We have the moen vestige one handle kitchen faucet and it is leaking. Is this typically the part used to fix the problem?

It should be noted that Moen changed the cartridge they use in their single handle kitchen and bathroom faucets a couple or more years ago. So if you have a newer one then you might need to buy the 1255 cartridge for yours. The easiest way to tell which one you have before you take the entire thing apart is to just take the handle off. If there is a skinny stainless steal stem that the handle attaches to then you have the 1255, but if there's a metal handle adapter that pivots back and rotates side to side then you have the 1225. I only make this note for anyone that reads this later on. Hope it helps.

Hi Jennifer. I recently solved the same problem with this part. There are several small pieces that you must make sure are in the proper position. Suggest you watch this You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyBTL7GugHo or another similiar video several times --- with the new part in you hands. I also had video on my Ipad beside faucet when I did the repair. Home Depot may well have same part. Best wishes. :-) dan

I believe replacing the cartridge will stop the leak. I recommend NOT buying an after market cartridge since some non-Moen's lack the smooth operation. I bought several after market cartridges with the same results before trying the Moen. I also agree with GA Peach's suggestion to look at a youtube video to see how to replace the cartridge.

If you check the moen site, there are part nos for the faucet types. Just check to make sure you have the correct part. You might also need to get a cartridge puller if you been using your tap for a couple years.....the cartridge gets frozen and it will be difficult to remove but not impossible. Soak it with some Wd40 or similar penetrant for a couple hours before makes it even easier.

Before you try to replace it, you may have the same problem I had. Mine was leaking excessively, but upon reading the included care instructions, I discovered that you can remedy the leakage by reaching one hand inside the container and one outside. Grab the spigot and twist to tighten. It will need to the tightened each time you use it, but if you give a good turn, it will last a while. Hope this helps!

My faucet was leaking and replacing this part fixed it. I had no flow issues.

Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by "fit". It goes at the top so it doesn't really need to fit anything. Or are you referring to the faucet connection? I'm not sure if that's a standard size, but I can tell you it went directly onto mine without any issue at all. We did use some teflon tape to keep it from leaking, and we haven't seen a drop. If I can answer anything else for you, I'll gladly do so.

That is a possiblity, but the shutoff valve under the sink could also be the culprit. Make sure the valve is open completely. You could also try disconnecting the supply line from the bottom of the faucet (with the valve off) then put the line in a bucket and open the valve to see if the pressure is adequate to that point. If it is the faucet is clogged, which will require disassembly.

I replaced an older Moen faucet and only required minor adjustments (cutdown of the insert/adapter for the handles). If you are replacing a different brand, you'll either need the Moen valve or an adapter.

We ended up returning our faucet because it had a slow leak that would "puddle" onto the flat surface of the faucet. Purchased a faucet with a similar appearance from lowes.com.

I did this for one of my faucets and it worked. I removed the old insert and replaced it with a new low-flow insert. I kept the old threaded chromed metal retaining piece. The new insert sticks out a bit but works fine. Just make sure you replace the oring so it does not leak.

No it should not leak at all. I would try to re rap the fitting with Teflon tape or pipe dope again to see if that stops it. If you can tell it is coming from the regulator I would send ot back for a replacement.

Hiwww.moen.com or1 800-289-6636 is who helped me decide on the correct product. I don't know why you are changing your faucet, but if it's broken you should know that they guarantee their product for life. They may be able to send you a replacement part. If it's just for a change of style, then they would know all about the new products. Good luck.

I would contact MOEN at their 800 number. I needed a part for a project using their product and they were excellent about sending me the part and at no cost to me. Just have the product number with you. That way you know you will be getting the right piece instead of making a dozen trips to the DIY store.

A plastic coupler...use the old one or get a new one....Hope this helps...If your existing fauset is leacking, disconnect the drain line and clean the inside..stuff from the garbage disposal can plug the drain line causing faucet to leak....

Short answer? Buy another one and swap the whole unit out. At this price, you will not find replacement parts to the faucet proper. If the supply line (little flexible plastic hose) itself is leaking, yes this is a standardized part you can order from anywhere - get a new supply line. Make sure to buy the correct fitting sizes!

Buy some new Dramm rubber gasket washers for the female end. This solved my leaking problem.

Thank you, Richard. I apologize for this delayed response. Sorry, I don't know anything about the fittings; it was installed by a great handyman who occasionally visits our small town. All I know is that he spent about a half hour or less fitting it on, and the faucet works great. Never leaked. If I get more information, I'll let you know. The best to you! Maruta

I finally installed this faucet a couple weeks ago. We noticed that everytime we connect our portable dishwasher to it it leaks under the sink. I see water dripping from the center where the tubes go up into th ebody. Has anone ever seen this? Is there a fix? It only seems to happen when under pressure.
