Plumbing Hot water problems

We recently installed this Delta single faucet in our shower:

Classic Single-Handle Tub and Shower Faucet in Chrome-134900 at The Home Depot

but now the hot water does not get anywhere near as hot as before with the double faucet, how can I fix this please?

There is a scald control behind the handle. You need to adjust it.

Look in the instructions that came with the faucet it should tell you.

The only other thing is if the cartridge was not removed when soldering it may have overheated and melted the cartridge.
