If you&apos;re encountering issues when installing your shower valve and trim set please review the following troubleshooting steps:1.

The factory setting is open.</li></ul>2. Verify Water Supply<ul><li style="font-family: Inter;">Confirm water is coming from both the hot and cold lines. This is a pressure-balancing cartridge, and it requires water from both sides to function.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">If water is not coming from one side:<ul style="font-family: initial;"><li style="font-family: Inter;">This indicates an issue with that specific water line.</li></ul></li></ul>3. Handle and Cartridge Orientation<ul><li style="font-family: Inter;">Ensure the cartridge is installed in the correct orientation:<ul style="font-family: initial;"><li style="font-family: Inter;">The pins on the cartridge must align with the holes in the valve.</li></ul></li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Confirm you are lifting/turning the handle correctly as per the valve&apos;s instructions.</li></ul>4. Flush the Lines<ul><li style="font-family: Inter;">Remove the cartridge.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Flush the lines to clear any debris.&#xA0;</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Reinstall the cartridge and test again.&#xA0;</li></ul>5. Check for Clogged Cartridge<ul><li style="font-family: Inter;">If there is still no water:<ul style="font-family: initial;"><li style="font-family: Inter;">Remove the cartridge again.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Test each water line individually to ensure water flows through them.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">If water flows correctly from both sides, the cartridge may be clogged (likely during installation).
