Wow, I have done this entire rehab without needing advice, and I get stuck right at the end on a faucet!
I will be redoing my bathroom completely, so the only thing I got new was the sink and vanity. I re-plumbed entire house with PEX and everything is beautiful except that bath faucet from hell.
It's a moen, the acrylic 2 handle type. I bought new cartridges because the old ones were shot. 1224 is supposed to be the for hot and cold. I put everything together, and cool-no leaks. But... the cold knob turns the wrong way!
There is a notch in the cartridge that lines up with the faucet body, so that can't be wrong, And the stem will also only fit on the cartridge one way. I am so confused as to how to correct this. It is a 2 handle bath/shower faucet and moen only makes one for this, unless you have a roman faucet and I don't. And the ones I removed are the same as the new ones. I switched the stems and it made no difference either. They both turn counter clockwise.
I never paid attention to how it worked before, but I believe it was correct or I would have noticed because I hate that. The old cartridges are identical to one another, just like the new ones.
Yes, I am brain drained by now after 4 months of this, so can anyone give me any insight? I would surely appreciate it.
I am on the final stretch before moving in, and this needs completed before the floor and vanity can go in.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if it is something obvious... it has me stumped.
I will be posting pictures asap of the house- the transformation is astounding!
