Hello,

Are you sure you used the correct style of thermostat?

The correct thermostat has a secondary disc mounted on the end of the central shaft.

When hot, this disc lowers to cover the little pipe below the thermostat.

Without the secondary disc, water will not flow properly through the head when the thermostat opens.
