Review on πŸ’― Symmons Temptrol Valve REB Complete Rebuild Kit - Enhanced for Optimal Performance by Joe Garczynski

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unscrew the union nut 1.

Qualitatively simple installation. But as a retired plumber who specializes in renovations rather than the current job, I felt the posted instructions were lacking. I've seen people say the water flow is low. The posted image also doesn't mention the stem packing nut. A 14mm socket fits perfectly. This is a double ended nut onto which a chrome plate is screwed. In my case water got into the handle around the stem, I had to remove the gland nut and replace it with a graphite packing. Plus loosening that makes it easier to remove the valve body stem and castle nut, which is the very first part to remove to get to the inside of the body.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • Few errors
