Shower Hot/Cold Mixing Valve Question
10/8
Hi All,
At the rally it was apparent that the shower hottest setting was not near as hot as the water from the sink and bath faucet. Checking the threads from search on here it sounds as though I need to remove the shower valve and check for calcium, etc. (soak in vinegar and/or Lime Away?). Question is how to remove. I removed the blend handle and cap. That threaded into a fitting which goes into the cover plate, Did not want to force any of this. Is there a process for getting this valve out? I do not see a name but could be a Grohe, Moen, Delta.
Thank you if anyone has advise.
This is for my 1999 Country Coach. Thanks posters.
Sincerely,
Doug

Pics and Further Information for Shower Valve

Mornin and thanks to all who responded. I took the handle off and there is no limit setting on that. Just 360d of teeth on the shower valve side and matching teeth on the handle. There are no markings (Moen, Delta,etc.) on any of the surfaces. I took 3 pics with the phone but I cannot reduce the size. Will try to post here as is or take later with camera. This is for the Country Coach XL. Both water heaters are working well so it has to be the mixing valve. Did not want to force anything or worse have to call a plumber to go to a garage facility to work on this$$$. I pulled on the cover plate until I met resistance (you can see the small gap). Thanks guys.
Sincerely,
Doug
