Moen has 2 single lever cartridges.
If it's one you pull the handle out to turn water on, you want a 1225B.
If you just turn the handle left to turn water on, you want a 1222B.
If it's 2 handle, I be,dive they only had the one style for showers.

Thanks! I need to make sure I get the right part and taking out this cartridge properly. Never done it before.
That's a 1225B. Clear instructions come in the package to guide you through the replacement.

So I got it all installed but I'm having some issues. The handle rotates 360,the washer that goes onto the cartridge will not sit inside the plastic tabs (if that matters). I followed this video to the letter.

I guess it's all fine. Everything seems to be working properly and most importantly no leaks. So now on to the Replace my Kitchen Sink Strainer. Starting to feel like a handyman! Thanks guys!
That was a very good youtube video you posted to help you, provided you muted that music. It was horrible!

Yea, the music was pretty awful! At some pointI learned to tune it out.
Nice video.
Videos are hard to make that include everything you need to know.
He covered a lot of details.
He had some pretty nice fingernails.
That background music though !!! I think I'm going to need therapy.
only a few plastic cores come out that easy.
the core will turn 360 in the valve. The horseshoe clip is to properly align the core and also to make sure you have it pushed all the way into place.
