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.
Tub or Shower System (Figure 3)
Model C-96-1
Shower System: Pipe shower head
from outlet marked “S”. Install either
the included copper sweat or 1/2”-14
NPT plug (pipe sealer required) into the
outlet marked “T” (see figure 3A).
Tub only System: Pipe tub spout
from outlet marked “T”. Install either
the included copper sweat or 1/2”-14
NPT plug (pipe sealer required) into the
outlet marked “S” (figure 3A).
2. When finishing tile wall REMOVE (pull
off; don’t turn) ENTIRE PROTECTIVE
ROUGH-IN SHIELD and FILL AREA
AROUND VALVE BODY WITH GROUT
OR PLASTER.

4. Tighten packing nut (T-17) for positive
frictional resistance to handle turn
throughout adjustment cycle and at
shut-off position. Check valve cap,
packing nut, all valve, pipe and fitting
connections for leaks.
5. SET LIMIT STOP SCREW AS DIRECTED
AFTER “IMPORTANT” IN BOLD TYPE ON
PAGE ONE. Attach dome cover (T-19)
onto packing nut (T-17) and secure
with lock nut (T-20).
6. ALLOW VALVE TO RUN IN WARM
POSITION FOR A FEW MINUTES TO
TOTALLY FLUSH SYSTEM. IF SYSTEM IS
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.
