Pro Parts Plus 1225-2-PPP Dual-Seal Cartridge Replacement Kit (2 Pack) - Compatible with Moen 1225 Single Handle Faucets/Showers - Brass Internal Shaft with Installation Instructions and Lubrication

Value: great. This was the least expensive valve I could find and it works great. Leak Resistance: This valve is working great on Moen faucet with no leaks at 18 months and better. Ease installation. The most difficult part is removing the old core. Pay close attention to disassembly and reassembly. You have to get parts seated properly. It's a bit too easy to put on backward and reverse the hot & cold output. Ease of Use: Works better than anticipated. Easy and smooth valve movement. I looked at the instructions and watched a YouTube video on replacement. Very few tools are required. I'm so happy to have a faucet that is easy to use again and doesn't drip! Leak resistance: I've been using two of these for over a year now and they are still performing perfectly.

Works great! Very smooth operation and easy to install.

They aren't hard to install - though you'll want to get a better puller than comes with the stem - and they work well enough. The water here is nasty - acidic and full of chloramines - so rubber dies quickly. The OEM parts did seem to last a little longer but they cost a LOT more, these work as well as OEM if not as long so they're a better deal.

Great price in the two, having some slight stiffnes with one shower handle, as I replaced a cartridge 5 years ago. These were easy to install and you can use vice grips to pull out. Extra grease was nice and 2 metal shims to lock in place a plus!! Now handles pull out with the slightest of ease as turn fast.

Easy to install and worked well. They were were starting to get a little stiff to operate after several years. Removed the cartridges and slid the center brass shaft out the bottom of the plastic housing. Let them soak a few minutes in a CLR solution, removed the calcium deposits and cleaned them up. Applied new plumbers faucet grease to the O-rings and reassembled and reinstalled. Working like new again.

I installed these in my two bathroom faucets and so far they are working great. They move up and down even better than the original ones. I bought the special tool to remove the old cartridges. Without the tool it would have been hard or impossible to get the old cartridges out after being in there for 32 years. It was well worth the $13.00 for the tool on Amazon and the cartridges are an amazing value at $15.00 for a pair of them. I honestly feel they are equal or better than the original Moen cartridges.

I had originally ordered replacement cartridges from Moen, which were free under the warranty. One of them was defective in a matter of weeks. I bought these because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of contacting Moen again. In my opinion, these are actually higher quality. I would suggest to any do it yourselfer, that you watch a video on YouTube on how to replace the cartridge. It’s really not hard, and I honestly believe just about anybody can do it, and these work great.

Worked perfect for my moen bathroom faucet. I followed installation instructions online and it was a quick and eady install. This 2 pack is less than the price of 1 individual cartridge if you buy in the store.
