Aloha. I'm new, but not new to DIY plumbing. I recently retiled our bath and replaced the plumbing fixtures. Our house was built 6 years ago, with "builder's special" fixtures. Though I am sure they are Moen, I cannot find a model number on any of the shower parts I removed.
I was able to replace the shower head and faucet no problem, with Moen's Banbury 82910. When I got to the handle, I forgot to put in the temperature limit stop kit and put the screw in the handle. When I realized what I missed, I tried to get the screw out with no luck, it was stuck tight. After trying every size screwdriver possible I realized I would need to drill out the screwhead.
So, handle is off, but part of the screw is still in the stem of the valve cartridge. I need to replace the cartridge and the screw obviously. My question then is since I don't know the model of the original moen fixture and I didn't replace the valve with a new one, can I use the Moen 1222 cartridge to replace the one in the wall ?
All the parts for the faucet handle fit, including the temperature limit stop kit, the stop tube, the handle, etc... The front of the cartridge for the old valve even looks like the new cartridge. I just don't want to mess things up further or end up getting the cartridge stuck in the valve and have to replace the valve.
Thanks for any insights.
