        I replaced the siglelever faucet unit with a Magnum Replacement Cartridge #1225 but the faucet still leaks! Why? The uint is locked down with the brass split key and the brass retainer for the spout unit is twisted down tight. I replaced the rubber seals on the spout unit. They are water tight BUT the faucet still DRIPS. What’ll I do??? Suggestions welcome SMILE

              Art,
              It sounds like you got a bad cartridge. we sell about 50-#1225 cartridges a month and recently we had 6 deffective cartridges. Try a 1200 cartridge that may solve the problem.

                LEAKIMG MOEN FAUCET STOPPED!!!
                My local plumbing supply shop suggested I was attaching the single lever handle without dissembling it from the plastic cover and therefor NOT getting the straight side of the handle O-opening hooked over the brass holdown nut.Scott, I tried this and the leak stopped! Thanks for your concern! //ArtWeld
