Moen Inc/faucets 1224 Faucet Cartridge 2-handle

Product Description

The MOEN INC/FAUCETS 1224 is a replacement faucet cartridge designed for use in 2-handle style valve assemblies. The cartridge controls water flow and temperature on the hot or cold side of a faucet by seating inside the valve body and rotating with the handle. It is a direct-replacement component used in residential plumbing repair when a faucet develops dripping, stiffness, or flow restriction. Weighing 0.28 pounds, it ships as a single unit and is a standard stock item for plumbers servicing Moen-brand fixtures.

This cartridge fits 2-handle style valve configurations, making it applicable to a wide range of lavatory, kitchen, and utility faucet repairs. It is commonly installed during routine faucet service calls when the original cartridge has worn seals or damaged internal components. Plumbers and experienced DIYers stock this part to reduce callback time on Moen faucet repairs in residential settings.
