Experiencing problems with the water not being hot enough in my Symmons Temptrol Shower Valve even after replacing the TA-10 spindle, I replaced the hot and cold seats inside the valve for one final chance on fixing the problem. This was the solution as I found the seats I took out to be worn out. I now get hot water in my shower again. It is not the easiest DIY job but it is worth to do it yourself if you can as the labor costs can be high especially if the seats become stripped (which happens a lot). I show not only how to replace the cold and hot seats in the Symmons Temptrol but also how I got the valve out even when it is stripped by the removal tool. I also inform you that the newer replacement parts are slightly different than the old version and what tools you need (Symmons T35C removal tool) to have success with the newest revision of the hot and cold seats (TA-4) for the Symmons Temptrol. It basically is a new shower once you replace these.

@@EricDIY Just replaced H/C seals and spindle. Still low spray. Only thing left is volume spindle or the stop spindle. This is an outside shower. What do you think?

@gilbrook I would look at the spindle next and see if the float moves freely. If it doesn't, replace it. The last thing is to see if you have a limiter on the hot water line from the boiler (if using gas/oil) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJWNtK9tlK20nZM.html

Is it the volume of water you're having a problem with or the heat?
I just replaced the hot and cold seats, in my Symmons bathtub faucet, after having replaced the spindle. I had purchased the T35C tool and that was able to both remove the old seats and install the new ones. FINALLY…no leak!
Thank you so much Eric! As a single mom, my Symmons was leaking no matter how much I turned the faucet off. I followed your video and replaced the spindle and it works perfectly now. I appreciate your easy to understand instructions and wanted to let you know how thankful I am.

Reverse your pipe wrench direction and it will work 100% better for you.
Sorry for all the comments Eric, but wanted to share this with you. Would you be interested in doing a collab with us for a free tool? Why shouldn’t I use an easy out? Many professionals have used an easy out to remove frozen or stripped seats, which is a struggle in itself. When doing this, you are distributing huge amounts of torque through the valves and water pipes that your chances for breaking the pipes have increased a great deal. If they don’t break, they have certainly been compromised and may leak at the joints shortly after. It also expands the soft brass valve body, which the seats screw into. This means if you successfully remove the seats, the new seats may leak either right away or shortly later. Not to mention the struggle of going back to doing this with brute force rather than the effortless process with a powered gun and the Zip Seat Extractor. Better for your valve, your pipes, and your body.

Best tool ever, I use zip extractor as a facilities Manager on my Symmons shower valves, never have I ever stripped the hot water seat
Is the Symmons tool more effective than the Raven tool when replacing the hot/cold seats?

@@EricDIY Great. Thank you for your help!
My water temp changes from warm to cool then cold After a while it will get warm then hot by the time your shower is done . The water for the rest of the house is very hot.

Try using the diverter handle to slow the flow of the water a little. sounds like you're running through the hot water and then having to wait for your boiler/heater system to heat the water again
