## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are Cartridge Nut and Cartridge Retainer the same thing ?**
A: I believe they do refer to the same thing. Different manufacturer's have different assemblies for shower only and shower/tub faucets, but generally the mechanics ought to be similar. If you're pulling one of the cartridges that this tool is used for be patient and don't be afraid to use a little force. I've had these stick even though the retainer was in my hand and it should have slid out. Good luck.

**Q: Anyone know if this Moen 14272 cartridge retainer nut removal tool is identical to the Moen 179120 tool? Both appear identical via online searches.**
A: Hello and thank you for your interest in Moen products.  The Moen 14272 Cartridge Retainer Removal Tool for 2 Handle Cartridge is also the same retail number as 179120.

**Q: Will this remove a Moen 1258?**
A: Hello and thank you for your interest in Moen products.  The Moen 14272 retainer removal tool is used to unthread the recessed retainer nut on some Moen faucet models. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call us at 800-289-6636.  Our business hours are 8:00 am - 7:00 pm Monday through Friday (EST).

**Q: I can use a locking wrench on this right, it won't bend/break?**
A: Hi:
First of all the tool from is like a tube with a slot full length.  I would be very cautious using any force that would collapse the tube from the side.  The valve assembly really should not be that tight!  I do not think there should be any corossion between the plastic  and brass of the faucet base.  When I used the wrench I only tightened by hand.

Instead of a locking wrench I would consider a hole drilled through end at a  right angle to the split and use a 1/4 in bolt or rod.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by D***K on September 3, 2025*

Simple but works wonderful!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nothing fancy, but it works.
*by K***R on December 29, 2013*

This tool is needed to replace the cartridge (or stem) of some but not all Moen 2-handle faucets. According to the Moen website, it is needed for the 8" spread faucets to remove a cartridge retainer nut. I tried several other tools to remove the nut, but none worked. Ordered the #14272 tool on Amazon for $5 and free shipping. It is a 1/16" thick x 4" length of steel rolled into 7/8" OS diameter tube with two tabs on one end that fit into notches of the retainer nut. It is well made, does not flex, and has no sharp burs. It worked just as it should and removed the retainer nut and tightened the nut after the cartridge was replaced.Several reviewers rated the tool poorly because the plastic retainer nut broke; this was poor design of the retainer nut, not the tool. The tool is much more robust than the retainer nut. I give the tool 5 stars not because it is fancy or something I can't live without, but because it functions as it should and is reasonably priced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfect, but it's a tool you hope you never need
*by S***T on December 20, 2024*

My house is 20 years old and it was built originally with all Moen hardware. I had one shower that started to leak and needed to replace the cartridge in it. I tore it apart and tried to remove the old one without this tool (channel locks didn't work) and failed. I bought this and it worked really well. Now I have this in my tool box and may never need it again. That said it's built great and works perfectly. If you need one this one will work but I hope you don't ever need one.
