Disabling HotStop Faucet

Aug 28, 2010 2 Replies

I have a HotStop faucet that I would like to disable. I bought it because it was the only faucet available that was long enough to fit on our whirlpool tub in the master bath, but I want to be able to have the water hotter than I would put in a kid's tub.



Is there an easy way to disable this without causing leaking?


I'm not familiar with your particular faucet, but many faucets of that nature have a plastic tab that prevents the faucet from being turned past a user-selected set point. Similar to the tabs on those timers you might use for Christmas lights.

Every faucet of that nature that I have installed came with instructors on how to adjust/remove the tab.

Yep, they all are adjustable because the hot water temp is diff from case to case. Either remove the adjustment or adjust it to the max.
