ADJUST HOT WATER for SHOWER VALVE
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 :)
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
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!
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
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.
KZread University never fails! Such a quick and easy fix! Thanks for posting this.

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!
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!!!!
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!
I was able to fix our newly installed showers and now we can take hot showers again! Thank you!!
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.
I have seriously been filling my bath from the sink for a year to get a decent hot bath. You're the best man!
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.
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!
Thank you. Single mom here and I needed to adjust this and didn’t want to pay lol!! Thanks for saving me $85
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.
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 😂
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.
I just had my first hot shower in almost a year, sir, 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!
What would we do without KZread and nice folks like you?? Thanks for the tutorial!!!
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.
This was very helpful. I replaced a shower and was living with people frustrated with my work.

Thanks so much for this video….it really helped me with the problem….i now have hot water in my shower….😊
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
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!
I've been freezing for 2 years for nothing. Thanks for the video.
You’re a literal lifesaver
This could not have been more helpful. I respect appreciate this video.
I have the exact same one, first vid I searched! Thanks! Just need to order an Allen key set now

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
This fix worked for me. The pieces inside were a little different for mine, but this was close enough. Thanks!
Thanks for uploading this. It made figuring out why I had no hot water easy.
Great video! Simple, to the point, gets the job done. Keep up the great work!
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.
Thank you so much! Instructions were super easy to follow and I was able to ajust the temperature. Your the best!!😊

DIDO!!!
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
I truly thank you so much, I have very hot water in my shower now. Very very helpful And my wife thanks you.
Saved me so much time of troubleshooting! Thank you!
Thank you very much. We just happened to have the same Delta shower valve. It went just the way you demonstrated.
This was extremely helpful it only takes 2 mins! This changed my whole shower experience!!
Thanks!!! Scalding hot showers here I come!
Just did my shower after watching your video, thank you!!
Very detailed , yet succinct . Thank you
This is just what I needed and it worked perfectly for me. Thank you!
Thanks for the video, it was very easy to follow and worked!
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!👷🏽♀️
helps me resolving issue with water adjustment ... good work ..
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!
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. 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.
Thank you for posting. You saved me a service call. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you, I have been taking cold showers for the past 3 months we moved here.
Your video munch helpful compare to instructions that I read! Thank You
Just the video I was looking for,thank you!!!
you're a hero man, I didn't wanna pay for a plumber and now I don't have to
Great video! All the other Videos didn’t depict my shower cartridge but this one was on the money!
Thankyou so much for this video. My wife and in laws thank you as well!
Thanks for this! Worked perfectly and saved me a call to the plumber
This was very helpful, thank you!
Thank you! Worked like a charm 😊
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
I appreciate the closeup
Good stuff bro, was a big help. God bless you! 💯
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
thanks so much for this video! it was exactly what i needed.
This looks very helpful! Ours was set to max 80°f!
Wish I would have watched your video first. The other anti scald device did not look like mine. You are great!
This just helped me out so much!! God bless
Thank you for posting this helpful video
OMG Thank you! after months with cold water this video saved me!
Awesome dude! Thanks for the piece of knowledge!!
Awesome, this helped me in 2022. Thank you.
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
Great video! These are often called casettes or magazines.
saved me some time watching this helpful video...thank you sir.
Thank you! Now I know how to adjust
Nice. I thought I was going to have to cut a whole in my shower wall to find the valves
Very helpful video. 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!

Thanks! My new bathroom shower is luke warm at most. Now to get some hot water!
Thank you sir this was a huge help
It was very good demonstration Sir 👍
This video is great! Just fixed mine
Spot on! Thank you for this info!
Thanks brotha. My apartments won't fix the issue after a month on the work order. Gonna do it myself.
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.
Thank you so much. I didn't now that. You are great 👍
Thank you this video help me a lot
Awesome work! Thanks
