Hello mightybigun,
Kohler has a very good website including the installation instructions
which I assume came with your new faucet. If for some reason you have
lost your instructions, here is the link:

To answer your question, "Is there a way to adjust the valve", I would
have to say no. There is no feature in the K-110-3 faucet to allow
adjustment of the flow of the hot or cold water. However here are some
things you might consider.
1. I noticed in reading the instructions that just about every other
sentence said to use thread goop. It is possible that excess goop in
the hot water supply side could be restricting the flow.
2. I assume that you didn't have this problem with the previous
faucet, but was there anything that is different about the new
installation. Are there additional fittings which might cause a
restriction in the hot water supply.
3. Is there actually less flow from the hot water side of the faucet.
You could test this by filling the tub to the same level with cold and
then hot water and comparing how long it takes. If it takes much
longer with the hot water, you have an indication that the flow is
restricted in some way.
4. How high is the setting on your water heater. Would it be possible
to adjust it higher to give you a hotter mix.
5. Finally the obvious solution would be to open the hot side valve
more than the cold side when filling the tub. If this doesn't result
in too much time in filling the tub, it might be your solution.
These are all the ideas I have at this moment, but should you have
other questions I would be glad to try and answer.
Thanks, Redhoss |
