back" button vanished. Literally said "go back" very straight forward. While I was able to figure out the new streamlined look and functions, not being able to simply "go back" was crazy. I wasn't alone. I read several posts of complaints till finally someone explained how to use the "X" that works in sort of the same way, just not so straight forward.Back to the faucet; In this case, one would think that Moen would at least have directions on this feature. When it's pictured one sees a button, although if you didn't;t know it was a button it may just look like a little circle design. The faucet is called "temperature regulating" and this button is something some engineer thought of because uncomplicated isn't good enough. Here's the scoop: Turn it on from cold (12 o'clock) to hot all the way (6 o'clock) Then, if you want it even hotter, push in the button and reverse direction counter clockwise. That's right, you turn it like you are shutting it off, but if the button is pushed in that makes it hotter. When you turn it off-or close to off-the button pops out and it is supposed to go back to the original cold to hot. There you have it, except that the button sometimes won't push, it's hard to tell if it's actually pushed, and my husband doesn't believe that works at all. At this point, it's set to set it to suit all tastes. I think(but am not sure) that the setting it stays on is with the button pushed in, and the handle pushed back to about 4 o'clock. That makes it a bit hotter than the normal setting. But, as I say, that's just a guess because it's not odvious if the button is pushed in and I'm just letting well enough alone for now. I vaguely recall that when I got it I heard (or was told) that it was like this so if one than more people use it they can customize it. I guess that means that if the hottest isn't hot enough, this is a way to do it without turning up the water heater? Or, I guess one could open it up and actually adjust that little plastic part in there to change the temperature range at the source, which I'm sure you know about that. I think that's a standard thing on faucets. Thanks again for helping folks.
@@georgetteconstant9050 Thanks Georgette. I am going to research these as I have never heard of these types of faucets. Do they have an external power source to heat up the water?
@@ThisGuyProductions No, I think it's something or a setting in the value that overrides the temperature stop. Does the little plastic thing look like a disk with the area from say three to twelve (like a clock) cut out. So it doesn't have any external heating source, just lets you up the temp setting temporally. It's called a Thermostatic value. I finally learned that the handle all the way down (6) is cold, and up towards noon is hotter. The value lets you go further than that for hotter water, and then pops back out to normal setting if you reverse. I never use that feature, my usual setting is fine. Keep up the helpful handiwork and thanks.
@@georgetteconstant9050 Very interesting, thanks again Georgette.
Do you shut off the hot water as well from the water heater ? Or just the main cold water ?
Just the water main. Turn it off then open the cold water somewhere else in your house. Preferably another tub or shower. This will purge the pressure from your pipes. Then you are all set. The water heater isn't pressurized without the main on so you are all set.
I see they did not cut the tile around the 5-1/2 inch plaster guard since the hole is square.
I am constantly finding surprises in my home when I open or uncover things. There have been lots of cut corners to save costs. I also did buy my home at the peak of the recession.
Moen has a lifetime warranty on their cartridges, just call and tell them you need a new one. I just got mine today and am installing it now.
Thanks Tommy. I have also noted that in the video description. So much better than paying for it.
How do I know if it's on the "on position"??
If you turn handle to the on position prior to removing it you are in good shape. TBH, I dont think it actually matters.
Water came out of the pipe. Maybe I didn’t have it turned off all the way from the house. I put the oil on the cartridge and reassembled everything and it works great now. In the video no water came out of the pipe. Should I be worried?
If it continues to leak, yes you should be worried, but if it came out just immediately after removal of the cartridge only, you are fine. It just means there was water still charged in the line.
Would a faulty cartridge be the reasons the shower doesn’t get hot sometimes? Like you never know when the hot will work in the shower. I’ve never had that problem with any other faucets in the house. No other faucets are affected. The sinks in the same bathroom still get hot when the shower doesn’t. Help :(
Hi Cassandra, yes, the cartridge is responsible for mixing hot and cold water. It sounds like yours has failed or is failing.
Hi, I replaced the cartridge.,I get hot and warm water. I do not get just cold water. I have tried another cartridge with the same problem. Do you know how to fix this issue? Thanks
Hey Frank, the entire faucet may be defective.
What was the model number in the cartridge
Would a 1222 work vs a 1222B?
Did some research for you. Both are exactly the same except for the packaging.
Got my 1222 cartridge for free at Lowe’s.
Free is always best.
All great information BUT what nothing tells me is how to un-fuse parts when they’ve corroded together. Metal to metal and even metal to nylon.
Hey Dave. Not gonna lie because that is when I’d probably all a plumber. They may need to cut out the bad parts to replace. Let me know where you end up.
So I replaced with this cartridge. Before I did so I had excellent pressure cold or hot. Now my cold is great but when I turn handle to hot, the pressure greatly reduces. Any idea what I may have done wrong?
Oh no! Did you install it upside down by any chance? I know that sounds odd to ask. I had a similar viewer with an issue because it was flipped.
@@ThisGuyProductions. No. I do get hot water as did before. Just loss of pressure.
that part is a lift time warrentee from moen just call them and explain issues and they will send you one out no charge
Thanks Luis, a few viewers have left similar comments. A few have reported success with this tip as well. Appreciate you.
So when I removed my old cartridge I noticed that only one side had the black piece while the other was missing.
Could this cause a leak inside the wall by chance?
Asking cause this one is on the 2nd floor and I noticed a small stain on the first floor ceiling directly under where the shower is at.
Just trying to determine if that was the problem for the small leak or maybe my shower floor is just leaking.
Anyone help is greatly appreciated.
You definitely have a leak somewhere but its hard to diagnose the cartridge as the culprit without seeing it. You should have noticed water around the exterior of the cartridge if it was to blame. If you live in an area with hard water you would also potentially see scale buildup confirming it. Did your house experience a hard freeze before the issue? If so, it could be a water leak around joints. Hopefully you wont need to remove sheetrock to find the issue. Let us know the outcome.
Without exception nobody shows the old valve removed in one cut of the video, why?
Old houses were built better & all homes need maintenance
I can't get the pin in. Help!!!
Are you sure the cartridge is fully seated? It shouldnt be too hard to put in if so.
If you call moen they send it free remember the moen for life guarantee...just fir ur info they sent mine at no cost.
Mind Blown!!! I had no idea. I need to remember that. I have two more showers in my house with that exact part.
This is true. Just got off the phone with Moen and they are sending me another one. This is the second one I have gotten for the shower in 27 years. Great company. Call support.@@ThisGuyProductions
@@cliffsalisbury7714 Thats epic! Good to know cause I have another going out.
I’m watching your video in June 2021, I’m hoping you see my question ... my husband and I have watched a few videos, including yours, and of course they’re all pretty much the same. We’ve managed all of the steps without much difficulty until we get to replacing the “retainer clip” that holds the cartridge in place. We get it 90% of the way in but can’t get that last little bit so it’s flush with the cartridge. Any suggestions ?
Can you confirm there isnt a small gap between the cartridge plastic and the cartridge housing? It sounds like it's either not flush, or perhaps installed upside down?
@@ThisGuyProductions I don’t think the cartridge is upside down, because the H and C are where I believe they belong (up top). Couldn’t post a picture. Oddly enough, I bent a paper clip into a u shape and was able to pass it thru the top and into the slots. The clip is either thicker, or may have bent when my husband was trying to get it in. I’ve ordered a new clip and I’m hoping it will drop into place. Thank you for replying !
@@carrie5260 Keep me posted. The clip may have bent, or perhaps it was the wrong clip? Was the package tampered with?
@@ThisGuyProductions the clip that wouldn’t fit was the original ... but my husband wasn’t exactly gentle getting it out or trying to get it back in. I ordered a replacement from Amazon and it’s coming tomorrow. I can see the slot that the lower ends are supposed to slide into. The paper clip that I bent slid in without trouble ... I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks again for the reply. BTW, your video was fantastic ! It definitely gave me the confidence to try the repair ourselves.
@@carrie5260 Glad to hear there is a resolution on the way. I hope that isnt your only shower right now.
I need help with my installation moen. The water doesn't coming out, already buy it. Its new.
Same
Call moen for a free replacement cartridge
Why doesn't anyone first tell people to BLOCK the drain hole (plug or cloth) not to lose any screws or items dropped. IMPORTANT first step!
Apart from the ass spa this was a great vid.
Thanks Andrew. That was one of my favorite parts too.
Mine has a slow drip after I installed new one?
Is it dripping from the shower head or faucet, or from the handle? It sounds like your cartridge may be defective. Was there any scoring or damage to the pads on either side before you installed it? Either way, Moen will replace for free if you call them.
@@ThisGuyProductions I got the cheap cartridge returned it for the moen and problem stopped
@@ericmendez771 Good to know the cheap cartridges are problematic.
Own a home, be prepared for repairs.
Agreed. This is my third home so I am totally familiar with the drill. The issue is that the builder used the most inexpensive parts possible when building my new home. The garbage disposal and water heater were designed for trailers. That's what prompted me to start this channel.
You can get replecement cartriges free of charge from Moen. All you have to do is give them the model number.
Thanks SL Wide, I have added that blurb to the video description.
Do I have to turn off the water in the house ? Or to the faucet ?
entire water to the house must be off
The entire house.
This Guy thanks buddy ! Did it a few months ago, thanks to this guys video took 10 mins
I noticed when moen shower faucets are not used for long periods, they become hard to turn.
That sounds about right. The shower in question hadn't been used in months.
It leaked, didn't it.
Im doing the full anger hulk pull on this thing but it wont come out pulling so hard the channel locks slipped off and i slammed in the back of the shower what am i doing wrong????
Did you rotate the valve. I have had a few folks comment that they had to rotate it to get it out. Also, did the retainer pin come out?
@@ThisGuyProductions it took some power to pull it off my husband did it when he got home but your video helped me greatly thank you
The lube opens like a capsule. the long side holding in is inside.
Thanks. I forgot how I opened it. Did I use my teeth in this video? Sorry.
Moen has a lifetime warranty. Call them up and tell what parts you need and they ship it to you free of charge.
Thanks Butch. Lots of folks have shared that valuable piece of info. Please keep supporting us.
Got it - if the toilet is steamy- don’t change anything.
The capsule that you cut comes apart by pulling the cap off… smh
I replaced mine and water keeps running and I cant turn it off???
It could be that the cartridge is the incorrect one. Dumb question, but did you compare them to each other when you purchased it? The other issue could be that it was installed flipped. Let me know how it works out.
This Guy The part I bought was broken... Had to grab another one from Lowes thank you so much for this video and all your help!!
@@RolandaB So glad it all worked out!
It’s not glue it’s plumbers grease
Thanks.
I had a plumber come over to my house and try to charge me $600 do change the cartridge. SMH.
You didn’t address setting the positemp … to limit the amount of hot water so there is no scalding
Hey Brian,
You are correct. TBH I didnt know that was a thing and didnt see it mentioned by the manufacturer. Can you provide some more details?
Lmao @ Devine lol
It really was.
I replaced the cartridge twice and it’s still leaking
Hey Mike, It sounds like it may be the housing on your system and not the cartridge that is the problem.
This Guy Thanks for responding! Can the housing go bad on its own before removing the cartridge
This Guy this was my first attempted to change it. I didn’t use anything drill or screw driver. The system is only 5 years old. It is leaking the same exact way
Looks like you might have some Calcium build up problems with your water.
Also, the lube that comes with the package is a SILICONE based lube. You SHOULD NEVER use anything other than Silicone on rubber products. Things like Vasoline or WD 40 are patroleum based and will destroy rubber gaskets.
Thanks JST. Yeah, in South Texas we get our water from an underground aquifer so there are tons of dissolved solids in our water. I have stepped up with a serious filtration home system which has resolved any issues in that area.
A spa🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ooh, it was pleasant. I am sure it helped my pores too.
I actually did this project yesterday and I felt like I was in a water park cause I got soaked lol I had to run and shut off the main ,but I fixed it lol
@@soniamuniz4309 OMG so funny. I bet the water pressure helped getting the old cartridge out though.
@@ThisGuyProductions actually once I shut the valve off ,that was when I dared to pull it out if not omg I would have been drenched
Plumbing 101 shut off the main
So long and drawn out. I don’t know why people that aren’t plumbers post videos of plumbing repair. I got through about the first two minutes and you hadn’t even started on the cartridge yet.
I do talk a lot. Many of my subscribers watch these videos for my rambling and don't necessarily need to repair something. In my later videos I add a note on screen that gives you the time stamp in case you want to skip it.
That tut it's a lie , I've pulled so many of these, and it's not as easy as you make it look like, these come out in pieces , and I have to pick them out the valve ,surge lines and lake sure there's nothing left from old cartridge left in the valve....
I've done about 5 of these and havent come across that issue yet. I guess I am lucky. It is a pain in the a** to pull them out sometimes though.
