Is this your part?
Pull the handle and lift the retainer clip. A 1225 push-pull cartridge starts the water when you pull the stem straight out and stops it when you push it in, with rotation only to mix hot and cold. If your handle sets temperature by rotating a lever from a fixed off position, you have a different valve.
When to replace it
The spout drips after shutoff, water weeps around the handle base, the handle binds or grinds mid-stroke, or hot and cold bleed together so the water never reaches full temperature.
