Monitor® 14 Series Tub & Shower with In2ition® in Matte Black

Hi mike k, Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company! We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing and we are happy to help! Our cartridges have a built-in scald protector, and we ship our cartridges already set in the middle range to avoid scalding as water heater temperatures can vary. To fix this, you would need to rotate the "Rotational Limit Stop" on the tip of the cartridge. Please refer to the instructions and the link below! Please refer to page 12 box B: https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/107528%20Rev%20G.pdf You shouldn't need to shut your water off but keep in mind it is still possible for the water to turn on if the stem is rotated. Please gather 1/8" allen wrench for a lever handle and a philips screwdriver for a knob handle. 1. Remove your handle with your 1/8" allen wrench. The set screw should be under the lever of the handle. If you have a knob, please remove the cap on the tip of the handle. You will need a philips head screwdriver to remove the screw. 2. Pull the sleeve assembly off of the valve. This is the cylindrical part behind your handle that hides the valve body. 3. You will see a brass stem and a plastic white piece on the tip of the cartridge. The white piece has notches on it to grip it more easily. 4. Please pull the white piece towards you and rotate counter-clockwise for hotter water. *Please note there is a limit of how far this will rotate, if you rotate to the hottest setting it will be the same temperature as your water heater. This is not recommended as it can cause scalding. Please also note that each notch you rotate to can range anywhere between 4 and 16 degrees Fahrenheit.* Now you can install your sleeve and your handle onto your valve. Turn your water on and see if this is your desired temperature. If it is, tighten the set screw or the screw, and the temperature adjustment on the cartridge is done! We appreciate your inquiry. Please reach out directly if you have further questions! Best Regards, Kyra Digital Communications Specialist

The real answer was that I was missing a part. The spout that came in the box had a 1” diameter threaded opening that would not fit my 1/2 “ threaded pipe. It should have had an adapter with it so I could connect to my 1/2” pipe nipple. Contacted Delta and they are sending the adapter.
