Bill C Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 21 hours ago, StephenW said: Bill, The cartridge that Ivan K showed is a Moen 1222B for a shower valve that has a handle that rotates to turn on and off from cold to hot. Your picture shows a Moen shower valve that has a handle that pulls out for on and push in for off and turn left and right for hot and cold. I believe the cartridge you need is a Moen 1225. I think you are correct Stephen, it is probably a 1225. The 1222 is too big in diameter, my inside diameter is about .79 inches. I will be able to confirm once I get the Moen tool tomorrow and can remove the old one. It is a brass one and the 1225 tool didn't quite reach it. I've also learned that the brass one's are really hard to get to move, and a plastic tool just won't do the job. Bill 20 hours ago, Ivan K said: Yes, ours is turning counterclockwise to adjust. Good Day Ivan, Please remind me of my question to your answer "turning counterclockwise to adjust". Forgive me if I lost the bubble on this discussion 🙂 Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan K Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Bill, the counterclockwise mention was to confirm what StephenW said, the 1222 model does not pull out, only rotates. He is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill C Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thanks Ivan, I wish I had knew that, I would not have purchased the 1222, mine is pull out 🙂 Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our old class C was like yours and thinking about it, I probably would like it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenW Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Bill, When you connect the cartridge puller, make sure you rotate the old brass cartridge back and forth before tightening the hex nut to start pulling the old cartridge out. Rotating really helps free up the old brass cartridge. I would recommend replacing the brass cartridge with the plastic 1225 unit. Good luck!

Bill C Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Nut, what nut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenW Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) When using the cartridge puller the outside of the puller goes up against the valve body and after tightening the screw into the cartridge stem, rotate the puller side to side to loosen the cartridge, then with a crescent wrench on the flat sides,( looks like a nut?) of the puller, you turn clockwise to begin pulling the cartridge out of the valve body. If you need detailed instructions or help please feel free to PM me. Edited January 24, 2023 by StephenW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
