Question 1

Is the Removal tool included?

Accepted Answer

There is a white plastic nut which you put on top of the cartridge stem and wedge between the ears AFTER REMOVING THE RETAINER CLIP.  Rotate the white nut 1/4 each way to unstick the cartridge in the valve body, then pull out with pliers.  There are instructions in the package which show what to do.

Having said that, I’ve had to take extreme measures twice on a cartridge firmly stuck in a tub/shower fixture.  The  Moen puller tool simply pulls the guts out of the cartridge, leaving the body behind.  The trick to getting the body out is to run a 1/2 thread tap in the valve body and then put an 11/16ths socket with the open end on the fixture body opening.  Run a 1/2 inch bolt through the square socket opening and tighten.  The cartridge should pull out as the bolt is tightened.  Greasing the O-rings with dielectric grease on the replacement cartridge before installation may help prevent it from sticking in the future.

Question 2

Will I need the additional cost cartridge puller to remove old cartridge?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how tightly the old cartridge is seized in the faucet body, but generally if the cartridge can't be removed by rotating it 90 degrees with the included plastic tool and then pulling it out with pliers, very likely the additional cost cartridge puller will not work but will  result only in the center of the cartridge coming out.   Then the outer portion of the cartridge will have to be pulled out with an Easy Out extractor bit or a bolt and a wooden dowel.  The latter method is very effective but first requires cutting threads into the seized cartridge portion with a 0.5" or 12mm tap (oil the tap) for at least 2" and then inserting a 3/8" diameter wooden dowel, approximately 1.5" - 2" long, then tightening a bolt at least 3" long and with threads matching the tap so it presses against the dowel and makes the bolt pull out the remaining part of the cartridge.

Question 3

Does this also work in a Moen Posi-Temp  tub-shower push-pull valve?

Accepted Answer

This is not a posi-temp cartridge.

Question 4

Is there a difference between the Moen 1200 replacement cartridge the Moen 1200b cartridge for single handle faucet?

Accepted Answer

Basically, the 1200 is for single handle faucet's made before 2002  The 1225 model is for faucets made after 2002. I am not familiar with the 1200 B
