Most all shower valves are set in the factory for a LOW temperature on purpose as a safety measure. To get the MAX hot water coming you'll need to do this...although all valves are different.

Dude...you rock! I was so tired of lukewarm showers despite having steaming hot water in the rest of the apartment. I followed your instructions and it took me about two minutes to fix it. Didn't even have to turn off the water. Now I have HOT showers! Thank you!

You have helped me twice now, first when I first moved into my house with this particular and specific valve cartridge, and your video showed me how to adjust the hot vs cold, and now almost three years later, after a freeze split the cartridge down the side and I needed to replace it. I tried all over the place, even going to a professional plumbing supplier, and they couldn't even find this cartridge in their catalogue. Came here, got the product number for the set, and in under 2 minutes I had the replacement cartridge ordered.

The exact shower I have, the only difference is in the adjustment, I don't back out the hex till it comes out, only till I can slide off the handle and I place a wash towel of towel over the drain incase I fumble the screws.

I'm deployed at the moment and my awesome wife managed to move to our new home with all FIVE of the kids after closing got pushed back. One of my to-dos when I get back is basically this, going by what she told me I figure the valve is worn or scaled up because the water cycles from full-hot to full-cold when they try to use the upstairs faucet. Love the channel by the way

Thanks a million! My only suggestion would be to cover the floor drain prior to starting - to prevent any sudden "aw Shit" comments when one of those screws or even the small O-Ring disappears into the depths of the drainage system. 2nd suggestion - a dab of teflon lubricant on the large O-Ring. a dab the size of a pencil eraser is more than enough - obtain it from a friend that has a swimming pool, or a pool maintenance man. .... no sense in spending $10 of a 4 oz tube of the stuff that will last you 127 years

I am going to try this, We have scolding hot water in our sink faucets throughout the house, but both our showers only get up to comfortably warm for showers, we can never take a nice steamy hot shower. And have had water heater at 100% just to get showers warm enough to use. I hope this works on our model of fixture. Ill post back. If it works, I can turn the water heater down and save $$. UPDATE, Wow, it was even easier on my model, no washer to mess with. Max water temp was 102, made a small adjustment and now 115 to 116, does not sound like much of an increase but it is, Still room to adjust more if I need to when I turn the water heater down, Thanks! Finely a shower or bath that will actually help my aching back. I have been at this place for a year now and I could have been taking hot showers rather than pretty warm showers all that time.

@bobbygibboney35685 ай бұрын
No most shower valve components are packed individually including the cartridge, there is no setting done at the factory, it’s up to the installer ( plumber) to use a thermometer and adjust the stop to the desired temp. All replacement shower valve cartridges in america have a scald guard max stop of 120deg .

@r.c.8504 жыл бұрын
for my knowledge, if that shower temperature was working normal before, and now getting too hot, its because one side of the valve (cold side) is getting stuck with dirt. so if you close the hot side yes its going to balance the temperature, BUT eventually the cold side will get stuck completely and get hot again. Its better to replace the cartridge inside. Those valve or cartridge no last more than 5 years, bc the minerals in the water.
