Moen 1200 One-Handle Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Cartridge Replacement, Brass

So far so good, smooth as butter

I turned to Amazon because both Home Depot and Lowe at my area did not have this in stock. I was very skeptical at first because this is for a old Moen, even Moen web site doesnt list it clearly. I didnt know it Im ordering the right thing by looking at the photo. As the price is so much lower than HD or Lowe, I took my chance. Fortunately it was the right one and works perfectly. I would never expect buying plumbing parts from internet. Risk well taken! Money First

Contacted David Powers Limited questioning the quality of the Moed 1200 replacement cartridge. Sara from David Powers Limited responded, All items are purchased in bulk directly from the manufacturer, without retail blister packaging. This is the reason for the tremendously low price and free shipping. I am not sure if the quality of bulk product is different from packaged product, so I cannot speak to that, unfortunately. However, the price of $17.97 is not low. You can purchase a genuine Moen 1200 all brass cartridge on eBay for $14.97 with free shipping. I attempted to install this replacement cartridge and found it had two issues. It was slightly longer so the retainer clip used to retain the cartridge would not fit without forcing it through the slots. In addition, the orifices of the valve are small and only allow a reduced flow of water as compared to the OEM valve. Caution ! ! ! ! Go with the genuine Moen 1200 valve. Its a perfect fit and youll get it at a cheaper price. If it doesnt have Moen stamped on the brass part of the cartridge then its not a Moen cartridge.

Good product

If your moen is a push pull for on/off and then turn for temperature this is the one you need.

Perfect part to get my older Moen hand held shower up and working.

This brass cartridge is superior to the plastic ones I found at Lowes & Home Depot. It has 4 O rings instead of only 2.

I replaced this easily enough but within a month it failed and started leaking again, stiff to open and close, etc.. Still fresh in my memory, lets have a look. I went to pull out packing and only the inner stainless shaft came out, the outer brass valve stayed inside housing. The spring steel (outer) C-clip failed. Fortunately Im only out the $25 I paid for this Chinese Moen knock off. Also check your review, whoever monitors this likes to change your 1 star rating 5 stars.

This is what the factory should have put in the product when they were at the factory. The replacement will probably outlast me! Good quality product!

fits perfectly, works flawlessly, very good price
