Will it fit?
Fits
- Older Moen two-handle kitchen, lavatory and tub and shower valves that take the 1224
- Hot or cold side
Not compatible with
- The 1234 two-handle cartridge with a stainless steel stem (valves built after December 2014)
- Single-handle Moen faucets that take the 1225 or the brass 1200
- The 1222 pressure balance shower cartridge
Is this your part?
Pull the handle and unthread the bonnet nut, then draw the cartridge out. The 1224 runs about 2-5/8 in. long with a 16-point broach, a washerless body and a white plastic stem, and 1224 or 1224B is stamped on the body. A stainless steel stem means the newer 1234 instead.
When to replace it
The spout drips with both handles closed, water weeps around a handle base, the cold side creeps warm, or a handle has gone stiff and gritty to turn. The cartridge and its O-rings wear out, not the faucet.

What is in the box

- Handles, bonnet nuts and grease are not included
How to install it
Time: About 20 minutes per side. Tools: Screwdriver, Adjustable wrench, Pliers.
- Shut off the water at the stops and open the faucet to bleed pressure.
- Pull the handle and unthread the bonnet nut.
- Note which way the old stem faces, then draw the old cartridge straight out with pliers.
- Push the new cartridge in and turn its stem to the same position as the old one. Hot and cold are mirror images, so a stem set wrong puts hot on the wrong handle.
- Thread the bonnet nut back on and refit the handle.
- Restore water and test both sides.
Questions
Does one cartridge fit hot or cold?
Yes. Either cartridge serves either side, so the 2 pack rebuilds both sides of one valve.
How do I tell a 1224 from a 1234?
Look at the stem. The 1224 has a white plastic stem. The 1234 has a stainless steel stem and fits two-handle valves built after December 2014.
Is it lead-free?
Yes. The wetted components are certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 by IAPMO R&T.
Is there a single pack?
No. FourHome sells the 1224 as a 2 pack only.
