Hot Water Temperature Scald Prevention setting in under 5 minutes - Delta Faucet - Shower, Bath

Learn how to increase the hot water temperature and get more hot water from your bath tub tap by adjusting the Scald Temperature Limit on the tap assembly.

When the house was originally built, the builder set the bath tub faucet very conservatively for heat so that only warm water
came out of the tap for any babies or kids in the bath.

Well it's 10 years later and now time for the kids to get a bit more hot water in their showers.

To change the temperature setting, the following are the steps:

* Turn off the water to your house -- NOTE: you CAN do this procedure without turning off the water, but be ready to get wet :)
* Open the bath faucet and drain any remaining water in the pipes
* Close the bath tub drain, and put down a towel to protect your bath tub enamel surface
