## Description

Product description Disassemble the lever to unveil the cartridge head. Remove the pin from the cartridge to set it free. Using the pliers, firmly hold and twist the old cartridge counterclockwise and pull to remove, and inspect the new cartridge.

Review: Fit much better than Moen cartridge - Moen faucets have a lifetime warranty. So, I got a free cartridge for my shower/tub faucet from them. A puller is definitely required to remove what was in there. I installed the Moen supplied cartridge, but it was a super tight fit and I had to hammer it in. In doing so, it was damaged and didn't work. So, I was in a bind since I have to shut off the water at the street. (newer ones apparently have a shutoff just on the hot and cold supply lines right near the fixture). desertcart had same day delivery on this aftermarket cartridge. I read some reviews that said this fit better than the Moen ones. That was true. It was properly snug, but easily installed and it worked flawlessly. Plus it was a lot cheaper than the Moen one that I looked up at home depot when I realized I needed another one. In the future, I am not taking the free Moen cartridge, but will use this brand.
Review: Works great, and seems slightly better than OEM. - Replaced two of these in my home. Used an oem cartridge in the first, and ordered this one to have as a spare/backup. I decided to replace the cartridge in my spare bathroom, and figured I’d give this one a try. The old cartridge was extremely stubborn to remove, and broke apart during removal. The rubber seals had fused themselves to the valve body. I had to essentially pry and break the remnants out of the body. The body was corroded, and I was concerned with getting a good seal from the new cartridge, so I also purchased a 1” ball hone on desertcart. I’m glad I did. The hone allowed me to thoroughly clean up the inside of the valve, and gave me a nice smooth surface for the seals to mate to. The cartridge works great, and after a few months of daily use, is still leak free, and very easy to turn. I won’t hesitate to purchase these for my third bathroom, when the need arises.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have the pressure balance feature?**
A: Hi, I don’t think so. Pressure was very weak, I had to replace it again with original model, and then it was working just fine.

**Q: Is this a genuine Moen product, or an aftermarket?**
A: Aftermarket. However, I also replaced a genuine moen the same day and the two looked quite the same. The jury is still out on this one but so far it’s preformed as expected.

**Q: Does it come with lubrication oil included? This is usually needed to ensure leak free operating and less noise**
A: Yes it has a small capsule of plumbing silicone grease to lubricant the rubber o ring

**Q: My cartridge say #158084 will this # 1222 replace it?**
A: Yes 158084 was the # on the cartridge that I replaced with 1222. It was an exact replacement

### ⭐ Water Hammer After Install
*by M***T on October 20, 2025*

Short version: Do not buy this, buy the actual name brand as my water hammer issue as described below was resolved after I installed the Moen brand. Long version: I bought this just as everyone else trying to save $35-40 but it wasn’t worth it. I bought this because we were having water drip from the shower head. I installed this product last October 2024 and ever since we would hear the water pipes hammer after turning off other faucets in the house or flushing toilets. Today (10/19/2025, yes a whole year later) I was determined to fix it thinking it was an unsecured pipe rattling. I opened up the dry wall to see the pipes were still secure and not moving at all when water would shut off. Dejected after not understanding what was going on and thinking I needed a professional plumber, I restarted research online. I saw a couple articles about this on other plumbing forums and then started reading the 1 star reviews on this product, to which I found others had this same exact problem. I went out and bought the $53 Moen 1222 cartridge from Home Depot and installed. WATER HAMMER IS GONE! To my wife and I’s delight we again have silent pipes.
