1200 Cartridge

Good quality and easy to install. Fixed the problem I first brought a cheap one and it didn’t solve the problem.

My 40+ year old valve rotated a little stiff, wasn't leaking, but even turned to full hot was not as hot as the sink faucet next to the shower. I wanted to stay with the Moen brass unit so I went with this. Pulled the knob and cover off then sprayed it vinegar for a couple days, using a removal tool everything came apart easily, not sure I needed the tool but happy I had it just in case. New valve was lightly greased from Moen, slid right in, reassembled and now have hot water. New valve turns super easy compared to old valve. If your valve turns stiff or needs a tug to pull out, a good push to close, it could be a warning. Not a hard job to DIY, only tools I used were screwdrivers to remove knob and cover, visegrip for retaining clip and valve removal tool.

The pull-out, on/off, hot-cold, knob for the shower in the travel trailer leaked pretty bad. Water conservation is important but especially in a rv/travel trailer when your water supply is limited. The old knob actually pulled off too. During repair, it was determined there was no problem with the knob, but the valve was bad and the retaining clip had broke as well. When using this for your repair make sure your retaining clip is in good condition. It is a separate part, so order it as well if you need it. It is the part that keeps this valve, handle, and everything locked in place, it is a gold U-shaped retaining clip with a little hole in the middle and little protusions on the ends which installs beneath the stop gap (if you search" moen retaining clip" in Amazon you will see it). I highly recommend this part to repair your fixture instead of simply replacing it, replacing it fixed the leak, and the original part was from 1972. I hope it lasts another 30-40 years. The part is not cheap, but I think it is easier to replace it than to replace the whole fixture, especially in hard to reach places with limited access.

Excellent OEM replacement.

Original MOEN part in manufacturer's packaging. Solid, appears identical to cartridge it replaced. All I needed was to replace the o-rings, but that's wasn't an option i could find. The original part lasted 50 years and had a slow dripping leak. Installed with silicone grease (not included). This elimated that problem so far.

Old one popped out with a bit of work. This popped in place easily. It fits and it saved me a call to a plumber or a trip to a big box store. Second one I've purchased. Will buy again should the need arise. Be sure and make sure you buy the correct model.

So easy to install. Had a little trouble with the old cartridge but, this one just slipped in.

fit perfect, saved hundreds on cost by NOT calling a plummer. turned off water, removed face plates, old circlip, then used vise grip to pull and slightly turn the old valve. and after 2 or 3 minutes of working it, it came out, then used some extra fine steel wool to rub out the inside of the brass housing, greased the new fitting and slid it in, put back the old circlip, [they don't provide a new circlip] tested the valve for leaks [was none] and reinstalled all the face plates and fitting and handle.. works super smoothly... less than a third of what lowes and home depot want for the same 1200 moen valve.. and a VERY SMALL fraction of what a plummer would gouge you for.. just wow

Worked perfect smooth install

Was a true genuine item

Had a drip from the shower tap in an older Moen fixture, this worked perfectly, drip was fixed. Required a special tool to remove the old cartridge although you could make do otherwise

Shower out of action and couldn’t find the replacement part. Amazon had it and it came in less than 24 hours. Downside Moen replace parts for free!

It is the same size and model I was looking for, I couldn’t find it at any plumbing stores but it was here at amazon, I watched YouTube and installed it in 5 minutes saving $200 for what the plumber asked for replacement. So no more dripping water from the faucet of the shower.
