In all the post I found about replacing a Moen 1200/1225 single handle
shower cartridge, none of them mentioned that if you put it in upside
down, the hot will be on the right instead of the left.

I could not find anything on the cartridge itself, the instruction
sheet that came with it, or anywhere else that tells you which way it
should go in. I (of course) put mine in upside-down and had to pull it
all out to reverse it.

I only hope that this helps someone else avoid my mistake. Or, if
someone how knows about this part could post a reply to tell the rest
of us how to tell which way it up.

They apparently look very much alike.

Could it be a half turn off, or 180 degrees.

Yep, amazing. I've done it both times I've installed the things.
The first time I'd replaced the entire mixing valve and thought I'd
crossed the hot and cold pipes.

sheet that came with it, or anywhere else that tells you which way it

It's mentioned in the instructions that came with the Moen
cartridge. You didn't have to pull it, just spin it 180 degrees.
The stop is on the knob, so with the knob off it turns all the way
around.

Don't care. If it's wrong, just turn it 180. Then put the knob
back on. ;-)

Just what I did. But I'm a newbie at plumbing and when it came out
crossed up I thought I'd really done something terrible.

Thanks for the advice.

You cant tell which side is up on the 1200 if you turn the water on and its wrong then take the handle off then take a pair of pliers pull the stem out and turn it 180° which is half of a circle to the left And then the hot water will be on the left side and the cold water will be on the right side Because I just replaced my 1200 cartridge yesterday on On 13 January 2021 thank God I didnt have to pull the whole cartridge out be careful when turning the stem that water can be scolding
