    Mixing valve reversed
    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...

    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

Mixing valve tub/shower with no cold water [ 1 Answers ]

I'm flummoxed with a Delta, mid-1990's mixing valve. The valve has shut-off's via screw and locknut on cold and hot inlets, and I have good pressure there at both hot and cold side. But an inch-or-so away, at the main body holding the cartridge (I don't know the terminology, sorry), no cold...
