Price Pfister NO SET SCREW Shower Handle Removal

How to remove a shower handle from a Price Pfister Shower Handle with NO SET SCREW --- allowing for access to the temperature control for the shower to be increased or decreased.

Thanks a ton. I thought I broke something inside the handle where it was just a matter of tightening a screw. I was unable to figure out how to get the handle out for a replacement. Your video helped me open the handle and identify the root cause of the problem.

Excellent info! thank you! one quick note: There is a Philips bit end provided for the adjustment. Last but not least...Turn the channel locks around, you are using them the wrong way. Dont worry we all do it!

[@360vision]

oh my god FINALLY. i’ve been looking for this fix forever. thank you so much

[@beakt]

Thanks for posting this. I have a similar handle and I had no clue how to take it off. After watching this video, I removed it in seconds and was then able to fix the problem!

[@chrishensley3065]

Fyi, water pipe pliers are made to tighten in one direction, opposite of what you did in the video. Even though I cringed a bit, this video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

God bless you for taking the time to share this with us. Saved me a ton of time.

Turning that piece sticking out turns the water on. You have to take that screw out and that piece out then pop the little black piece at the back off and rotate it counter clockwise for hotter. It has teeth so has to be pulled out and turned and put back in.

Thank you good sir! For years just kept turning the dang handle to adjust and never knew to take it off to reset it. Now the whole thing doesn't turn when I try to turn on to hot or to turn off.😂

[@nikkistruth2405]

Exactly what I was looking for including temp

[@theroseband]

Thank you!! I was struggling 😅

[@tobeurichard8969]

[@PMreviews23]

[@clayj.8411]

Thanks Paul! Gotta work together man, right?!?

[@Iron-Nullius]

You are a godsend. Thank you!

[@chadmaurer7885]

Thank you for this ...I ended up calling the company for a replacement part...now they make that stem brass instead of a plastic insert
Covered by the warranty

[@danny13fox43]

Do you know the part number or a link?

[@jacquelinebancroft7442]

Great video - I want warmer water- in this video you didn’t indicate if you were turning the pliers for warmer or cooler?

[@clayj.8411]

I have a video with temp adjustment too... ua-cam.com/video/TY9RWvxdscc/v-deo.htmlsi=7flvrbxFVZ159Ymw

I hope this works for Glacier bay handle. Thanks for the video

[@mariojaimes713HTX]

THANKS! REALLY HELPED 👍🏽👍🏽

[@victimsofreligion2020]

I fixed my hot 💧 thank you!!!

[@kingboss50]

Also to change the temps higher, you need to take off the extender and screw, pop the little round tab that says to move to lower and go the opposite way, move the dial to the left so the handle goes further up. Hot water from hell and put everything back together. The handle won't align straight now that the dial has moved. Wife wanted hotter water.

[@clayj.8411]

I also have a video to help with the temp adjust... ua-cam.com/video/TY9RWvxdscc/v-deo.htmlsi=7flvrbxFVZ159Ymw

[@LynnLopez-i4l]

What model is that?

[@libbyquackenbush2400]

I’m having trouble getting it to unscrew… any suggestions? Tried using an adjustable wrench with rag to protect metal, but it just slips😫🫠

[@priyapriyaa]

Yeah finally thank you so much

[@mikepascal5223]

Mine is a bit different also with no set screw. When I turn it to the left I hear a pop, like plastic popping, now I really have no clue. round handle almost looks like two pieces I just dont want to break it

[@johnnyvillegas5635]

Do you know the part number for this type.

[@mirelurk-fish7387]

A lot of companies are doing away with the set screw now because hard water would corrode it so bad there’s no way to get the set screw out haha

[@786otto]

Actually there is a plastic ring that needs to be moved after unscrewing traded plastick nyple.

[@dynaordie8083]

Thx!
