Tub/Shower System (Figure 2) Model C-96-2

Pipe shower head from outlet marked

“S” and to tub spout from outlet marked “T”. The valve in this system has a built-in choke for use with a diverter spout. The built-in choke is designed so that it cannot be subject to any back pressure, other than is imposed by the spout supplied with this package. DO

NOT SUBSTITUTE OTHER OUTLET ACCESSORIES FOR THE TUB SPOUT (SUCH AS HOSE AND SPRAY, SHOWER HEAD, BODY SPRAY, LEDGE SPOUTS, ETC.) OR ANY PIPE ADAPTER OR ADDITIONAL FITTINGS (SUCH AS PEX, ETC.) THAT CAN CAUSE BACK PRESSURE THROUGH THE VALVE. Install HOT

on left and COLD on right according to valve markings.

QUITE DIRTY, REMOVE VALVE SPINDLE OR STOP SPINDLES (IF SO EQUIPPED) TO INSURE PROPER FLUSHING. See service instructions.

7. Push escutcheon (T-169) against wall and secure to valve with two escutcheon screws (DF-9B). Mount temperature control handle (RC-14X) on valve spindle spline as shown in ﬁgure 9. Install shower arm, ﬂange and shower head. See Figures 2 and 3.

8. Do not install positive shut-off devices on the outlet of this valve or devices that do not allow the valve to ﬂow at least 1 GPM at 50 psi inlet pressure. EXCEPTION: If a self-closing or slowclosing valve is installed on the outlet, the supplies of the valve must be equipped with checks to eliminate hot to cold by-pass in the event the valve’s handle is not turned to off after use. Contact your factory representative or Symmons directly for information on available checks.

FIBERGLASS WALL INSTALLATION

When installing Temptrol® in ﬁberglass

or panel walls and it is desired to sandwich wall between valve body and escutcheon, cut hole in wall as shown in Figure 5 and mount valve with T-177 wall mounting ﬂange from rear. Note: It is always

recommended to secure valve piping to rough construction and not depend on ﬁberglass wall for valve mounting security. On

panel walls over 1” thick, install in conventional manner.

OPERATION OF VALVE

The main handle of the Temptrol® valve is for control of temperature only. From the OFF position, the handle is turned counter-clockwise through a minimum cold position, through a warm and hot position for a maximum turn of approximately one revolution. This allows for wide range of

temperature adjustments to suit the requirements of any user.

CARE AND CLEANING

The lustrous ﬁnish on your Temptrol valve should be treated with care. It can be readily damaged by improper handling or abusive treatment. To clean the ﬁnish wipe gently with a soft damp cloth and blot dry with a soft towel. Use only a mild soap solution if required. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEAN-

ERS. USE OF POLISH, ABRASIVE CLEANERS, SOLVENTS OR ACID CLEANERS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND VOID THE SYMMONS WARRANTY.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

1. Shut off water supply to valve.

2. Remove handle plug button (T-33) and handle (T-31).

3. Remove dial [T-29(A,B,C)] and escutch- eon (T-27) by removing escutcheon screws (T-28). Remove all remaining trim.

4. Open valve to about warm position and unscrew cap (T-12A). Warning: Failure to do this will damage cap and spindle. Spindle assembly (TA-10) will be removed with cap. Leave packing nut (T-17) in place while unscrewing cap to avoid distortion.

5. Ordinary service to eliminate drip- ping or not shutting off requires only the replacement of parts supplied in washer and gasket kit (TA-9). Hold spindle with (T3-31) handle while removing hot washer screw and cold washer retainer (remove retainer with channel lock pliers).

6. Inspect top surfaces of hot and cold seats and replace if necessary. Impor- tant: When replacing hot and cold seats, always replace both seats. Even if only one seat appears worn, both seats must be replaced. Use part No. (TA-4). After long years of service, if spindle is very loose in cold seat, replace with part no. (TA-4). Use seat removal tool [T-35(A,B)] for removal and replace- ment of (TA-4). If seats are difcult to remove and tool shifts damaging notches, relocate tool in second posi- tion of notches. Tighten both seats to 15 foot pounds of torque.

7. The perforated end of the (TA-10) spindle assembly houses the balancing piston which is the heart of this pres- sure balancing valve. The piston should be free to move back and forth and should click when the spindle assembly

is shaken. If deposits block this action, tap the handle end of the spindle against a solid object to free the piston. Soaking in household vinegar will help free foreign matter. If this does not free piston, replace (TA-10) spindle assembly. DO NOT TAMPER WITH

PERFORATED CYLINDER ON THE SPINDLE ASSEMBLY OR ATTEMPT REMOVAL OF THE PISTON.

8. Reassemble, reversing above pro- cedure, be sure spindle assembly is drawn close to the cap before screw- ing cap back into valve. WARNING: FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL DAMAGE CAP AND SPINDLE.

9. USE ONLY SYMMONS GENUINE REPAIR PARTS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES AND IMPAIR PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR VALVE.

TEMPTROL® SERIES SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

SERVICE

1. Shut off water supply to valve or close valve integral screw driver stops by turning in clockwise direction after step 3.

2. Loosen set screw (SC-15A) and remove handle (RC-14X) (see ﬁgure 9).

3. Remove escutcheon (T-169) by removing escutcheon screws (DF-9B). Remove all remaining trim.

5. Ordinary service to eliminate dripping or not shutting off requires only the replacement of parts supplied in washer and gasket kit (TA-9). Hold spindle with handle while removing hot washer screw and cold washer

TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART

Problem Cause Solution (Follow service instructions)

Valve will not pass water. Hot and cold water not turned on. Turn on both supplies. Valve will not operate

Valve leaks when shut off. Hot and cold washers are worn, or foreign

retainer (remove retainer with channel lock pliers).

6. Inspect top surfaces of hot and cold seats and replace if necessary. Important: When replacing hot and cold seats, always replace both seats. Even if only one seat appears worn, both seats must be replaced. Use part No. (TA-4). After long years of service, if spindle is very loose in cold seat, replace with part no. (TA-4). Use seat removal tool [T-35(A,B)] for removal and replacement of (TA-4). If seats are difﬁcult to remove and tool shifts damaging notches, relocate tool in second position of notches. Tighten both seats to 15 foot pounds of torque.

7. The perforated end of the (TA-10) spindle assembly houses the balancing piston which is the heart of this pressure balancing valve. The piston should be

matter (solder, chips, etc.) are between washers and seat surfaces

free to move back and forth and should click when the spindle assembly is shaken. If deposits block this action, tap the handle end of the spindle against a solid object to free the piston. Soaking in household vinegar will help free foreign matter. If this does not free piston, replace (TA-10) spindle assembly. DO

NOT TAMPER WITH PERFORATED CYLINDER ON THE SPINDLE ASSEMBLY OR ATTEMPT REMOVAL OF THE PISTON.

8. Reassemble, reversing above procedure, be sure spindle assembly is drawn close to the cap before screwing cap back into valve. Warning: Failure to do this will damage cap and spindle.

9. Use only Symmons Genuine Repair Parts. FaIlure to do so will void all warranties AND IMPAIR PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR VALVE.

unless both HOT and COLD water pressure is turned on.

Replace Hot and Cold washers, inspect top surface on hot and cold seats and replace if necessary.

Temperature control handle is turned from cold to hot (or hot back to cold) and volume from spout or head is not constant.

Valve delivers sufcient quantity of cold, but little hot, or the reverse of this.

Temperature varies without moving handle. Same as above Same as above

Valve delivery temperature reduces gradually during use; must be turned on to hotter positions to maintain constant temperature.

Valve delivers hot water when initially opened and water turns colder when the handle is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction.

In tub/shower valves, when diverter is set in shower position a trickle of water runs from tub spout.

Pressure balancing piston housed in spindle assembly is blocked from free movement by foreign matter.

Same as above Same as above

Overdraw on hot water supply, i.e., running out of hot water.

Valve is piped incorrectly, i.e., the hot supply is piped to the cold inlet to the valve and the cold supply is piped to the hot inlet of the valve.

A design function of this valve is to allow a trickle of water from the tub spout when diverter is set for shower position, This trickle of water is necessary to ensure safe operation in that the valve will be shut off at main handle and NOT with diverter handle.

With valve open half way, remove handle and tap spindle with plastic hammer. If problem not solved, remove spindle assembly completely and tap handle against solid object to free piston. Soaking in household vinegar will help free foreign matter.

Reduce maximum ow by using volume control adjustment on valve or shower head. This will allow longer period of use before overdrawing hot water supply.

If piping is accessible, correct piping connections to the valve. If piping is not accessible, contact factory to order a reverse seat and tool (T-108 KIT). Older installations may require replacement of the hot seat (T-1) as well
