Steven, all I can say is your a life saver!!! I wish this video came out a year ago. I busted my ass chasing a leak from my Symmons valve for weeks trying to locate the source of the leak. Thanks for the video, and by the way......, get the snow shovel ready.

Cool little 4way tool you got there. Ive been using a deck screw and a pair of pliers to pull it. Just found your channel recently, you make some great vids. Hopefully you guys get more rain than snow down there.

jimmulti123 i hope it rains also .. that tool is a symmons muti tool its made for the symmons valve repair

Mine was also leaking from the diverter and stained the ceiling below. The problem was I couldn't get the handle off the stem it was so corroded on. Even a handle puller didn't work. I didn't want to damage the spindle because it was working just fine, so I ended up cutting the handle off using a Dremel and cut-off disc. Replacing the diverter valve was easy. I didn't have the 4-way tool, so i just used an Easy-Out bolt extractor and it came right out. Seems to me that it only really needed a new O-ring, but a new valve was only $10 at Lowe's.

Great repair Steve.

Thanks for this video. I have one of these really old valve and even though I have the water turned off, I’m still getting water dripping from somewhere. Is it possible there is enough water in the pipe that it could just be constantly dripping under the tub?

Do you have to shut the water off at the meter for this?

Watched the video. I usually install my own faucets and have always tried to do my own plumbing. This looked easy enough to do, so I tried it. I put the valve in as shown, but the water gets by the O-ring when I turn on the water. ????? In the video the valve didn't leak! Mine does!

Hi Steve, I have a similar Symmons shower/tub valve and I find that when I'm taking a 10 minute shower another 5 gallons of hot water comes out the tub spout at the same time. I was wondering if any water should be coming out of tub spout when showering? The diverter is turned all the way when showering. I would appreciate your input on this.. Thank you, Ed

Will the symmons temptrol seat removal tool, work to remove that part, or what is it that you used?

How do you get the handle off I have the same puller as you but it still will not come off is there any other way of doing it

Where can i find that Part im having the same issues but i can find the replacement parts to fix it? Plz let me know where i can find one

Good job Steve, you always have the good tool ! which model of camera are you using?

hn3m3s1s good,and the right tool, are key for a easy job

Just replaced mine but now have some water coming out of tub when lever is set to shower. Any idea why this would be?

My problem is that the spindle within the housing won't turn. It's almost like the diameter of the housing is smaller now so it's very tight. It was a bear to get out and just as hard to put the new spindle in. I had to knock it with a hammer to get it all the way in. How do I fix this? I do have well water and was told it had sand in it. Any suggestions?

I can hear a drip in between the wall even when the water is shut off(not from the main). Could this be the same issue I'm having? Would it be different set up on delta?

Hi Steven, My poor plumber just installed new Symmons shower/tub valve (repiped) after my plumber struggling install, water came out from shower always, even diverta turned both shower and tub side water came out. plumber said he doesn't know why... he soldered quit messy. could you please tell me what is wrong with it or suggest? I want try fix it by myself. I can trust my guy.... so sad.

good video,, who makes that 4way tool you got there

nate symmons 4 way tool its made just to repair this type of sysmmons valve ..

Wait a minute! If this leak was behind the wall, how did they know there was a leak? Was it dripping towards the front of the shutoff valve or was there some kind of mold or moisture problem elsewhere? I am trying to prevent these plumbing nightmares that have taken over my life! You got some special tools there that will come in handy for me to check mine.
