Lordahl TW-5 Moen Cartridge Removal Tool

Product Description

The LORDAHL TW-5 is a dedicated cartridge removal tool designed for extracting Moen faucet cartridges during service and repair work. Plumbers and fixture technicians use this tool to pull worn or seized cartridges from Moen single-handle faucets without damaging the valve body. Proper cartridge extraction requires a tool that engages the cartridge securely, and the TW-5 provides that direct mechanical advantage. This tool is a standard item for plumbing service kits where Moen faucet repairs are a routine call.

The TW-5 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing service on Moen single-handle faucets found in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas. It is particularly suited for situations where cartridges have been in service for extended periods and resist hand removal. Service plumbers performing faucet rebuilds or cartridge replacements will find this tool fits standard Moen cartridge configurations as described by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply to the fixture and relieve line pressure before beginning cartridge removal. A licensed plumber should perform this work where local codes require it. Follow the faucet manufacturer's service instructions for cartridge orientation and reinstallation after extraction. Do not use excessive force with the removal tool, as this can damage the valve body or cartridge seat.
