Hi-I hope someone can help.
Just built a new shower and now the shower does not seem to be getting hot.
More like luke warm.

I opened the screw you see on the left as far as possible and it made a verry minor difference.

Any advice?

It is an Glacier Bay Builders Single Handle Pressure Balance Shower Only in Brushed Nickel

Model # F1AA4217BNV Internet/Catalog # 100644765
Store SKU # 816635

The adjustment for this scald guard should have come with detailed instructions. If you have followed these instructions and are still getting poor results you may have debris in the waterways or cartridge. Often times it's wood chips from shoving pipe through holes in 2x4's.

It could also be a classic case of you get what you pay for. I mean no offense. Why would you buy the cheapest possible fixture when building something you want to last the rest of your life? Moen has a lifetime guarantee for just $30 more.
 
the red washer like piece has settings on it which adjust the handle just remove it and adjust to your preference
