does the valve regulate the hot & cold because the one i have does not put out that much hot water. Is there a way to adjust for more hot water?

Check the instructions. There is plastic gear-looking item that can be adjusted to regulate the temperature of the water.

There is an adjustment to regulate the water to avoid scalding. The plumber told me he could remove it or adjust it. I had him remove ours since we do not keep our water heater too hot anyway. It works fine now.

This rough-in valve body doesn't regulate. The Delta faucet cartridge you put in it does. The cartridge will comes preset at an anti-scald level. You can adjust the action to allow more hot water, up to the temp of your water heater. Instruction on how to make this adjustment comes with faucet cartridges. http://www.deltafaucet.com/media/MandI/68881%20Rev%20E.pdf It's explained here in adjusting rotational limit stop.

I don't have an answer on making adjustments. You may want to contact Delta directly. You can find contact info at their web site. It may have something to do with the faucet and handle set, but I'm only guessing.

Yes you can adjust the temperature and how much water is flowing while the faucet is on. You need to use the handle to do this.

The hot/cold is controlled by pulling the lever forward or pushing it backward. The water pressure is controlled by tilting the handle outward or pushing it back up against the faucet.

Yes, it has nothing to do with that. the valve u mean is for mixing hot and cold water to get a Acceptable water temp for your shower pleasure but this only the decorative outside the temp valve u need to mix water not included or is the bath tub spout Wichita u didn't want the spout anyway. Hope that helps.

No adjustable thermostat and sealed unit. Mine did NOT heat the water to 110F more like 85F too cold for what I wanted it for (to heat up water when I changed out the water in my 2 person hot-tub. Mine also stopped working after two months. per website "Built-in thermostatic control maintains water temperature between 85°F and 110°F"

The valve/using the cold water lines as your return lines system is imperfect. What happens is you are filling the cold water line with hot water recirculating to the water heater and you have to run it out before you get cold water. In theory, the valve is supposed to close when the water at the faucet is hot enough but it does not always work as advertised and your "cold" water would still be warm anyway. The way to completely solve this is to abandon the valve and install a return line directly from the last hot water appliance in each main hot water line all the way back to the water heater, and into a tee at the drain line. This way the cold water lines are unaffected. The valve/using the cold water lines as your return lines system is imperfect.

Not sure, is it in rightist up? The valve should rotate counterclockwise cold down hot at about 9 o'clock. Thats all I got.

No, This balance valve needs the cold water to shift the valve to let in the hot water. If your valve is right when you first start to turn the valve you should get cold first and keep turning the valve counter clockwise and hot come out. If this is not the case your valve is backwards. If it is your lack of cold water is another problem. Jeff

This particular faucet does not come with an assembly to mix both hot and cold water (parts are available for this though). Previous comments are accurate, once you combine the hot and cold supply lines, the tempurature can be adjusted via the ball valves beneath the sink. Also note that this is a commercial grade faucet and this is not something you would typically install in your home (if that is what your intent is).

I had the same concern but it has worked fine. Refreshing, comes to mind. And as I thought about it I came to fear a burst of too hot water more than cold. I've not used the warm/cold model but I don't think there would be a lot of difference in that when you turn a hot faucet on it takes a while before it is hot.

I own one and I love it! First thing to check is the temperature adjustment knob under the unit is turned fully clockwise. The temperature rise can vary widely based upon that and other things, such as... the incoming water temperature, the flow in GPM (consider the flow all fixtures whixh are being used at the same time if more than one are... the higher the flow rate, the lower the water temperate rise. Also, if yours is a 240VAC unit and your actual voltage is less like 220VAC it won't warm water as much as 240 does. If your faucets, etc. are too far from the heater... some heat can be lost in the run of pipe, especially if it is in a cold area. Note that what causes thermal shutdowns to occur is overtemp, this can happen if the flow is restricted quite a bit, but high enough to activate the heater, and when the incoming water temp is very high. Also never try to connect this type of heater to water the is already preheated. I have some AE9.5 units as well and I know they have the thermal shutdown, I think all Bosch units do.

Thought never occurred to me to adjust the valve. It only controls how fast the water leaves the cone. Have had mine for over a year with no problems.

No adjustment on the unit, but water flow can be adjusted with the wall stop (shut off valve). But I don't know why you would want to reduce the flow?

I have a hot and cold system and it works like a dream. The water goes from filter to separate heating tank however. Not sure how your system is set up.

I highly recommend this valve, it is absolutely incredible at pressure balancing. If either the hot or the cold fluctuates, even wildly, in pressure, the shower WILL NOT change temperature, you'll just see a change in the flow rate.
