Symmons customer service will send replacement parts under their warranty. They will ask what the valve issues are and send the required parts to fix. Super fast and easy. Great to work with.

Thanks for the view and information! Greatly appreciated!! Enjoy the rest of your day!!

Wow Great job. Way to hang in there and make every effort. I’ve rebuilt thousands of these valves which is why I developed a tool called the Zip Seat Extractor that will make your life a lot easier the next time you have to do this task again. Check it out. It can even be used to remove stripped seats. Exactly like what you dealt with.

That screw limits how hot the water is at the highest setting of the handle.

Thanks for the view and especially the feedback! Greatly appreciated!!!

You did not turn the value off first. That's why it would not come off. You ended up damaging the value assembly. The metal that came off was from the damage you did, not normal wear on the valve. Look at other tutorials on how to do this. Once loosened, comes out by turning it by hand, not a wrench.

Thanks for the view and feedback. Greatly appreciated! Not being an experienced plumber, I did watch a few KZread videos beforehand. I performed the removal and installation per the instructions. I guess I watched the wrong tutorials. Live & learn. Have a great day!

other videos say to open the valve all the way to hot before loosening, you just said turn it off first. isn't that wrong?

Thanks for the feedback and the view! Greatly appreciated! I rewatched the video and I believe I said the valve must be turned on to the warm position before removing or damage could occur. Please let me know if this is incorrect. Have a great day!

I thought you had to turn the valve to hot not off. Other vids say to open the valve I believe

Thanks for the video. Mine is leaking behind the wall and I think it's the diverter valve. The problem is I can't get the handle off, it's so corroded. I tried a handle puller, but it won't budge. I'm wondering if I should cut it off with a Dremel.

Thanks for the view and the feedback. Greatly appreciated! If you’re referring to the on/off control knob, there’s a beauty cap & set screw that has Locktite on it if I’m remembering right. The knob has a brass insert which would be exposed if you cut the handle away. The diverter valve itself can be a bear to remove. I didn’t have the plumbers tool. I used an appropriate size easy out, a pair of vice grips, and a hammer to tap it out. It took some effort but eventually came out. Have used that method twice with success. Hopes this helps. Best of luck! Have a great day!
