Second question in a day... sorry, but I have been wondering about this for some time. My house is 3 years old, and has Delta fixtures in the showers. I am not sure how to properly say this so, here goes. It's one of those typical entry level home, builder installed things where there is only one turn on dial and it goes counterclockwise the turn on, with Hot being all the way on. The problem is that when it is turned as far as it can go, it is just not very hot. The water heater is set fine, as the sinks are Very HOT. Is there anyway to adjust these so that I can actually have a hot shower? I promise no more questions today ;)

This could be a toughie. If you have Deltas regular valve I would check the RP19807 Rotational Limit Stop to see if it's adjusted properly. If you have a Delta Mix-Bath or Scald Guard Bath GValve I would check the #574 Balance Spool Assembly for the correct setting. Not knowing the rxact model of your faucet puts me at a disadvantage. Regards. Tom

Fantastic. I am not sure which it is, but at least I know that it actually is something that can be adjusted. Thanks so much for your advice.
