Discuss New cartridge in. Why does the shower still drip? in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net

Just put in a brand new Moen shower cartridge and put the tap (single lever) back on. Its in the "off" position but still drips. Why?
 
Could be the body has a defect / split in the face / mating surface etc so the water is bypassing the cartridge or could be a bad cartridge
