The valve may be installed upside down; therefore the mixer cap assembly is mixing water "backwards."
While observing the cap assembly, find the red/black collar and tab. This red tab needs to be touching the stationary black tab on the cap and in the up position, pointed upwards towards 12:00. In the picture below (Fig. 1), the red tab is facing downward, and in the 5:00 position, which is incorrect.
(Fig. 1)
To correct the issue of the hot water coming on first, refer to the following steps below:
- Turn off the water supply to the valve.
- Remove the screws on the left and right side of the black cap (Fig. 2). Then remove the metal collar (Fig. 3).
- Pull out and rotate the cap until the stationary tab and collar are in the upward position (Fig. 4) and (Fig. 5).
- Reassemble and turn on the water (Fig. 6).
