New cartridge, if necessary When a shower faucet does not give out hot water, you can troubleshoot it step by step. A possible cause for this is that the valve stop for hot water is in a closed position. This prevents the heated water from passing through the valve. Other possible causes could be related to the temperature limit stop or to blockages in the valve. You can resolve these issues if you follow the steps below. Locate the hot water heater and tighten the valves to cut off the water going into the faucet. Turn the shower faucet back on and drain the remaining water in the pipes by allowing all the water to come out. With the flathead screwdriver, open the plastic cover located at the top part of the faucet handle. Pop off that plastic cover and set it aside. Inside the hole, locate the screw. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen it, and take it out along with the handle. Pull out the metal sleeve and unscrew backing plate. Align the faucet handle parts for easier reinstallation later.

Locate the valve stop for the hot water. If you find none, skip Steps 3 and 4 and proceed to Step 5. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the hot water valve stop, turn one quarter to any direction to make it into a vertical (closed) position.Siberian Husky For Sale Kc Mo Replace back the Faucet Handle in the same order you took it out.

Pull out the limit disk, if any, and sleeve. Pull the limit stop towards you and rotate it to the left to maximize the hot temperature. Stay within the range, otherwise the limit stop will not close or return to position.

Push it back to close. Check for water flow as in Step 4. If no hot water flows out, repeat Steps 1 and 2, skip Steps 3, 4, and 5, and proceed to Step 6. Pull out retaining clip that holds cartridge in place. With a pair of pliers, grasp on the tip of the old shower faucet, and pull it straight out from the valve. Allow excess water in the pipe to drain. Turn the water source back on and allow water to flow out of the faucet valve for about 3 to 5 minutes to flush out debris or any blockages. Inspect cartridge for any hard water deposits or broken parts. Clean or purchase a new cartridge, as necessary. Insert the cartridge into the faucet valve, and put in the retaining clip and backing plate. Return the plastic stops, if any, by aligning or orientating its market to the close position of the faucet. Put the faucet handle back on and reopen water valves controlling the flow of water into the house.Overall: 1.5" W x 1.5" D Overall: 1.77" H x 3.47" W x 1.75" D Brantford Tank Trip Lever
