Hi, Looking for some help with Moen single handle valve's. My Hot water is heated through my boiler with a tankless coil. Which means the temperature can fluctuate a lot. Sometimes I run just hot water when the hot water supply lessens. Will that turn...

This valve is pressure balanced, meaning that when the hot water supply is depleted, the cold water will adjust as well to help maintain a consistent temperature in the shower.

Mr. Schafer and Mr. Dave have mentioned two good things to look at. I think a kink in the hot water line to the faucet is the most probable cause. But you should also check the shutoff valves emerging from the wall below the faucet -- if the hot water valve is only partly opened, it will restrict the amount of hot water available at the faucet. So make sure those shutoff valves are fully open ("lefty, loosey" or counterclockwise, if you prefer) for both the hot and cold supplies.

It shouldn't CONSTANTLY drip - - however because of the design, it WILL drip when the instant hot unit is heating the water to it's holding temperature. This is NOT a flaw - - it's just physics. On these faucet units - the valves do NOT release water from the holding tank, rather they ADD water TO the tank. The heating tank is ALWAYS vented out through the faucet. So - - when it's heating, the water expands slightly (or steam is vented), and drips out of the faucet. If, however, your faucet drips ALL the time - - that is a problem !!

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.

Well, I had the same problem, but instead no cold water, I had little hot water. After change the valve my problem was solve. I guess you have a valve problem.

Since your faucet is this close to the wall, your hot water use is being restricted because it wont rotate fully. Your only choice is to loosen (just enough to turn it) the fixture from below and rotate it 90 degrees so the handle is toward the front. We started with ours facing the same as yours but found we preferred it toward the front. Good Luck

hey Pitta the valve is 1/2 npt thats national pipe thread.So I use 1/2 ID tube to drain my wort, make sure it will handle hot wort. good luck.

Overall, I am very happy with the faucet and would buy it again. Though there is a difference in the cold v. hot water with hot being less powerful than the cold. I think this has more to do with the way it was installed. I had other problems with my contractor so I believe the difference is due to the way they installed it. Hope this helps.

It is hard to say without knowing all the variables. Check your other working valves and make sure all connections are the same. Make sure the valve is seated properly... it can be easily misaligned when twisted on. Make sure your thermostat is set to operate that zone. Make sure that the manual valve controlling the flow from furnace in that zone is in the open position. And make sure your valve is set to automatic for thermostat control. I had work done in the hose, and for a year the heat in one of my 3 zones was funky. The valve in question was hard to see. When I finally checked it carefully, one wire was loose and the valve itself was not flush with the base. The zone was on all the time. I assume the other zones work, therefore the circulating pump is working. I am an amateur tinkerer. Most household things aren't rocket science, but if I can't figure it out, I call an expert.

I don't know what that is. What I do know is that I have two kinds of Moen shower valves in my house. Pull/push to open/shut the valve and turn to adjust temperature, and turn only (turning adjusts temperature and opens the valve). This handle fits the second kind.

The hot water radiators I use in Germany fifty years ago were worked with individual valves per room, that we turned on/off by hand, but your new system would probably use an electrical control solenoid valve, I would say yes. This thermostat works very well with my heat exchanger, Keeps it right at 79 I refer, where the new setback I used had a five degree swing, that caused me freeze then burn up!

if you want instant hot water you need a valve at every sink. Our house has about a 60' run. I only installed 1 valve at the farthest point. The other sinks before it get hot pretty quick now but not as fast as the valved one.

I have not had the a problem with the valve. The handle is a little loose. Probably use it to tighten the top. Otherwise it works great!!

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this. BTW I'm just a consumer not a plumber.

Sorry but I do not understand the question by "pushing" This cartridge works by pulling the handle of the faucet to get water, then turning the faucet to the left to get hot water (if you keep the handle of the faucet turned to the right you would get only cold water)

if the water flow isn't fast enough the water will get too hot and will shut off for safety reasons and once it shuts off it doesn't like to turn on for a while. because of this i run the bathroom faucet at the same time and adjust the flow to play with the temperature and keep it stable. i've never had an issue with a drop in water pressure turning it off and we use multiple faucets with it running like flushing the toilet running the washer and taking a shower and not had a problem.

I cannot confirm this, but the water at the faucett turns from cold to hot in about the same time as when I was using a tank heater. Hope this helps.
