    Glacier bay single handle w/ no hot water
    I bought a house out of foreclosure and it has had some issues. I take on every task w/ the idea that the previous owner has tampered w/ some things...
    Anyhow, the cold water turns on fine, but when I turn it to hot, the water just tapers off to a slight, cold stream. Pulling the cartridge out, it would seem that there is both hot and cold water coming out of their perspective pipes. I'm not sure if this is indicative of a bad cartridge, bad springs or neither.

    Thanks for any advice.

    It's a shower
    The cartridge # says gobo 21411

    I've just replaced the cartridge, that didn't work.

    Milo, where is the hot water angle stop?

    Did you flush the faucet before installing the new cartridge if not, remove the cartridge turn on the water for a few seconds, apply some plumber’s grease on the O rings, install the cartridge try and see, if not fixed will suggest to return the cartridge to the sore and get a replacement, good luck.
