Let me start by saying, I'm handy, but not a plumber. I recently finished my basement, including a full bath myself. Everything is closed up and now I have no water at my shower head. I know I should have tested this before closing everything up.
I installed the Moen 2590 Posi-Temp valve. I am using PEX + Sharkbite. I plugged the tub outlet with a brass plug. Here is a (blurry) picture from the install:
Now that everything is closed up, I pulled the cartridge and flushed both the hot and cold with seemingly equal pressure on both sides.

- I have both valves open completely.
- I opened the stops so that they are horizontal to the floor.
- I played with the stops to see if I had unequal pressure, with no luck.
- I removed the shower head and shower arm to ensure there were no blocks and the screen was clean.
- I replaced the cartridge to ensure that wasn't blocked.
