The moen plastic pull out cartridge is widely available, certainly at Ace or blue or orange, and probably also at a sears outlet. There is a removal tool which is normally necessary, and you can purchase that at whatsoever place that sells the cartridge.

I am at Lowes right now. Lowes has replacement cartridge role 1225, not 1225B. The part is $19.97. Volition this part piece of work?They have the cartridge puller tool, $14.97. Wow, the job will cost me nearly $35, unless I tin can detect the parts somewhere cheaper.

hj plumbs in Arizona.
The h2o there must be very bad.
There are several plumbers that report that Moen gives them issues.
That is not the example with normal water, like the stuff nosotros have in Seattle.
Moen is a breeze to repair here.
We pull the clip, pull the cartridge, and it's all downhill from in that location.
But and then, we have good h2o hither.
And get the genuine Moen, don't waste material money on generic parts for these.
I have never needed a "removal tool" on Moen.
If you live in an surface area with hard water, yous may demand 1.

Moen
Since I have worked on Moen "Dialcet" faucets since they were created, (I installed the start 1 in the Chicago surface area in my own bath), and have had innumerable ones that resisted extraction, to the betoken where I have four different pullers in my truck, and some extractions require more than than ane, I guess my 60 years of experience, (in Chicago, Michigan, and Arizona), tops your xxx. Your area may be such that EVERY contumely Moen stem comes out with the plastic device, just in that case I remember it may be the exception. As I accept stated, that "final resort" puller, if it does not work, ways y'all replace the valve. And if that puller does non work, the plastic DooDad would exist completely worthless. But if you noticed I said your comment was from someone who "never had a stuck cartridge", which could be truthful in your example.

Thank you for the communication anybody. I emailed my son's soccer autobus who is actually principal plumber. He claimed that 90% of the Meon catridges that he has worked with come out without the puller tool. We shall see.
I took the handle and the sleeve off to bank check things out. I can see the retainer prune. Now I have a good feel for what I need to exercise.
Anyhow, I plan on doing the chore this weekend. I will purchase the puller tool as well. If I don't demand it, so I will render it. Stay tuned...
