hi there! there is a technical problem in concern with that for sure...try checking the handle it might be loose already. things like that do happened all the time. thanks, kindly rate.
SOURCE: swaping Pfister Shower leaver handle
it must be the same model number,most models come in different colors and styles.
SOURCE: single handle shower valve.. can't get any hot
factory set is usally cold for safety. remove handle, then remove cover. you will see the mechanism, bunch of plastic teeth, set it up in the middle, then try it, repeat process till you get desired temp
SOURCE: single lever shower temp adjustment
there is a ring with teeth on it you should be able to rotate it
three or four marks off the center position to increase hot water
this is the only adjustment needed...good luck
SOURCE: I have a pioneer shower valve that has pressure problem
The way anti-scald valves work is there is a slide tube inside the faucet which requires pressure from both hot and cold or else it will cut off the flow. As for temperature adjust I do not believe there is an adjustment screw but more so there are these white plastic toothed stop rings which prevent the handle from turning 360 degrees. When your adjust the stop ring, it adjusts how much hot water is allowed to mix with the cold water. My wife likes her showers a lot hotter than I, so I gave a good allowance with the stop ring. The "adjustment screws" which you are viewing are not for adjustment of temperature, they are remote cut-off screws to stop the water entirely to change the washers in the unit if needed. SO open those all the way and leave them open. Think of them as not having to go all the way into the basement to shut off the water supply just to change a few washers.
