I have recently had a new bathtub installed and I am only getting semi-
warm water from the faucet. I have turned up the hot water heater and
I am getting very hot water from all the other faucets in the house.
Also when I push the handle forcefully to the hot side the water does
get someone hotter. Is there something that I can adjust in the handle
to get this problem resolved?

If it's new, the faucet probably is equipped with some form
of "scald guard" feature or limit stops for the high temp.

Arm yourself with the mfr name and the model number and
visit their web site support section.

Usually a simple adjustment. Two that I have seen both require taking
the knob off.

1 an indexing disc that gets taken off and repositioned
2 a screw that get adjusted to limit the travel of the knob

Check the manual that the plumber gave you for the handle or the
website.
