Shower Handle When we remodeled our bathroom which only has a Shower, my husband replace the old shower handle with a new one that I chose. The old one you would turn right or left depending on the temperature you wanted then pull it out. The new one I purchased only turns right or left, doesn't pull out. Is there an adapter we can purchase to correct this problem? A hot shower is not bad in the winter but not in the summer. When turned all the way to the left where the most pressure is, you only get hot water. So do we need to replace this faucet (do they still make this type of faucet?) or is there an adapter we can purchase to correct this problem? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

the model is needed for a step by step but. if your faucet is for a sink and not a shower then the handles may be connected to the pour spout or separate depending on model and in either case there is a nut screwed under the fixture that hold it in place. do not unscrew any of the faucet until you have turned of the water running to it.

REMOVAL OF STUCK CURVED FAUCET HANDLE WITH HEX SCREW ' DIY Forums

shut off water to shower, remove knob by popping cover off and removing screw, remove valve cover by just pulling straight out. there will be a retaining clip that holds cartridge in you will need to remove, Pull out old cartridge and replace with new.

Check the water supply lines to the shower at the faucet handles. If the fitting for the hot water line connected to the handle is loose, it can twist and kink off the water supply further down the line when you turn the faucet handle. I'm not exactly sure how this could be relevant otherwise, but under normal design circumstances this type of scenario with your shower wouldn't matter for other faucets.

if u have the paperwork for the unit--in it will explain how to adjust the anti scold settings single handle units are shipped in cold setting u have to adjust the hot -- remove handle and on shaft will see blue and red clips adjust the red till hot water is to ur liking replace handle

I need more information. What kind of show, double handle, single handle, the pout, the handle, the shower...it leaking. Have a single handle shower. I was pour out water.

When working with the plumbing be sure to turn the main water off.

Set a side a block of time where no one needs to use the bathroom or water. Single handle, take the outer ring off. The outer ring is what keeps the handle tight on the housing. Now, you should see two screws remove them. The handle should come out. You should see two inlets, in each inlet you should see sm. black rubber in them. replace them with new ones. reverse installation from above. and you should be good to go. turn the main water on.

you will need to dissasemble the faucet control and remove and replace the stem and seat in the unit its just froze and if you try to keep turning it the stem will eventually break

bad faucet...get new at lowes or home depot

There is a handle limit stop under the handle. Remove the handle with an allen wrench and you should see a plastic piece with a tab on it fit into the assembly. Remove it and rotate it slightly to allow more travel in the handle and reinsert. You will have to test it to see if it allows enough hot water to mix in. If it is still not warm enough repeat as needed. Once you have the water at a comfortable temperature reinstall the handle and enjoy.

Hi rbyerly,

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

Your problem is:
remodeled bathroom,installed new moen valve and hardware. Now water is coming from both the shower head and the faucet when the diverter is in the down postion. Question; Is this a single handle or three handle diverter? Assuming it's a three handle, it should just be a mater of adjusting the center handle. If single, the diverter is in the spout not the valve. I don't know how to direct you further without specifics. Feel free contact me again!
