For shower faucets, look on the round plate (escutcheon) behind the handle, on the handle itself, or perhaps on the actual valve behind the wall.

How do I make my Delta shower water hotter?

Turn the Delta anti-scald valve to the left to increase the maximum temperature of the water, or turn it to the right to decrease the water temperature.

Why is shower water not hot enough?

If the water in the shower never gets hot, the problem may be with the temperature control on the water heater. Instead of the incoming cold water going straight to the burner for heating, a compromised dip tube may send cold water directly up to the hot water feed pipe. When that happens, you won't get any hot water.

How do you cut a tub spout?

How does a pull down diverter work?

The diverter retracts when the supply is shut off which causes the pressure against it to drop. But, if it's making a really good seal, without a showerhead, the piping isn't open to the air, so the pressure from the valve may make it appear that water is still on and feeding the showerhead.

How does a tub spout diverter work?

How Does a Tub Diverter Valve Work? Basically, the main water pipe running to the bathroom starts at the tub faucet and then runs vertically to connect the same waterway to the showerhead above the faucet. When the faucet is turned on, water rushes to the first port and drains into the tub.
