I recently had to replace the cartridge on our Delta single handle bathtub. I don't know the exact model of the Delta faucet but the cartridge that replaces it is a 1300/1400 series cartridge. The water was shut off and then first turned on the cold water after installing the new cartridge. No cold water came out, when turned on. I then turned on the hot water at the water heater and it seems I get both hot and cold in the mixer, but wonder if that is truly "cold" water. The cold water isnt really warm like this, it does feel cool.
Shouldnt I get some cold water out of the faucet with a single handle Delta when only the cold water in the house is turned on? Or is their something in the way the mixer or pressure in the system has it to work requiring both cold and hot turned on in the house before getting cold out of the faucet?
I know this is the way it was before I replaced the cartiridge but wondered if there is a setting on the cartridge that isnt set right. Shouldnt I still get cold water with only cold water turned on?
