I have a real problem with a shower cartridge leaking. It seems to be Moen Posi-Temp Faucet
Model 1222. I say it seems to be. Because the one I took out was not easy.
Even with a puller tool, It broke off. So I had to get it out in small pieces.
I cleaned out the hole making sure their was no more debris in it.
Brought a new Moen 1222 from Lowes. When I tried to fit it in, I found it was 1/16 inch to long?
I found this out after removing all seals, so that it would slide in easy. There is no way I was able to get the clip in? I have replace many cartridges in the past, mostly 1225's. And never came across one like this? I had an old Danco 1222 & filed the back of it down 1/16 inch. It went it easy & I could get the clip on with ease. So back to Lowes to buy a new Danco 1222. Filed the back of it down. (You can't file down a Moen, their's no room on the end, because the valve is right at the end) Fitted it in & turned the water back on, to find it still drips? I pull it out again to check the seals are in the right place, they were. So put it back in, to try again & still it leaks? I just don't know what to do next.
