The same part works for both Hot & Cold sides. Usually preset to work on Hot (counter clockwise on, clockwise off). To set for Cold, simple remove the plastic clip from the top, slide the ring tab off, flip it over and put back on (you can only put it on one way since there's a flat "key" in it matching the stem) Now its set for Cold (CCW of, CW on).

Thank you! This sure saved me a lot of hassle! I greatly appreciate the question and you taking the time to answer!
I wish Danco had noted these instructions in their product. Was frustrating for us non-plumbers. Thanks a lot for the instructions as it helped immensely!
Yes, bsan, thanks so much!
Thank you! It is a simple thing that should be explained by Danco on the box.
Thanks guys, I live an hour from the nearest Lowes or HD, and not being an efficianado of the monkey wrench was becoming mildly agitated with the situation. This worked, thanks for sharing the solution.
Thank you. James was right. Danco, Parts Master Pro (Mueller Industries Co. - PP-6CD-NL ) do not have instructions on this. Glad I was able to see this solution. Just removing the clip (metal on my part) and flipping the cam resolved it! THANKS

The new fixtures have a metal clip on top. To solve this problem, pull off the metat piece on the top, and reposition it 45% from where it was. Put the clip back on. This was not obvious but the 3H-10H/C Danco price pfister comes set for hot only and you need to reset the stem this way to use it on the cold side

Hi Bsan, I experienced the same problem with a 3H-10H/C as others. Can you clarify what you mean by the plastic clip? Thanks.
David, Danco appears to have made a change to this replacement part, which I think is the source of your confusion.
I just bought this Danco replacement stem and found no plastic clip.
On the original, worn-out stem, there is a plastic clip/key at the top (just under the grooved piece where the handle screws on)
The replacement stem has a partial metal disc (it looks like 75% of a washer) at that spot. It serves the same purpose, which is to prevent piece beneath it from riding upward.
You'll notice this silver piece has two notches on the interior. With either a pen point or something similar (I used the metal point on a drawing compass), slide this off. Then follow the directions bsan listed above.
NOTE: I had difficulty getting the silver key/washer back in place, so I simply used the plastic clip from the original piece instead.
Thanks a lot, brainestadt - and Bsan - you guys really solved this problem for me, too.
