There's nothing more frustrating than a leaky shower or fluctuating water temperature that makes your morning routine unpredictable. If your Moen Posi-Temp tub/shower or shower-only faucet is acting up - whether it's persistent drips, difficulty maintaining temperature, or inconsistent pressure - you're dealing with a worn-out cartridge that's past its prime.
Over time, the internal seals and components of your faucet cartridge wear down, leading to water waste and uncomfortable shower experiences. You might notice the handle feels loose, the temperature keeps changing unexpectedly, or you're constantly tightening connections to stop those annoying drips. Left unchecked, these issues can cause water damage and higher utility bills.
This authentic Moen 1222 replacement cartridge is engineered from a robust combination of brass and plastic, ensuring long-lasting performance that matches your original fixture. The Posi-Temp pressure-balancing valve system maintains a steady water temperature and pressure even when someone flushes a toilet or runs another water source elsewhere in your house - no more sudden scalding or freezing surprises mid-shower.
Replacing your old cartridge is straightforward and typically takes less than an hour with basic tools. You'll save the cost of a professional plumber while getting your shower back to perfect working condition. The cartridge is designed to fit seamlessly into Moen Posi-Temp configurations, so you don't need to worry about compatibility issues.
Men stands behind the quality of this replacement part with a One-Year Limited Warranty against leaks and drips. This gives you confidence that your repair will last, protecting your bathroom from potential water damage and ensuring consistent performance for daily use.
