I'm getting good at changing these things, we have 3 showers and change out the mixer valve in each one every year because of our hard water. The Moen works at least as good as the generic brands but they are a way better price here than at a home improvement store.

I have installed this year for years. DO NOT buy generic equal or off brand. Don’t be fooled by the price they are garbage. Only buy the genuine made buy Moen in the original package that has not been opened.

High-quality OEM replacement part from a top manufacturer. Follow directions for the install and the result is a like-new shower/tub handle that works effortlessly. Please note that removing the existing 1222 cartridge can be challenging because the large black rubber seals on either side of the cartridge tend to harden over time, making it difficult to extract the cartridge. Even pulling on the stem with vise-grips or adjustable pliers may not budge the old cartridge. I had to purchase a cartridge puller and even then removal was slow and difficult - I could not have gotten the old cartridge out safely without the puller. Fortunately, the puller is available in the aftermarket (e.g., Danco 86712 Puller for Moen, at Home Depot for about $13). Again, the new 1222 cartridge itself is excellent. All of the shower/tub handles now work with fingertip pressure rather than needing hard twisting to go on and off.Read full review

Good product, but next time I’ll try to remember to buy the rebuild kit. However, it is much easier to buy the preassembled part if you don’t want to deal with the hassle. I looked at the aftermarket preassembled part at a couple of hardware stores and it seems like you have to fool with it to get it right. So I got the original Moen instead just about $20.00. Look for the original and “price from low to high” to get the best deal. The difference between 1222A & B are that one is sold in big volumes and the other is sold individually.

My new 1222 Moen shower control cartridge is working great. The control knob works so smooth and the water mix is extremely accurate. Twenty-Four years have passed since our home was built. I would say the original Moen cartridge served us well. NOTE: I applied a heat gun to the valve body for a short time to aid in the removal of the old cartridge. - Jim
