Glacier Bay shower faucet/ hot water settings

[@Thomesius]

Plumber didn't bother to check this out apparently. Charged me $200 for luke warm showers until I ran across this video and fixed myself. With Coronavirus I would have been waiting another 3 months for the plumber to fix! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Excellent instructions. My plumber knew that some faucets have a temperature regulator but I don't think he understood how to fix it on the Glacier faucet, and I didn't think to check KZbin until he had already left. It's the spare bathroom and I never needed it until now, and I couldn't stand the thought of taking showers in tepid water. WTH was Glacier thinking when they did this? Anyway, thank you so much, you explained everything thoroughly, including that little grey piece that had me puzzled. 😃

GLADI COULD HELP

[@Brew311]

Home Depot's instruction read like Greek and I wanted to throw the instructions since it didn't make any sense. So, naturally KZbin came to the rescue. I discovered your video and 5 minutes later I have really hot water. Thank you.

At my apartment I’ve had the maintenance guys come twice still no hot water. I watched your video hot water now in my shower am very happy thank you for this

[@salsapete2132]

That is awesome, the manufacturer which is part of Home Depot does not to my knowledge add thee steps to the installation guide. So happy the Video Helped.

[@g700a]

I can't thank you enough for this. I bought a house a couple of years ago and have taken lukewarm showers the past two winters b/c the faucet wouldn't go up past the middle. I've had a million other things to fix so that was far down on my list to look into/fix. 2020 was enough of a pain in my rear that I couldn't take it anymore so I looked for a video and found yours. Now cold showers won't be something I have to deal with anymore! 😁😁 Happy New Year. God bless!

Wow I Happy it helped you I hope you all are healthy and safe and may God watch over you and your family throughout 2021.

[@jacobstlouis1644]

I've got a brand new same brand and model shower faucet and after watching this video I removed the handle and the plastic thing that goes over the settings and got to the water settings and remove the red ring and then turn it and reinstall all three parts and this video helped out alot and I would recommend it for anyone who has a glacier Bay faucet and has the cold water problem to watch this

[@chanros]

After seeing this, my plumber is fired. He replaced the water heater and all the faucets in the house. I asked him about several things relating to the shower faucet including the fact that the flow is weak. Unfortunately, at the time I did not notice the shower water wasn't getting as warm as that in the kitchen and bathroom sink which nearly 130 degrees (no kids.) When he checked it out, he said he need to turn up the temperature on the water heater. I thought his assessment was strange. I'm a first-time homeowner so I am naive to such I didn't question his profession nor expertise. But I remember while living in an apartment, the shower faucets were replaced with single levers. I didn't give the maintenance man time to punch the clock the water was cold. He did something fancy with the shower faucet and then I had hot water. I'm tempted to fix it myself but I have very little confidence. I'll watch this again. Thank you.

[@salsapete2132]

myaification, if you want to save money lower your water heater back to 120 degrees otherwise your water heater will frequently turn on which is one of the most costly appliances in your home along with the Ac / heater, Dryer, stove/ oven and pool pumps. It is very simple to do just follow the video and safeguard all screws and parts, you should be fine.

[@chanros]

@@salsapete2132 Okay, I will do that. Thank you.

[@chanros]

The hardest part was finding the right size Allen wrench. Very easy after that. Now I enjoy a warm shower. Again, Thank You.

[@kgF6BDZ28]

These come with the right size Allen wrench! Guess why the plumbers toss them…..so you have to pay them a service call fee.

[@antoniocamacho1141]

thanks for a great video. Does that mean I can not control water temperature from the outside handle ? thanks !!!!

[@salsapete2132]

Yes the inner red adjust how much hot water you allow to your exterior shower valve. They must have had a lot of complaints in previous years so I believe by default during manufacturing and quality control they set extremely low to STA themselves but give very to no appropriate instructions on how to correct the issue. I am sure many owners have either hired a plumber or removed and returned the product. Or like me grinned and bearded it quickly during a nesasary shower.

I believe you can leave it the position but if you want to be safe and have an interior shut off valve do that but you should be fine working from the off position. I really don’t recall if I shut mine off or not. At interior master water junction box located in my garage.

Just had my bathroom finished today and notice that the handle only does a 90 degree turn instead of 180 degree even though the plate hows "H" on the top and "C" on the bottom. Is that normal or my plumber did it wrong? Its also not very hot so I have to try this as well but want to know about the 1/4 turn vs the 1/2 turn.

[@salsapete2132]

misaza26 Curious was this the problem? So far over 20 said yes since my post. If so Glacier bay needs to correct this at the manufacturing quality control point. There could be numerous unnecessary returns as well as very good Plummer’s who may have customers due to this issue.

How do you unclog it if debris gets into the set

[@michellemejiakempton2806]

when im unscrewing the lever my shower starts running water, what does that mean?

[@salsapete2132]

it may mean that the faucet is in an open position or there is residual water in the lines. it is best prior to unscrewing the allen wrench below. make sure it is in the off position. unscrewing will take place under the faucet. if you shut off the main it will not matter. if a washer or o ring is kinked or mis applied this can also cause a leak. If that is the case you may have to call upon a professional plumber or someone with great knowledge in plumbing. Good luck , Try to re trace your steps and hopefully you can discover what may be the problem. God Bless
