Hello I need help on a Kohler Forte R10275-4-BN shower valve I had installed but NO water comes out of the shower nozzle when I turn the handle to cold (my hot is not connected yet). This model is for a shower only no opening at the bottom for a bath tub. Both brass valve stops are open (one for hot one for cold coming in from the sides) to allow water to come into the central valve, I know this because I took out the center plastic cluster of the main Kohler vale (the part that would turn with the decorative handle) and water comes out.
This is a pressure balancing valve that needs both cold and hot water pressure to operated. It is an anti-scald safety operation.
Good Luck, Phil

Thanks so much Phil, someone today mentioned the same thing to me. And makes sense, since my hot water is not plumbed from the hot
water heater yet (since I did not have the gas hooked up). I will hook
it up in the next few days and test it.
