   *aaron. was the faucet a kohler? i had a kohler faucet which had a stop inside that gave us the same problem. it ended up being replaced ( the whole cartridge ) and worked well. something was goofy in denmark, i mean in the faucet. however it may be hard to convince one of the trained professionals. if it was a real plumbing supply you wouldn't have any problem......best of luck to ya

   you have a delta cheaper model faucet . it is to meet new anti scalding laws. the better models have volume and tem control seperatly

   Just one of the multitude of reasons that I hate single lever faucets!

   I think there are seperate anti-scalding valves that can be attached to the supply lines?

   thanks for the feedback, everyone.

   I went out to the local SOURCE for right-on plumbing info and asked them if they'd ever heard of such a thing. they said that Moen and Delta and a lot of the big companie's are making one or two of their shower install kits that way .. it's a way to meet code on anti scalding (as someone mentioned here). So ... I dont like it but it's already in and even though I haven't covered it yet I already totally cut it out once and re-suetted it back in so I'm just gonna leave it. Shows ta go me I shoulda done my research before buying .. it was a stupid impulse buy that eventing...
   Oh well ..

   thanks again --

   Aaron.

   Got a new tub-shower hook-up from HDepot and hooked it up all ok with H and C coming in and shower going up and tub-spout down. But when I tested it I found that there is only a single action to the unit, which is the turning of the one central knob. I.e., there is no push to lessen flow/pull to increase flow. So ... the deal is that you turn it counterclockwise and it comes on cold and slow ... then as you turn it more it increases in flow and in temperature. In other words you can't have a trickle of warm or hot ... or a strong flow of cold. Am I missing something here??? or is this just about the weirdest set up around? ((The HD guy handed it to me as "a good one" ... wish I had known more and had chosen another.))
   Has anyone had any experience with a faucet set-up like this????
   Thanks in advance...
