    Rotating single tub faucet puts out no water when turned to hot
    I have a new home. The rotating single tub faucet when it rotates totally to the left, the water does not come out at all when it should be coming out very hot. There is NO hot water at all from this faucet. At the hot end, the water totally stops (rotated to the extreme left). Help, what is the answer?? Is it an easy problem for a plumber to fix?

    It appears you will need to adjust temperature adjustment ring. Do this:

    1. remove handle
    2. there is a plastic /metal ring that prevents handle from turning all the way to the left. Remove it
    3. take pliers and turn stem all the way to the left. See if, and how much, hot water you get
    4. reinstall handle

    Also, some faucets have stop / valve built into the body. See if that valve is open on hot side.
