    I am not familiar with the type of faucet you have but usually the anti scald guard can be located on the stem and right under the handle. Remove handle and look for plastic or metal washer with limit stop. Remove it ( or adjust it ) and reinstall handle. Let me know how you did. Back to you. Milo

    Thank you it was easy I took out the screw in the end, removed short piece of pipe and adjusted the scald ring. This one you have to take it all the way off turn a little and then replace it. I checked to see if the water was as hot as needed. Then replaced the short piece of pipe put the screw back and put the handle back on. Thanks so much.
