For safety reasons plumbing guidelines recommend that the hot water in the shower should not exceed 120°F. 

The water temperature from my Moen shower system is not hot enough.

To adjust the Temperature Limit Stop,with the handle removed, loosen the adjustment hex screw with a 7/64" hex wrench and slide the screw to the highest position (See Figure A) on the metal stop tube sleeve. Tighten the hex screw. With the screw in this position your are accessing full hot water.

Test the hot water temperature (not to exceed 120°F). Move to the section in this article titled: How to test the hot water temperature.

How to test the hot water temperature: Place the handle or handle adapter back on the shower, pull the handle to the on position and rotate left. Use a thermometer to check the hot water temperature (not to exceed 120°F). If the temperature is still too hot, repeat the steps above.

Once the desired temperature is reached, reinstall the handle, see Vertical Spa: Moentrol with Integrated Transfer Valve.
