Replacement Moen 1225 Whips to the right hard when turning on?

[Brad Repka]

Ok, I am in need of a little help. I watched a few videos and read a couple of instruction guides on how to replace a Moen 1225 cartridge. The replacement went well, and with the initial test it works fine. The problem happens when i get everything back together. When the water is then turned on the know whips to the right hard, and i have to take the cartridge out again and reset. Has anyone encountered this? What am i doing wrong?

What do you mean by "reset it"? A 1225 stem can rotate 360 degrees, so there is no way to "reset" it.

I hope you have the retaining clip still holding the cartridge in.
