Question: How to Use a Moen Cartridge Puller on a Moen Faucet
Do I need a Moen cartridge puller to remove the cartridge in my Moen faucet and how do I use one?
Answer: A Moen cartridge puller is the best tool for removing cartridges in Moen cartridge-style faucets. Not all faucets have cartridges, but those that do often offer more challenges when it comes to removing them to effect a faucet repair.
Moen prides itself in their reliable cartridge construction which are one-piece assemblies with fewer parts that can cause problems. According to Moen, their faucets are backed with a limited lifetime warranty, (post 1995 to the original home owner).
However, faucets can fail over time and require repair. That's where a Moen cartridge puller can come in very handy, but using one can also pose some challenges. A Moen cartridge puller is designed (some have a handle) to provide a better grasp and pull, and pullers come in various designs.
And a Moen cartridge puller needs to be designed for use with a particular series of Moen cartridge faucets. If you installed the set of Moen faucets originally, you could refer to your product manual for series information. In the absence of this reference material, check the Moen.com site to identify your particular faucet series. You can find a Moen cartridge puller at most plumbing or home repair outlets. You can also order faucet parts and a Moen cartridge puller from Moen.
