Hi there,
I had seen a thread with someone who had a price pfister model shower body/valve but my model is different.
I have the Delta 1700 (17 series) single faucet shower body/valve and when the plumber installed everything, i thought it was ok until he left. The water is now cold when the indicator is on hot and hot when on cold. I looked in the directions and tried to take the cartridge out, and wanted to rotate it so that the words hot side is on the opposite side. Well, here's the problem:
First off the words HOT SIDE is facing up. No biggie. I know the pipes are hot of the left and cold on the right, so I'll just take out the cartridge and put 180 degrees. WRONG..this is why.
Tried to take out the cartridge, flip it around put it back into the valve, guess what? it doesn't get to go in because there's a notch on the valve itself. I don't know if I'm doing this right because the directions say 'Rotate the cartridge so the word HOT SIDE appeak on the left. I took the cartridge out but didn't find out how to rotate it?! All I was able to do was turn the darn thing 90 degrees but I think I was turning the piece that makes it hot and cold. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you all!
