Moen Inc/faucets 1222 Single Handle Faucet Cartridge

Product Description

The MOEN INC/FAUCETS 1222 is a single handle replacement faucet cartridge designed for Posi-Temp tub and shower valve assemblies. It restores proper flow and temperature control in pressure-balancing valve bodies that have worn, leaked, or failed to maintain consistent output. The cartridge incorporates pressure-balancing technology that limits sudden temperature swings during system pressure changes, reducing the risk of thermal shock during showering. Licensed plumbers and experienced service techs install this cartridge as a direct internal component replacement within the valve body, without requiring full valve replacement. A removal tool and replacement instructions are included in the package.

This cartridge is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where single handle Posi-Temp tub and shower valves are installed. It is a service-grade replacement part suited for repair calls where the valve body remains structurally sound but the internal cartridge has degraded. The included removal tool simplifies extraction of the original cartridge from the valve body during service. This part is sold in a package quantity of 18 units, making it a practical stocking option for plumbing contractors who service multiple properties.
