ADJUST HOT WATER for SHOWER VALVE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2018
- 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!
I was at a hotel with barely any hot water looked up “how to get more hot water from shower faucet” and was not disappointed when it was the same one from the video! 1 win for me 0 for the hotel.
The guy who fixed the leak in our faucet "fixed" the hot water inhibitor. It's so cold it's barely tolerable for showering. I've been boiling water for baths. This video saved me so much stress. Thank you!
I just fixed it and had my first truly hot shower in almost a month. Thank you again. Words can not describe the joy I'm feeling
I needed this, contractor never adjusted valve in my boys new shower. Saved me another day of them arguing with their sisters about sharing the girls bathroom!!!!
UA-cam University never fails! Such a quick and easy fix! Thanks for posting this.
You're welcome ✌🏻
AHHHHH. I can finally have a HOT shower or bath!!!!!!!!! It was literally going to take my maintenance company an ENTIRE month to do what took me about 2 minutes once I found the right size tool. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Like the other comment said - dude you ROCK!
Wow I thought I was going to have a huge problem in my new home ! Thank you. “We have hot water!!!!”
Me too ! I love my hot showers !!
I was only getting burning water on a new install
It’s now beautiful temperature cold & hot
Thanks to this video 👍🏻 many thanks for sharing
You saved my lease!!! I was about to move behind this issue. My maintenance came and literally turned the place upside down and told me I should have hotter water bc he did that. I was beyond upset. But thanks to you.. it is well with these aging muscles. Ty king.
Thank you. Single mom here and I needed to adjust this and didn’t want to pay lol!! Thanks for saving me $85
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.
DONE! Hot water FIXED in about 2 minutes with the right tools. ...used #2 pretty tiny allen wrench. ...had to do this in my other apartment too, as they probably want hot water savings, or as protection from scolding tenants, or misinformed maintenance guys.
You are the f'in man. We just moved into a new home and my wife was disappointed to find out her jetted tub didn't get very hot. Watched this 3 minute video and fixed it within 10 minutes. My stop limit valve was a little different looking than this but seeing how it functioned I was able to easily figure it out. Thank you my wife is both impressed and excited :)
Thank you for this! I’m a young girl in my first place and everything house related seemed so overwhelming at first. Following this video though I was able to figure out/fix my cold shower issue. Thank you so much!
I have the exact same one, first vid I searched! Thanks! Just need to order an Allen key set now
i did enjoy, we had to wait for our plumber for 3 days for hotter water and if i knew the valve was right there i would've done it myself. now i can thanks pops 😂
I just put this exact shower kit in and freaked out because I had almost no hot water pressure. I would have never figured it out without your video. Thanks!
I just had my first hot shower in almost a year, sir, thank you.
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. Great video, well presented and clear.... thank you for posting, we now have nice hot showers and after two ruptured disk back surgeries I thank you after a long days work at UPS.
I appreciate the closeup
What would we do without UA-cam and nice folks like you?? Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Thank you so much you saved me money plus headache. Guy who installed it for me was telling me he needs to break the tiles or cut the wall from other room.
Thanks! Just bought a home and everywhere but the shower had hot water. Guess that was missed in inspection. You helped me solve my problem! Looks new hardware was installed without adjustments.
Thank you so much!!! We just had a bathroom remodel only to find out that the shower wasn’t getting warm. You have saved the day! Thanks again!
Thanks. The instructions say to remove the ring but don't mention taking off the little screw and the shaft. That makes a huge difference. Thanks again.
a plumber told me I needed a mixer to get hot water to the shower but after watching your video I fixed it myself, the wife says thank you she can take a HOT shower again only turned the handle screw about one or 2 turns so it didn't fall out but had towel over drain just in case Thanks for the video
I was able to fix our newly installed showers and now we can take hot showers again! Thank you!!
Just getting ready to install one and read the "directions"...yeah...first video I saw and spot on great explanation and capture of the work. THANK YOU
Dude. This was easier than I imagined. Thanks for making this video!
I moved into this house a year ago and always wondered why the shower doesn’t get as hot as the sinks do haha. Appreciate the help sir!
I've been freezing for 2 years for nothing. Thanks for the video.
This is such a great video. So easy to follow and easy to make the change. Be careful...you can make a blazing hot shower after watching this! Thank you so much.
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
I have seriously been filling my bath from the sink for a year to get a decent hot bath. You're the best man!
Thank you, sir! Very much! I got it done following your easy and to the point instructions. Now my family can shower in warm water. Whoo!
I sometimes put painters tape over the drain when dealing with small parts so I don't accidentally drop it down the drain
I was thinking put a towel or rag over the drain first. The tape will ensure it doesn’t get moved.
I just lost that little screw down the drain a minute ago 😂 time to go to the hardware store
Thanks so much for this video….it really helped me with the problem….i now have hot water in my shower….😊
This was very helpful. I replaced a shower and was living with people frustrated with my work.
You’re a literal lifesaver
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 truly thank you so much, I have very hot water in my shower now. Very very helpful And my wife thanks you.
Woohoo. I did it. Thank you. I thought I had to buy a new handle/cartridge. Nope! Not quite as tight as I'd like it and I'm afraid the handle will come off but we'll see. Don't think I got that tube "this portion" at around 2:14 back on quite right either. It doesn't lock into place or it's not held by anything, but hope this will work. Water is HOT! Thank you!
you're a hero man, I didn't wanna pay for a plumber and now I don't have to
worked like a sharm. Once I got that initial hex screw, I felt like I was in over my head but then I saw this video. Thanks for the help!
Thanks brotha. My apartments won't fix the issue after a month on the work order. Gonna do it myself.
Thank you very much. We just happened to have the same Delta shower valve. It went just the way you demonstrated.
Thank you. Just moved into a new house and the builders had this at the lowest temp. Been trying to figure out why my shower was like warm and my sink water was scalding hot.
This fix worked for me. The pieces inside were a little different for mine, but this was close enough. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Instructions were super easy to follow and I was able to ajust the temperature. Your the best!!😊
DIDO!!!
Great video! Simple, to the point, gets the job done. Keep up the great work!
Just did my shower after watching your video, thank you!!
Thank you for the video. It was exactly what I needed to know! 😮Oh, the blue ring turns, not the black gear type things inside! 🧐I was trying to turn them. Thank God the sleeve didn't come off when I tried it, otherwise, I would be buying another set right now!👷🏽♀️
This could not have been more helpful. I respect appreciate this video.
Thank you for posting. You saved me a service call. 👍🏼👍🏼
Your video munch helpful compare to instructions that I read! Thank You
Thanks for uploading this. It made figuring out why I had no hot water easy.
Thanks!!! Scalding hot showers here I come!
Great video! These are often called casettes or magazines.
Great i was looking for the correct adjustment on the valve and i guess i have it on the opposite side/backward lol need to change it around so stop is at the correct spot. Thanks and have good day
This looks very helpful! Ours was set to max 80°f!
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 .
Awesome, this helped me in 2022. Thank you.
This video was perfect and made it so easy for me to fix my cold water problem. My wife is happy with me! Yay! :)
Thank you, I have been taking cold showers for the past 3 months we moved here.
This was extremely helpful it only takes 2 mins! This changed my whole shower experience!!
Nice. I thought I was going to have to cut a whole in my shower wall to find the valves
Saved me so much time of troubleshooting! Thank you!
Very detailed , yet succinct . Thank you
Thanks for this! Worked perfectly and saved me a call to the plumber
Great video! All the other Videos didn’t depict my shower cartridge but this one was on the money!
This is just what I needed and it worked perfectly for me. Thank you!
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.
Thanks! My new bathroom shower is luke warm at most. Now to get some hot water!
Thankyou so much for this video. My wife and in laws thank you as well!
helps me resolving issue with water adjustment ... good work ..
This was very helpful, thank you!
Just the video I was looking for,thank you!!!
Thanks for the video, it was very easy to follow and worked!
Wish I would have watched your video first. The other anti scald device did not look like mine. You are great!
Awesome dude! Thanks for the piece of knowledge!!
Thank you! Worked like a charm 😊
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Very helpful video. Thank you.
It was very good demonstration Sir 👍
Spot on! Thank you for this info!
That was for a Delta other brands have a totally different way but still mine the idea of limiting too much hot water because you don't want to get burned
Good stuff bro, was a big help. God bless you! 💯
gonna try to fix this will update thank you
I found that I didn't need to remove that trim collar. It seemed to be a bit of a struggle even for you, and mine didn't want to budge. But it was easy enough to slide the O-ring off and adjust the stop with the trim collar still on.
Very helpful video, thanks!
Thank you Logical One for that tip
Thank you this video help me out a lot.
Thank you and God bless you I break my hand why it doesn't work thanks to you I got a hot water God bless you
This video is great! Just fixed mine
This just helped me out so much!! God bless
thanks so much for this video! it was exactly what i needed.
Thank you!
OMG Thank you! after months with cold water this video saved me!
Thank You!
Awesome work! Thanks
Thank you so much. I didn't now that. You are great 👍
