I just installed a new American Standard Neo Traditional shower valve. When I turn the water on all the way hot, it gets nice and hot for a couple seconds, then goes very cold within 5-10 seconds.
The water supply is hot, I believe something is going wrong in the mixing mechanism.
I've already tried setting the temperature stop at a couple places. I've opened the whole thing up to clean it out (like the manual suggested) and no good.
This is one of the anti-scald pressure balancing valves.
We have fairly low water pressure that does fluctuate a little. I'm wondering if that could be the problem.
Any ideas on what to do / how to fix it?
If it is the anti-scald mechanism, can I replace just that piece with a regular "burning-the-idiots" version?
Thanks for any answers.
