- Moen's 104421 cartridge puller is made for the 1200, 1225 and 1222. For 1200/1225 pull the stem to full open first; for a 1222 turn the stem so its notch faces up.
- Moen sells the 1225B as a 'One-Handle Replacement Cartridge', the same name as the 1225; Moen doesn't publish a difference (retailers say it's packaging).
- Moen lists two 1225 variations: one for standard single-handle shower valves and one for pressure-balanced Moentrol valves; faucets also use different 1225 versions by handle rotation (360, 180 or 130 degrees). Match your old cartridge.
- Not interchangeable with: Moen 1222, Moen 1255
