OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!😀 I am a lady living alone and thanks to you amazing video, I was able to stop my faucet from leaking without calling a plumber!!! Sending you a big hug my friend!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for taking time to share this back when you did so. It was just right, I think, and like others here, I liked the tips and humor you interjected. My undersink shutoff tends to leak, like yours does, too. I learned to tighten the retention nut on that faucet handle slightly whenever I had occasion to turn it. I think I will spare my aging knees tomorrow and just shut the whole house water off instead of crawling on my knees under the sink. Seems like it ought to work fine. One last thing, re the silicone grease. I think if will be applied, it should go on the bottom (insertion) end of the rubber gaskets, since that is what will come into contact with the housing first. A small thing, but I think it makes sense.
I really Appreciated the Step by Step on this, without this Video I would have Struggled alot Longer than I did LOL. You made this job so Much Easier ! Thank You !
This was the best video I found regarding replacing a Moen faucet cartridge. Annoyingly, it was the last one that I looked at so it took me all afternoon to replace the two cartridges. This video had one element the other's didn't have--that you have to turn the little white thing on the cartridge to align it with the faucet handle. Once I knew that, I had the job done. Thank you for these instructions.
Thank you! I was killing myself trying to get the cartridge out. The trick is to get it started separating it from the brass cylinder it sits and and then get it out with the vice grips. Don't worry about mangling the cartridge as you will be replacing it.
We used this excellent video yesterday to install this cartridge in our bathroom faucet, thanks. It took longer to remove the cartridge than I thought but eventually we got it out using this method with the screwdriver instead of pulling it out with pliers as we first saw on another video. The cartridge broke when we took it out and had to use need pliers to get the remaining old cartridge out. But all worked out in the end run.
Great video!!! But, no matter how hard I tried, I could not get my screwdriver under the lip of the cartridge to pry it out. Ended up searching for a "How to remove stuck Moen sink cartridges" video. Used that video's trick of grabbing the stalk of the cartridge vertically with Vicegrips and using a large screwdriver with the Vicegrips to lever the cartridge up and out. Worked like a champ. After 23 years, that cartridge was stuck, stuck, stuck. Moen did send replacement cartridges for free, but I got the impression that newer fixtures no longer have the lifetime warranty
@guymandudely324 just remember you're paying for their expertise so they run into a problem. They'll fix it. If you went into a problem it could cause some major issues
You could use a $2.00 turkey baster from the supermarket to remove the water after taking out the cartridge. Great video, clear, concise and to the point!
@@Hindsight101 In the end your video was really helpful to me in removing the handle and selecting the correct cartridge from Lowe's. However, I guess Moen puts the same cartridge in multiple styles of bodies because at the point you used the water-pump pliers at 2:20 I found my cartridge was deeply recessed and required tool #14272 to remove it. I 3D printed a tool from Thingiverse (www.thingiverse.com/thing:1759028 ) and removed the internal retaining nut. Thanks!
Hey thanks........I went and watched your video again.....my mistake was I some how got the notch a little off .. Corrected it.....ok now also I will get the rubber wrench ......will watch your other videos......too,... thanks again
I just did mine same one but when I tightened it up got a little tough when I turned water on ....I have to check what I did wrong .....maybe to tight.......great job you did......
..place the towel over the cartridge as you insert it - will contain the splash... also use painters BLUE tape to protect the other fixtures when using metal pliers to prevent scratching ...
@@Hindsight101 A thought about your video. What if you used the dripping event in the Moen 1224 as a lead for what you want to demonstrate next. The main thing that I see in these videos is that there is no gotcha that leads you to want to watch something else. Why not end with an invitation to your next video?
I have replaced several cold water cartridges on my Moen 2 handle villeta faucet - I still have a solid drip when off - HD suggested putting bit of vinegar in the empty cold water chamber, did that, removed it, flushed it with water, new cartridge - still drips cold water - don't see much with flashlight in empty chamber, bit of discoloration after cleaning and flushing - ???
I had the same issue use a small wired brush and clean the pipe. Buy additional lubricant not the one that comes with the cartridge. Let me know if that works
If you want to get the water out easy get a spray bottle or a spray pump and stick it in the remaining water and spray or pump it out (hand sanitizer pump works too)
Excellent lesson. I did not know about rubber wrenches before this. I also have made scratches using a rag and pliers, so I "made" a rubber wrench with a piece of bicycle inner tube and pliers. It worked great. I wouldn't have thought of that without your video. Thank you.
@@Hindsight101 Thanks for reminding me I HAVE RUBBER wrench. It cracked me up thinking, "oh yes, I have one of those somewhere." I appreciated every aspect of your video. I must tell you, I did see a movie were a lady in green skin DID melt when water got on her.😁 So it could happen!
@@Hindsight101 Not true, mine is several years old. I just contacted them online and they sent the part free. My plumber said they have a lifetime replacement part and for me to contact them for the free part and I did and they mailed me the part.
I bought the 1224 cartridge and was ready to replace the old leaky one . First I found that the under sink shut off valve does not completely close the flow of water . In the basement , there are multiple old valves but none of them seem to shut off the water to the kitchen . The landlord will not help , so I am wondering if it's possible to replace the cartridge , even with a small trickle of water ?
I have done it but it’s not fun and messy. As long as there isn’t a lot of water pressure you sure be able. Since I don’t know your setup, I must say at your own risk.
@@Hindsight101 Thanks for the timely reply . The landlord is obviously not interested in helping , so going the messy route is looking like my only option ( unless we call an actual plumber ) . The situation is irritating because I am able to do some basic plumbing repairs , but the inability to shut off the water not only complicates this repair - I worry that any future water issue might become an emergency .
I noticed this faucet is the Moen Monticello.. looks like the 4 in mini. Would you know if it’s the same process to remove the water cartridges from the Moen Monticello 8 in wide spread faucet?
I’m having a hard time removing the old white cartridge. Even using the flat head screwdriver. I tried pulling the cartridge out with pliers and it is really tough. I remember it had worked on an old faucet in the past, but not here. Thoughts? Buy a better plier?

@@Hindsight101 Thank you. For getting back to me. Our sink is very old and the cartridge was I’m moving. We finally used a block of wood, a vice grip on the cartridge and a long handle screwdriver to leverage/pull it out. Btw Love your videos? Well done and easy yo understand.
Thank you! You made that look too easy. My neighbor has a leaky faucet and wants to fix it herself. I thought I would research and see how to fix it. Did you make a video on how to fix a leaky shut off valve? 😎
. After your advice about genuine Moen parts, I returned to the plumbing store and purchased the moen part replaceing the knockoff part and the leaking stopped
a tradesman Great video. only thing is you used the pliers backwards. There is a direction of the teeth on the pliers. A tradesman showed me years ago.
I have the same issue. My moen 1224 was dripping from the hot valve so when I turned the water off, it leaked as well. Now I need a tutorial on how to fix that issue!
Once you shut the water off to the bathroom its fairly easy. The only hard part might be taking the value off because its hardened onto the pipe over time
@@Hindsight101 I actually found another video that showed a quick fix that might work. You tighten the nut right behind the valve. It won't always work, but it did for me.
@@Hindsight101 I will check again. It was a Peerless Faucet and when I contacted them they sent a similar replacement for $0! I also was going to hire a plumber as they came out and quoted the job for 3 faucets. The 1 mentioned above and 2 other bathroom ones. The quote was over $700 and maybe worse when all said and done. So I contacted Moen and they sent me 6 new cartridges for $0 and I replaced them myself. No more leaking. Two great companies that stood by their products. Always call them first!!!
I had low water pressure after replacing the cartridge and found out the aerator/filter on the spout was clogged up with debris and once I cleared that out the pressure was normal.
@@Hindsight101 It uses the 1224 cartridge. I tried to fix the faucet myself, but now not only the faucet is leaking but the shut off valve under the sink is leaking too. So now I have to get a plumber and pay him to fix it. 👎 the video made it look easy but it was not easy at all.
Thanks! Clearer than others. The screwdriver bit helps when the 1224 is stuck hard! Just be careful of the lip as its soft brass. Otherwise I used the lever method too. Shown here: th-cam.com/video/JXvnL6a97t0/w-d-xo.html
Those under sink water shut off valves ALWAYS seem to be an additional point of failure. For most smaller single family homes, especially if you have Moen faucets which seem to be always failing, I think you’d be miles ahead if you just had an easily accessible main water shut off valve. Do away with the the time, trouble and expense of having to replace those corroded shut off valves every time you need to replace a faucet core. Those shut off valves are not dependable and are just a nuisance to deal with - they provide no convenience if every time you need to actually use them, they also fail❗️👈 🤬
@@Hindsight101 I fixed my leaky faucet using your video. The bottom of the old cartridge broke and remained in the faucet, I used a flare head screw driver and a small hex key to pull it out. Tag n you again for the video.
I've had to do some crazy stuff to get a cartridge out. I think the worst was I had to break one up into 5 pieces before I could get it out. Glad everything worked out for you.

The alignment is the key. I had the same issue. It took me hours to find the right tutorial.
We watched this before and during and changed both cartridges in under an hour. You rock!
Thanks for the compliment
This was the first video on this particular faucet that helped!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Welcome
Thanks, Man! Your tips are much more helpful than Moen's generic video.
Happy to help!
Not sure what faucet model/maker I have. Looks similar to your video. I’ll give it a whirl 🤓 Thanks for the video 👍

Possibly you should not have to tighten it down that much, you just want to make sure it does not come loose.
..place the towel over the cartridge as you insert it - will contain the splash... also use painters BLUE tape to protect the other fixtures when using metal pliers to prevent scratching ...
