FAQ
Q: Will this cartridge fit my Moen faucet?
A: This 1222HD cartridge is designed for all Moen Posi-Temp single-handle tub/shower and shower-only valves. If your existing handle is a single lever that rotates to control temperature (not two separate knobs), this cartridge should be the correct replacement. Always verify your valve model before ordering.
Q: What's the difference between 1222 and 1222HD?
A: The 1222HD features a brass shell (housing) while the standard 1222 uses a plastic shell. The brass construction provides superior durability, making the HD version ideal for commercial settings or homes with hard water. Both cartridges have identical internal dimensions and fit the same Posi-Temp valves.
Q: How do I install this cartridge?
A: Turn off the water supply, remove the handle and trim plate, pull out the retaining clip, and extract the old cartridge using a cartridge puller tool. Insert the new 1222HD cartridge, reinstall the clip, and reassemble the trim. Detailed instructions are included with your purchase.
Q: Does this come with the retaining clip?
A: This listing is for the cartridge only. We recommend reusing your existing retaining clip if it's in good condition, or purchasing a new clip separately. The cartridge itself includes all internal seals and O-rings.
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: All iFJF 1222HD cartridges come with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If you experience any defects or fitting issues, contact our support team for a free replacement or full refund.
