The company that built the house is now defunct so I have to fix this myself.I just built a new house and the shower in the second bathroom only runs cold water? ?
If the second bath is far from the hot water heater it will take some time to get hot water out. There may be a separate shutoff valve for the other bath that is off also, check by the hot water heater and along the hot water pipe to the bath for a valve. There could be blockage at the shower valve inside the pipe, remove valve cartridge and check for water flow from the hot water line.I just built a new house and the shower in the second bathroom only runs cold water? ?
find out who the licensed plumber was that plumbed the house - even if you have to pay him. it will take him much less time to troubleshoot than someone starting from scratch.
before doing that make sure there is not a valve turned off to the shower - also check the mixing valve in the shower and make sure it is set properly - there is a hot water limiter in the anti-scald valves that can be adjusted to get more hot water -
best of luck.
The shower valve has a scald regulator to prevent too much hot water. It may simply need to be adjusted, unless it was plumbed incorrectly.Remove the handle and trim and look at the rough-in valve. There should be an obvious adjustment.
