    Shower Valve replacement

    I found this post //www.diynot.com/diy/threads/can-you-help-identify-my-shower.337936/ which helped identify the shower valve in my shower as RV1102RC, but it also has me wondering whether the valve is the issue. The shower is fed mains pressure hot and cold water but runs very hot, the...
