Review on Symmons 261XBODY Temptrol Brass Pressure-Balancing Shower Valve: Enhanced Control with Service Stops by Seth Damain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Rough plumbing price right

I have a Symmons shower valve that is 25 years old and it started dripping when closed. Rather than hiring a plumber to replace the shims, I decided to purchase this item and just use the stem assembly to replace my old stem assembly. I could buy a repair kit, but I couldn't always just change the shims. So I fixed my drip valve for $50 and it only took 20 minutes.

Pros
  • Adjustable stop screw to limit handle rotation
Cons
  • Some bugs
