Is Your Shower Not Getting Hot Enough? #diy #helpingothers #plumbing #moen

What happens here

Begin by taking an Allen wrench and inserting it into the small hole typically found at the bottom of the shower handle. Turn the Allen wrench counter-clockwise to loosen the set screw that secures the handle. Once loose, carefully pull the shower handle straight off the valve stem to expose the inner workings.

Goal: Detach the shower handle from the valve assembly

Tools and materials

  • Allen wrench — Loosening and tightening the set screw on the shower handle

What they say

Hide

not going to have to shut the water off to make this repair. You're going to take your Allen wrench, you're going to stick it right up in this hole. Go counterclockwise. If you don't hold this because the posi-timp turns on and off this way, you're going to get wet. 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.
