Most Moen one-handle faucets produced since 2010 use the 1255 Duralast cartridge, which incorporates ceramic disc technology.
[1] The design goal is to maintain the temperature of the shower for safety and comfort reasons, even if the volume of water is reduced.
The operation is similar to the 1225 (above), though the cartridge is approximately 1 inch in diameter to allow space for the pressure balancing mechanism.
[citation needed] Unlike Moentrol, the Posi-Temp valve does not include a separate water volume control feature.
[8] Besides faucets and bath fixtures, other products manufactured by Moen include bathroom accessories such as towel bars and rings, toilet paper roll holders, and shower curtain rods.
