I have been doing some work in my bathroom and was planning to replace the 30 year old Symmons Temptrol show valve while I had access to the back of the shower wall. After looking at where I would be working, I decided I did not want to try and do the soldering necessary in the space available. Instead, I gutted the new valve and put all of the new parts into the old Temptrol body.
After completing this work, the unit drips from the spout - not too much, just a one or two second drip - unless you seriously crank down the handle. It was this way before I replaced all the parts and I'm disappointed and surprised that it still does this with the new seats and valve. What do you have to do to these valves to get them to shut off easily and completely?
