Hi,

Just completed converting a bathtub to a shower, the new mixing valve for some reason has the hot and cold waters reversed, any suggestions how to fix this, the sink was removed during the remodel and is reversed also but I can just swap the h and c off the faucet knobs, not sure what to do with the shower though...

Do you have hot water to the toilet too?

Nope, just cold... I was thinking that the handle was slipped on incorrectly causing the h/c to be switched?

If your shower valve's a Moen the repair is a simple one. Remove the handle and rotate the cartridge 180 degrees. Reassemble and try it now. If not we need the name of the valve. Regards, Tom
