Leaking single handle shower faucett
I have replaceded my moen 1028(expired-moen didn't even recognize the 1028) to a universal 1225 cartridge,and after 2 weeks it's leaking again(hot water only) with the handle in shut off. Earlier when I pulled out the 1028,inspected the pipe,looks fine.greased the o rings on the 1225 too.The difference between the two is there is a very little size tit on the 1028,whereas the 1225 has none.inside the pipe there is a little indentation for that tit,does it matter?Though I had to bang the 1225 in,especially the last inch with a rubber hammer on the white plastic handle that comes with it,I'm not sold 100% this is the right cartridge,though it worked fine for 2 weeks,please advise

We usually lubricate new cartridge, push it in by hand as far as it goes and than for the last 1/2" or so I take small needle-nose pliers put it on top of the cartridge with stem in-between pliers and push in downward direction. Here, make sure the notches on stem and body line up. You will feel as it snaps into position. Insert "U" pin and your faucet should work OK now....
Here is a clip that may help, too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyBTL7GugHo Hope that helps / Milo |

When I am using my shower my single handed shower is leaking only cold water. It is leaking into the floor below it, and is not a constant leak. It only happens during water running. When shower is hot the water leaking is cold. I believe it is the Pressure valve but not too sure. Any ways to...

I believe I have a single handle shower fawcet. It looks as though the gaskets are not holding anymore and the water pressure pushes the handle out. It constantly runs so I have had to take off the handle and zip tied it shut. How do I fix or replace?:(
