    I'm just doing this and got hung up on getting the clip to fit back in at 2:10. The question is "how far do I push the new cartridge in? I had to take some measurements. From front end of the brass valve housing that the cartridge slides into, it is .250" (1/4") back to the clip slot. It is only about .125" (1/8") from where you want the clip to the front of the plastic ears. That means you have to push the ears in past the brass about "125" (1/8") to have it seated to the right depth. And it must be seated absolutely vertically for the clip to slide down over the plastic ears.

    • @scorpionbuilds
      @scorpionbuilds 28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Typically the cartridge will only go in far enough for the clip to be installed, if you’re having issues, double check you have correct replacement cartridge by doing a side by side comparison. Make sure nothing is preventing it from being properly seated, and yes the cartridge must be in the right position for the clip to be installed

  • @Planeretired

    Tip #5 make sure the old cartridge didn’t break. If the cartridge won’t go back in, look in the hole it goes in. Mine had a bunch of bits still inside. What a bear but it’s all done.

    My hot water pressure is very low only in 1 tub. Rest of house is fine. Could it be cartridge? Its moen as well.

    • @scorpionbuilds
      @scorpionbuilds 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s possible,and the cheapest place to start. but it’s more likely to be another issue causing low pressure. I’d first ask if the cold is also low on that fixture? Or any where else in that bathroom? What kind of pipe is it plumbed with? Is that room an addition to the original house? It could be corrosion inside the pipe making the diameter, smaller and causing low pressure. But it’s hard to say without being there to troubleshoot.

  • @veragurskaya637
    @veragurskaya637 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for the video! One time I changed the same cartridge in my bath tap, and it was successful. But I couldn't take out the old cartridge in my hubby's bath tap today. I took off the pin, but the cartridge was stuck halfway when I tried to pull it out. I was able to push the cartridge back, but not pull out. I checked for more locking pins and found no one. Fortunately, after all of these operations, when I assembled a faucet back, the tap with the old cartridge stopped leaking :-)) Do you have an idea, what was wrong? I'm afraid to apply too much strength in the plumbing works to avoid more damage. I was pulling the cartridge out pretty firmly

    • @scorpionbuilds
      @scorpionbuilds 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question, sorry you’re having trouble getting it out. Try soaking the cartridge with some WD-40 or a silicone spray, and thy using this puller tool: amzn.to/4cUNz27 Hope this helps, good luck

    • @veragurskaya637

    • @scorpionbuilds
      @scorpionbuilds 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If the new valve doesn’t stop the dripping, there may be damage to the housing where the cartridge seals are, if that’s the case, replacing it may be the only option, I’d inspect it carefully for damage

    Hmm, My kitchen faucet uses the 1225 cartridge, and I love the wide swing between hot and cold compared to the hair trigger switchover point between too hot and too cold on my Delta shower valve. I need to start looking for a 1225 tub & shower valve to replace the Delta.

      @Tao-ji2sb assuming you have the correct cartridge, and there is no debris in the way and you lubed the o-rings. I’d guess perhaps it’s not in all the way or it’s in to far and needs to be pulled out just a tiny bit. Hope this helps

    You didn't mention the "notch" on the stem and which way it should be oriented, or testing the valve in the proper orientation to ensure cold water and hot water is working properly. Has something to do with the stem notch.

      A lot of flooring manufacturers had problems with the locking designs, that tended had problems in high traffic areas. I see it all the time. Often it can be attributed to improper floor prep. In this case someone moved the flooring from a different room, and broke off the lock. And it is a laminate floor with a wooden core

    This isn't a harwood floor. It's floating laminate. This process works well, but often, you will have to repeat the process several times because you are just moving the gap to another location. If you can hide it under a baseboard, then you are fortunate.
