No Hot Water In Bathtub But Hot Water In Sinks???

What happens here

Slowly turn on the main water supply valve, allowing the pipes to repressurize gradually. Once the main is fully open, ensure all previously opened faucets are closed. Test the water temperature at the soaker tub using a thermal probe/thermometer to confirm it is now receiving warm water at the desired temperature (around 115°F as per the factory setting). Check for any leaks around the newly installed mixing valve connections.

Goal: Confirm proper function of the new mixing valve and leak-free connections.

Just slowly open the water. I like to just get it started. Close the bottom. Got full pressure. Now we just have to go and open the valve the rest of the way. There's no resistance on this valve left because the house is pressurized. And we just open it up and then close it by a quarter of a turn. That way it doesn't stick in the open position. So now we just crank the tub on. So now we're actually getting the same water as the house. Okay, that's awesome. The factory setting on that bad boy, we're looking at about 114, 115, which is fine. And these being at 115, this is actually as high as that is right now. So if he needs to turn it
