The cartridges were installed in the wrong handle. Did it when replacing them in our faucet and had this exact issue arise. They were just too lazy to correct it lol.
I mean, itās pretty obvious someone mounted the base backwards. The big question is do they not test it after install, or just said fuck it Iām calling it done?
LOL I accidentally installed a new faucet backwards like that but I couldnāt be arsed to fix it; I kind of like being able to nudge the water on if my hands are full, but I totally admit itās āwrongā
actually you know what for a bathroom sink in my own home iād like this š¤£ i could avoid getting paint and such on the handles before washing my hands and having to wipe it off with wet hands dripping everywhere before turning off the faucet/fight with my elbows/very bent wrists to pull the handle.
How??
Southern hemisphere handles
Some sort of foul plumbing magic, it sickens me
It's installed backwards
But wouldn't that be extremely obvious? š
After it's installed yes but at that point you have to redo the whole job, lazy contractors ain't going to do work twice
This is 100% DIY.
No contractor would make a mistake like that.
Contractor may be a loose term in this case, probably a landlord that fancies themselves a contractor
One of our showers is like this. It confuses me every time I use it.

Probably the latter, the rest of the place was all ālandlord specialā too
You might be able to remove the handles and rotate a thingy inside there to make them turn properly. My kitchen sink was like that.
Even if you can't do that, OP might be able to swap the stems around. They're sometimes keyed so that won't work but not usually, IME.
I replaced the stems on my shower, two different stems. One labeled hot, the other labeled cold.

Someone fucked up
Jokes can't land on Naruto faucet
It's more aerodynamic that way
Swap the cartridges
The whole faucet is on backwards lol. That spout probably spins a full 360 degrees and the plumber that installed it drank a few too manyĀ
Soā¦does the water then run upward?
I doubt it was designed that way. Maybe the base was installed backwards, and the faucet was installed later.

Isn't that the only sensible way for valves like that?
Definitely not lol
