Water too cold in shower? Moen Posi-temp adjustment

- This is a really easy way to adjust the max temp in your shower especially in a new house where the code requires 115 degrees maximum temp. Always be careful with hot water if its too hot it can burn you. Adjust at your own risk.

It's amazing that the valve-replacement videos don't cover this! I think I flubbed the reassembly by setting the water temp too cold, without knowing it was possible!! Thanks for this!!
I just fixed this today with your video and I'm so happy! My previous fix was increasing the heat on the water heater, but it just made that one shower "normal" hot temp, and all of the other bathrooms hazardously hot. Now I have perfectly hot water in that one bathroom and I am thankful! Have a great day!
After 5 years of lukewarm showers I’m finally free…thanks
Thank you for taking your precious time to upload this video. I have increased my water temperature for this winter.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, very straightforward and helpful.
Thank you for clearly explaining that to us Sir!
Thanks brother. This video helped me out. I appreciate it
fantastic tutorial !!
Omg … I did it! Thank you so much.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good job. Glad I could help
Thanks man very much 👍
thank you
hb if i want the water colder?
Thank you all lot for this info. Indeed it help me. Thanks again
thank you!
Welcome!
I have the Moen 1222 Cartridge that I replaced. Water is a tad to cold. I do not have the white plastic piece shown in your video. I have the black piece.
The black piece only holds the handle on. I would check the temperature of water at other fixtures (2 handle faucet ideally) in your home. If that's not 120° I would turn the heater up a little.
how did you remove the faucet (the handle)? I see where there's perhaps an allen screw but none of my allen wrenches do anything... and I've got em all. Seems like just a hole on the bottom side where a screw of some sort should be, but isn't.
apologies... the video started (3x) after your brief mention of the allen wrench screw. On my 4th effort I caught the first few seconds w/ that precious detail. Mine wasn't coming out which had me wondering just what kind of screw it was... I didn't want to round it off. Good video, thank you (my water's running too cool for the guests... so I'll adjust counter-clockwise).
I've seen the Allen bolts in pretty bad shape before. Hopefully you don't encounter it being too bad.
Thank you, I got it done! Interestingly big brother is so keen on protecting us from ourselves that the temp regulator ring will adjust to cooler water (clockwise) but WILL NOT rotate beyond 12 noon to the left, (counter clockwise). I mean, it will but faucet won't reinstall. Solution? Take the damn temperature ring off entirely! Problem solved, guests have hot water 😊
I found some torx bits will work. In my case, the T15 worked really well for slotting into the allen key hole with lots of grip
@@fatmouth007 Thanks, but I chanced upon the ONE allen wrench supplied in the hundreds which Sears seems to use in completing a 200 piece tool set, that fit perfectly. It is now taped to a bathroom drawer... where I will absolutely forget about but... hey, the next owner maybe? Thanks again. ps. after pulling the handle off, the ring limiter or whatever its called, wouldn't adjust so I just took the damn thing off entirely. Now the water handle swings from 6pm counterclockwise to 9pm.
I can adjust the plastic stopper but the base for the shutoff will not go back on. Mine is keyed and only allows the base to go back on in the 12:00 position. Any ideas?
You cannot go hotter than what the valve will give than the 12:00 position or you’ll be back in the off position. I tried everything to get hotter water in my shower with this Moen valve but Moen apparently “knows” best and won’t allow it. I’ll probably trash my Moen valve and go with another. My Price Pfiester valve in my other house can be set to provide true hot water.
Hi, when i turn the white piece to make it warmer, the nlack piece does not go back in , any advice ?
Sorry I am not very active with the videos, just trying to randomly help people. I'm having a hard time visualizing what could be causing the black piece to not go back on. Again sorry it's two months after your comment.
My case is different, I’m not getting enough cold water, so if I turn it clockwise to 3 or 4 for example will it become colder?
This only limits your maximum hot temp. If it's not getting cold enough there could be a blockage in the cold or the balancing spool in the cartridge might be stuck. I'd go for replacing the cartridge. Pretty easy job. I should make a video on that too.
How do tou take out the phil
if i adjust can i get more pressure? i recent got my shower system upgraded with a moen shower valve but noticed big diference in water pressure
That will not affect pressure. You would need to remove the restrictor in the shower head.
These valves are not the best for pressure/volume unfortunately.
@@BRADDAPLUMBER I already removed the restrictor from the head I had no problem with pressure until I got my shower valve upgraded
Question, just bought a house and noticed I had to Do this to our master bathroom, we'll who ever did this rounded out the screw or whatever. Any ideas?
Use a wide rubber band and a Philips screw driver the rubber goes on the head of the screw.
What size Allen key?
7/64
This Moen valve doesn’t allow you to take a HOT shower. I have my mixer valve turned all the way hot and my water heater set to 120 and the shower temp is warm not hot. Never another Moen valve will I buy.
I've seen them put out steaming hot water. Maybe there is an issue with the balancing spool in the cartridge.
I have the opposite problem. Should've switched to a two handle

I needed to know how to unscrew the handle. Why would you skip that step? I cannot even find the right tool to unscrew it.
It's an Allen key. You are absolutely right I should have. I'm a professional plumber and amateur video maker. I'll try to have my future content be more thorough.
