Yes, the Moen 1224 and 1224B are indeed the exact same replacement cartridge.
Despite the slight variation in the model number, both designations refer to the identical 2-handle replacement cartridge designed for Moen faucets. This means they are completely interchangeable and can be used as direct replacements without any difference in fit or function.
These cartridges are essential components for controlling water flow and temperature in Moen two-handle fixtures. The "B" in the model number typically indicates a minor update in packaging, a production batch distinction, or a similar administrative detail, rather than any change to the product's design, fit, or functionality.
This equivalency offers several key benefits for consumers and professionals:
- Full Interchangeability: Homeowners and professionals can confidently use either the 1224 or 1224B cartridge as a direct replacement part for their Moen two-handle faucets.
- Simplified Selection: There is no need to differentiate between the two when purchasing a new cartridge; both will work identically.
- Consistent Performance: Both versions are designed to deliver the same reliable performance and durability, ensuring proper water flow and temperature control.
This simplifies the process of finding the correct replacement part, as you do not need to worry about the "B" designation when seeking a compatible cartridge.
