The TA-10 Spindle is the heart of the Temptrol valve and its design has remained unchanged since 1968. In addition to turning the water off and on, the TA-10 maintains consistent water temperature regardless of fluctuating water pressures, thanks to its unique pressure-balancing design.

If the valve produces only cold or only hot water, or produces no water at all, the TA-10 may be jammed with debris or minerals. A properly working TA-10 makes a noticeable clicking sound when shaken.

Once removed from the valve, a jammed TA-10 spindle can sometimes be resolved with a light tap downward to knock the debris loose. Spindles clogged with minerals can be cleaned by soaking in white vinegar until the pressure-balancing shuttle moves freely when the spindle is shaken.

If the shuttle does not move freely, or if the spindle is damaged, replace it with a new TA-10. If the valve is constantly dripping water from the tub spout or the showerhead, replace the washers on the spindle with the TA-9 Washer Repair Kit. Also be sure to check the TA-4 seats for damage or wear.

The Handle Screw Kit contains 10 spare set screws used in Temptrol handles, and 2 compatible Allen wrenches.

The Tub Spout Screw Kit includes 4 spare set screws used in Temptrol tub slip-spouts to secure the spout to the piping.

The T35C Tool Kit includes solid steel tools to replace the hot and cold seats for current and legacy Temptrol valves. Two sections of the tool join together with a locking pin to form a cross for handling and leverage.

Tool also includes the hex key to remove current and legacy Retainer Caps for diverter/volume control cartridges, and the fork tool needed to remove the Stop Spindle Retainer for hot and cold integral stops.

The TA-4 Kit contains replacement hot and cold seats for any Temptrol valve, all the way back to 1968. A common indicator of damaged or worn seats is water continuously dripping from the tub spout or showerhead when the valve is turned off.

Check the washers first, and if the TA-10 spindle is new or if a new TA-9 Washer Kit has been installed and the valve is still dripping, check the seats for damage or wear.

Seats should be replaced if they are damaged or worn and BOTH seats must be changed at the same time. The seats can be removed and installed using the Symmons T35C Universal Seat Removal Tool.

The TA-9 Washer Repair Kit includes new hot and cold washers, the cold washer retainer ring, and the hot washer screw for replacement on TA-10 spindles.

A T-11 Cap Gasket is also included. This rigid fiber gasket makes the watertight seal between the valve body and the Cap Assembly. Symmons recommends replacing this gasket whenever the valve is disassembled for maintenance.

If the valve is constantly dripping water from the tub spout or the showerhead, replace the washers on the spindle with the TA-9 Washer Repair Kit. Also be sure to check the TA-4 seats for damage or wear.

The T-16 Washer Repair Kit includes the packing washer, O-ring, and brass washers that are housed inside the T-12A Cap Assembly and make the watertight seal around the TA-10 spindle.

These washers, along with the T-17 Packing Nut, also control the tension on the spindle that determines how much force is needed to turn the valve off and on. This tension can be adjusted for customer preference or for users with mobility challenges.

The TA-10-EXT-KIT includes all of the parts needed to accommodate Temptrol valves that have been mounted too deep within the wall cavity, or for situations where the finished wall surface has added thickness that prevents the standard trim components from reaching the valve.

The parts in this kit include a spindle extension, longer handle screws, a diverter/volume control extension, and longer escutcheon screws.

The RTSTC1 Temptrol Test Cap is a solid brass cap that is installed temporarily in place of the T-12A Cap Assembly and TA-10 spindle for water piping system cleaning and testing, and/or for protection during construction.

When the piping system and valve are ready for normal use, the Test Cap is removed and replaced with the Cap Assembly, Cap Gasket, and the TA-10 spindle.

The Test Cap can be reused for future jobs. Installation of the Test Cap also requires the installation of a new T-11 Cap Gasket.

The T-11 Cap Gasket is a rigid fiber gasket that makes the watertight seal between the valve body and the Cap Assembly.

Symmons recommends replacing this gasket whenever the valve is disassembled for maintenance.

All Temptrol valves designed for Bath Fitter feature integral service stops that enable the water to be shut off at the valve for easy and convenient maintenance.

The Temptrol T-52 Service Stops Kit features 2 service stop spindles and 2 retainer rings, all made of solid brass. The retainer rings can be removed and installed using the Symmons T35C Universal Seat Removal Tool.

The Temptrol T-108 Reverse Seat and Tool is used to resolve unique situations where the hot and cold water supplies to the Temptrol valve are reversed, either accidentally or intentionally.

By simply changing the cold seat in the Temptrol valve to a T-109 Reverse Seat, the water flow from reversed hot and cold supplies is corrected, and the valve works normally.

This modified seat design is particularly helpful when hot and cold water piping supplies are accidentally piped in reverse; simply changing the standard seat to a reverse seat saves on labor and materials.

Similarly, in situations where multiple Temptrol valves are used in back-to-back shower configurations, designating one side as standard and the other side as reversed can significantly reduce labor and material costs.

T-109 Reverse Seats can only be removed or installed using the specially designed pentagon-shaped steel removal tool found inside the T-108 Reverse Seat Kit.
