CAUTION: Failure to open the valve before removing the cap assembly (TA-12A) will result in damage to the cap and spindle.<br /> <br /> Removing valve trim<br /> #Remove the plug button (T-33) from the temperature control handle (T-31).<br /> #Remove the handle screw (T-32) and remove the temperature control handle.<br /> #Remove the two escutcheon screws (T-28). Remove the dial [T-29(A,B,C)] and escutcheon (T-27).<br /> #Remove the dome cover (T-19/20) by unscrewing in a counter-clockwise direction. <br /> <br /> Opening valve<br /> #Remove the cap assembly by using a wrench and turning in a counter-clockwise direction, the spindle assembly will come out with it. Separate the cap from the spindle by unscrewing the cap in a counter-clockwise direction. <br /> <br /> Replacing washers or spindle<br /> <br /> #At this point you can rebuild or replace the spindle. To rebuild use the TA-9 washer kit. Hint: Place the handle on the spindle so that you can hold it stationary. Remove the hot washer screw (T-5) and the hot washer (T-6). Remove the cold washer (T-8) by using adjustable pliers turning counter-clockwise on the cold washer retainer (T-7).<br /> #Reverse the above steps to reassemble the spindle with the new parts. <br /> <br /> Replacing seats<br /> <br /> #To replace the seats you will need to use the seat removal tools (T-35A/B) and TA-4 seat kit. Insert the larger seat tool (T-35A) into the valve until it engages in the notches of larger cold seat near top of valve. CAUTION: Use extreme care to make sure the wrench is engaged into the notches in order to prevent stripping of the notches. Remove by unthreading in a counter-clockwise direction.<br /> #Next insert the smaller tool (T-35B) until it engages in the small hot seat located at the back of the valve. Removeby unthreading in a counter-clockwise direction.<br /> #Reassemble with new seats from TA-4 Kit, reversing steps 9-8. Tighten both seats to 15 foot-pounds of torque.<br /> #Reverse the above steps 5-1 to reassemble your valve and trim. Be sure the spindle assembly is drawn close to the cap before screwing the cap back into the valve. CAUTION: Failure to do this will cause damage to the cap and spindle.<br /> <br /> What is a handle limit stop and how do I set or adjust it?<br /> All Symmons pressure-balancing shower valves come equipped with a handle limit stop to set the handle rotation. The limit stop is used to limit the valve handle from being turned to excessively hot water discharge temperatures. CAUTION: Never remove this screw without turning off the hot and cold water supplies.<br /> <br /> #To set the shower valve handle limit stop, remove the screw holding on the handle and remove the handle.<br /> #Remove the round dome cover by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. At this point you will see a small slotted screw head that is visible in the valve cap.<br /> #Place the handle on the valve stem (loose) and open the valve turning the handle until the maximum desired position is reached.<br /> #Turn the screw in a clockwise direction until it seats to set the handle limit stop.<br /> #Shut off the valve and re-attach dome and handle.</div>
