How do I know which moen cartridge I need?
If you have a dripping Moen shower/tub fixture, the cartridge is usually at fault. This also applies to situations where there is no hot or cold water at your tap, or when the water is not strong enough.
Before replacing your Moen cartridge, it’s important to know which one you need in the first instance. For most people, the cartridge they use will either be the Moens 1222 or the Moens 1225 cartridge.
Moen shower faucets cartridges are not universal, so they’re not interchangeable. While the Moen 1222 cartridge is not compatible with the Moen 1222/1225 cartridges, the Moen 1222 or 1225 cartridges can be used interchangeably with the Moen 1200 cartridge. They’re different from the ones we had before.
The main difference between Moen 1222 and Moen 1225 cartridges is that Moen 1225 faucets have water volume control while Moen 1222 faucets don’t. With the 1222 cartridges, you only rotate the knob to adjust the temperature while with the 1225 cartridges, you pull out the handle to switch on and adjust the water volume.
If you want to know whether you need a 1222 (or 1225) Moen cartridge, check to see how your faucet works when you turn on the water. You can use either the Moen 1225 or Moen 1222 cartridges to adjust the water temperature in your shower.
The Moen 1200 series shower faucets are also known as the Moens Posi-Temp cartridges. It has a sensor that shuts off the hot tap when there’s not enough cold water pressure.

How long does a moen shower valve cartridge typically last?
Moen shower valves are generally expected to last 10 years from installation. This depends on how well the house was built and if it has been properly maintained. Moen shower valves should last longer if they are installed correctly and not exposed to harsh weather conditions. For instance, a poorly sealed door or window can allow moisture into the wall cavity where the shower valve is located. Moen showers can be very expensive, but the cost can be offset by replacing them after the 10 year warranty expires. A leaky shower valve also shortens the life of your faucet and showerhead.
Moen 1225 & 1222B cartridges: how to spot a bad cartridge?
If the faucet is running well, then the cartridges are fine. However, if the flow rate is low, the cartridge needs to be replaced.
Leaks: If you notice that the cartridge leaks when it’s not attached to the handle, know that that cartridge is bad and replace it. Leakage from the tub spout or shower head can indicate that the cartridge is not working properly.
If you experience any difficulty when opening or closing the water shutoff valve, then the cartridge may be faulty.
Water temperature: If the cartridge is not able to get either cold or warm water, then it is probably not in good condition.
Conclusion
Both Moen 1222 and Moen 1225 cartridges are great products. They both work perfectly and will provide excellent service for many years. However, Moen 1225 is more expensive than Moen 1222. But if you don’t mind spending extra money, then Moen 1225 is worth it because it has an additional 2-year warranty.
