For more than 50 years, the Symmons Temptrol Pressure-Balancing Tub and Shower Valve has been the safe and reliable choice for pressure-balanced tub and shower valves.The legendary Temptrol pressure-balancing, anti-scald mixing valve is the heart of every Symmons tub and shower system. Each valve is constructed of solid brass, bronze, and stainless steel, and features an adjustable piston that instantly and continually balances the hot and cold water pressure as demand fluctuates in the plumbing system.The Temptrol features a one-piece cast brass body with ½-inch NPT threaded and direct sweat connection inlets/outlets for easy installation, and factory-installed options are available for CPVC, PEX, and ProPress connections. It also includes the Symmons factory-installed Rapid Install Bracket, which cuts the time to install your tub and shower valve by 67%!This valve features the VersaFlex Integral Diverter, which diverts water flow to a variety of outlets without the need for a separate diverter valve. Not only is the Temptrol valve easy to install, but it is also simple to maintain and adjust when needed. A quick turn of the EasyService Stops isolates the valve completely, without the hassle of shutting down the entire water supply to your house or building.
