    Cold & hot water mixing
    No lines are plumbed together, but they mix somewhere. Faucets are two handle except tub is single. Is this where problem at & is it the cartridge?

    Just what is the problem, you didn't give much info as to what was wrong.

    Is it that your tub faucet is not mixing the water or it will not get the right temperature.
