What happens here

Once the black cap is removed, you will expose two white plastic rings. These rings are part of Moen's anti-scald feature, which limits how far the handle can turn towards hot water. To increase the hot water flow, simply remove these two white rings. The 'issue' preventing more hot water was likely an incorrect factory setting or a misalignment. Separate the two rings and ensure that the small 'knobs' or tabs on each ring are perfectly lined up with each other when you reinsert them into the valve. This alignment allows the shower handle to rotate further into the hot water range.

Goal: Increase the maximum hot water temperature by adjusting the anti-scald feature

What they say

Hide

Hold it clockwise, hold it in the off position, and then start to undo this. You just want to take the black piece with a screw. These two white rings right here are Moin's anti-scaled feature. You just simply remove those. Just make sure these two little knobs are lined up with each other, and you're going to have good hot water flow. This was the issue. Put our sensor on top of our Allen wrench, get that all tightened up.
