I’m not sure how people survived without KZbin. Thanks for the easy fix.

[@chan13153]

It was designed like that so people would be forced to call in plumbers for very very simple fixes. Without youtube who would know this besides someone who does it for a living. They could have easily designed this in a way that was more consumer friendly.

[@MAGAMAN]

Trial and error. Now you can just jump on youtube and most of the idiots give you the wrong information. Luckily, this guy is mostly right (just don't ask him for directions).

[@johnnyfletcher1961]

That comment is accurate.

[@EricCanty-g9y]

Exactly my thoughts.... 😂

[@tima982]

Not our generation 100% agreed

[@secretaryandactress]

I had this exact problem with a new tub. I haven't used it in a very long time. The water never got hot but my sink next to it has hot water. So I called the man that installed fixtures in the new bathroom and he told me to check KZbin for adjusting the mixing valve. I hope that's the problem but it looks easy to rectify. Thanks for the video!

[@dtape]

This video was the perfect solution for my situation. Same manufacturer Delta but slightly different handle, but the process to adjust temperature was exactly the same. Thank you for making this video.

[@blackjack3933]

Thank you!!! I'm a new homeowner and I knew this should be a simple fix. Such a lifesaver+

[@RicardoHernandez-lo2tb]

Thanks sir for the valuable information, you saved me hours of frustration. I followed your steps and solved the problem of not getting enough hot water on the shower.

[@THEJAESTER718]

Took me about 15-20 seconds with this fix and saved me 💰!!! Many thanks 😊

[@shahadib4516]

Thank you! Fixed my shower after 2 years of lukewarm water. 😊

[@jasonsmit6993]

Suggestion, use clockwise/counter instead or “right/left”. Thanks for the vid! I got two of these to adjust today.

[@julionorman8422]

Good term. Also, Allen wrench is 7/64, I believe

[@adilzegrati1184]

I loved the way you explained everything, not like some of them; they say bunch of non-sense

[@stnguyen1234]

Hey thanks for the video, my shower/bathtub faucet was leaking like crazy and after I installed a brand new delta cartridge the temps were way to cold. Thanks for showing this easy fix!

[@2024pajntoo]

Holy..u help solve my issue.ive tried ao many time why is not hot ..after your video, j was able to adjust the valve and got hot water.thanks to your video,now an woman can repair something for free.

[@StarrTile]

😂😂😂

[@twoweeledsoto6072]

This fixed the issue. It's just an adjustment. Mine is new, so pulling and turning was effortless. Thanks a lot.

[@las.estrellas]

You are an absolute lifesaver! Thank you so much! I was going to cry if I had to take one more lukewarm shower, but this fixed my problem completely :)

[@lifewithimperfections]

Girl same!!! Thank goodness I found this video!

[@trishawillis223]

Myself!!! My plumbers assistant didn't set it right. I love the fact that it's there. Especially for children!

[@JohnKennedy-kh3eu]

Mannnnn! Thank You. I was worried like crazy. From: Miami, FL. 🌴

[@ryankrabill3111]

Perfect solution...thank you! Left turn = hot water

[@YOLOnyc]

Thank you - learned from your video how these delta valves are adjusted, would never have guessed to pull out the adjuster-knob - thought I was missing the max-temp stopper that is used in all the Moen and other valves.

[@GraceHouse-b7g]

this worked for me - made me feel very handy (i'm a prissy 64 year old woman)!

[@derekj180]

Just Helped me also! Didn’t even need the model # Short and understanding

[@MyDelight100]

This was exactly what I needed to know. I was feeezing my booty off in the winter and was about to have a plumber come and take a look

[@chan13153]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was purposely designed that way so people would call plumbers for very very simply fixes.. Besides plumbers who would really know you can adjust this. I didn't know. I only found out about it now because I had to replace the cartridge because the bathroom was leaking and the new one was too cold so I did a search on youtube. The new cartridge didn't even come with instruction manual about how to adjust the water temperature. Without youtube/internet I wouldn't have been able to figure this out and it's so simple.

[@mandolinut]

Your advice and presentation did the trick. THanks so much.

[@lelandls6t385]

Thank you for this video, everything went as you said. 10/10! Recommend this video.

[@MartinPlanner2]

this is why i like the 2 knob kinds, everyone can set their own mixing ratio, from 1:0 to 0:1 hot:cold :D i never really understood these american shower valves...more plumbing work, more moving parts in the mixer, only to have a single axis motion, instead of two seperate turnvalves OR a two axis ceramix mixer...but hey, to each their own :D good vid, even with the blabbermixup :D keep up being awesome!

[@apex007]

those don't pressure balance. So when someone flushes the toilet, the cold water disappears and you get scalded

[@MartinPlanner2]

@@apex007 usually 8bar presure is enough, and toilets have slow release valves so i never ran into this problem so far, however, i get it, i did not know about that, so thank you.

[@christopherortiz4084]

Thanks for the help.. was pretty easy to do after watching your video 👍👍

[@garyw3499]

Thank you so much! The luke warm water was horrendous!

Thank you life save...literally fixed mine in 2 minutes 🙏

[@lukaszs4805]

Thank you for the video, I was able to fix the problem and get hot water.

[@Soniclove21]

Good Night it looks just like my delta that I installed but I didn’t know I had to adjust knob. Thank you for the help. Model: RP46074

[@bikerbob1980]

Wow! Thanks a million. You would think the package would tell you about the adjustment!!

[@StarrTile]

I think it is an instruction manual, but you would have to turn in your man card if you read it

[@bikerbob1980]

@@StarrTile i ordered from Amazon the packaging had zero on adjustment. All it said was to make sure it was inserted correctly. Thanks again!

[@StarrTile]

That's the predicament that people get into ordering online from third parties, if you order through the manufacturer then you will get all the instructions needed

[@mikeh3019]

@@StarrTile $18 on Amazon or $53 at Home Depot. I pick Amazon plus a KZbin search :)

[@justmeagain9051]

If I may add you'll want a washcloth or something similar blocking the drain to catch the very small screw should it fall all the way out. Something in white would be ideal or even an old school plug.

[@migueltirado346]

Thank you for the help

[@GusScottExley]

Best channel on KZbin.

[@castillomaria768]

The handle is in wrong way, is suppost to open from cool side to hot side, the position is in right.

[@MrMillrightman]

yea if you want the water to be at its hotest you turn to the LEFT

[@tlpeddie99]

I turned the dial all the way one way and got cold water. I turned the opposite way and got warm water, but not hot. Any suggestions?

[@adidaelm2001]

Thanks for info... I'm all ready to go!!

[@Michael_Wild]

I have this mixing control valve installed in my shower, but I’m still getting lukewarm water even when it’s turned all the way to the hot side. You may say my water heater temperature is too cold, but that is not the issue. The water coming out of the sinks is scalding, hot, way too hot to be safe. In order to get hot water coming out of the mixing control valve. I need to turn my water heater temperature, even hotter, which I do not want to do for safety and energy reasons. Is there a way to get this Fossett adjusted to put out even more hot water?

[@lorifortune]

I’m having the same issue. Did you ever figure this out?

[@PhatBoySteven]

I know this is years old but im staying at an airbnb and the water is freezing even at the hottest so i tried this and nothing changed. Every other shower in the house gets hot water but for some reason not the master. Any clues on what that could be?

[@docmakwa]

No Tony, you aren't an idiot but a procrastinator (aka "Man Syndrome"). Glad I found your video, showed me how to correct the same issue that I was experiencing. Thanks for posting this!

[@carriev6803]

Thank you, this fixed our shower!!

[@JUrqui]

great video really helped me with my issue thanks .

[@darreldodson9219]

I will be changing my faucet out, Here in our place, if it's hot outside them we have to put more cold water, but if it is cold then we use 3/4 hot water. I turn mine and it did not get very hot. That's why I say I'm changing my out with something else.

[@harmagician1]

Thank you!

[@michaelross2093]

Thank you.

[@SB43T]

Thanks, I fixed hot water issue after replacing cartridge.

[@LeeAsh7]

Can the the temperature be adjusted before the part is installed?

[@dizzolve]

perfect video for me. thx

[@sleepycat9661]

Thank you, very helpful!

[@burtrussel1535]

Thanks!

[@SB43T]

You are right, turn left for hotter water

[@assassinblackop]

Made me and the wife very happy in our super hot shower. Thanks!

[@MrSabinashouston]

Handle is the wrong position if you can see in the left side of back plate is off, cold and hot

[@davidriley3422]

My valve was already all the way to the left. How do I get it even hotter if I can’t move it even more left?

[@lorifortune]

I’m having the same issue. Did you ever solve this?

[@lorifortune]

Hi! I recently replaced my cartridge. Adjusted it to the hottest temp, didn’t change anything else. But, it’s not getting as hot as it did before. Is there anything I can do without adjusting the hot water heater temp?

[@philacesphilaces8116]

Thanks a lot!

My girlfriend will now be able to enjoy her scolding hot showers thank you 😅😂

[@armandomadrigal9793]

Is the handle in the wrong position

[@skylarnathanson4711]

Thank you!!!

[@NC0880]

Thank you so much!!

[@scallaway]

I bought the exact faucet shown in the video. No hot water comes out. I replaced the cartridge and...no hot water comes out. (When the cartridge is removed, the hot water comes out very forcefully. So, what are the odds the original and the replacement cartridge were both broken in the same manner?? Yet, no one I've spoken with (including Delta) has ever heard of this happening. Plz help.

[@richdesign2000]

Isn't the handle backwards?

[@brianmiranda8121]

Thanks. It helped a lot.

[@Lovesuelee]

I can pull it but it’s not turning around?

[@rnr442]

Make up your mind is it the left or the right

[@andyh2561]

Thanks for the video!

[@christiano.9175]

Thank you.. Great job!!

[@tima982]

Thank you for info 👍

[@theivanpe]

It won’t budge after I lose the hex screw with the Allen. Does the water need to be off?

[@StarrTile]

The water does not need to be off but for safety reasons you might want to do that. When it was first installed that had a little bit of grease in it but sounds like it's gone...maybe a shot of wd40

[@vincenttorres708]

Whose on first ??? Good info...

[@raz3032]

What if my cartridge is not adjustable?

[@elithegreat6463]

Great video, I need to get it hotter on mine. However, you need to remember that people are generally Stupid, and ignorant, about left or right when in such a design, it may help to say, Clockwise or counterclockwise when explaining. 👍

[@imwidy3309]

On one of my showers it’s as easy as this. However the other shower (same delta as the first shower) has a white thing covering up the hole. Any thoughts?

[@StarrTile]

I would suggest calling Delta, they have outstanding customer support

[@konsejitos]

I have the problem in this valve were my water is either scorching hot or hot, no cold water, and......they are reversed, if I turn towards cold is hot and if turn towards hot is cold. Ugh!

[@captainhighbury1806]

Do we need to shut the water supply before opening up and adjust the setting?

[@StarrTile]

No

[@JorgeRamos-xw6dy]

Does anyone know the size of the allen wrench? Thank

[@b_rad5678]

My issue is strange there is no medium. Its either super hot or all cold. This just started a few weeks ago. Delta unit is less than 1 year old.. Thoughts?

Call Delta.....one of the best at customer service 👍

[@javiercoronado2055]

What type questions can you answer?

[@LightningxCafeRacer]

You guys would all be surprised what a Philips head screw driver would do 😂😂

[@byronicgamer4240]

Am i the only one with this problem? On this same cartridge the water cut off that should be when you pull it all the way down is in the middle of the turn and if you turn it up or down that cuts the water on. Anyone know how to fix that?

[@arturodelao2135]

I have that same model unit, I've bought 2 pcs already and both do the same thing. Once I replace the unit and turn handle to off, water still runs, it never shuts off completely. can you help?

[@StarrTile]

I would suggest calling Delta, they have excellent customer service staff

[@nickcarone4987]

How do you fix a delta fixture if you install hot and cold water back wards

[@StarrTile]

You don't have much of a choice you got to reverse the pipes at some point I would probably do it below the inlet rather than right at them

[@alixalix4205]

Excelente

[@jessicagore6542]

No longer have Allen wrench it came with. What size? I’ve used a few and won’t work.

[@sincity313]

3/32

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

1/18"

[@patrickmccracken9185]

You turn to the LEFT for warmer water. You state backwards in the video.

[@bobbybobbo2359]

Thx. I think 😂 am I right? Or, am I left?

[@ryanab01]

The only thing I've learned is that Delta faucets suck bog water. It took me forever to figure out that the allen wrench is 3/32nds. Then I can't turn the cartridge around. No video shows my model. I'll end up having to pay someone else hundreds to fix this.

[@thefunkopotamus]

You might want maximum cold if your water heater is broken and you still want to take a shower…
