*Turn off the water to the valve before proceeding!
**Before removing the handle, open the valve as if you were going to take a normal shower (approximately half a turn).
CAUTION: Failure to open the valve before removing the cap assembly (TA-12A) will result in damage to the cap and spindle.
Removing valve trim
- Remove the plug button (T-33) from the temperature control handle (T-31).
- Remove the handle screw (T-32) and remove the temperature control handle.
- Remove the two escutcheon screws (T-28). Remove the dial [T-29(A,B,C)] and escutcheon (T-27).
- Remove the dome cover (T-19/20) by unscrewing in a counter-clockwise direction.
Opening valve
- Remove the cap assembly by using a wrench and turning in a
counter-clockwise direction, the spindle assembly will come out with
it. Separate the cap from the spindle by unscrewing the cap in a
counter-clockwise direction.
Replacing washers or spindle
- At this point you can rebuild or replace the spindle. To
rebuild use the TA-9 washer kit. Hint: Place the handle on the spindle
so that you can hold it stationary. Remove the hot washer screw (T-5)
and the hot washer (T-6). Remove the cold washer (T-8) by using
adjustable pliers turning counter-clockwise on the cold washer retainer
(T-7).
- Reverse the above steps to reassemble the spindle with the new parts.
Replacing seats
- To replace the seats you will need to use the seat removal
tools (T-35A/B) and TA-4 seat kit. Insert the larger seat tool (T-35A)
into the valve until it engages in the notches of larger cold seat near
top of valve. CAUTION: Use extreme care to make sure the
wrench is engaged into the notches in order to prevent stripping of the
notches. Remove by unthreading in a counter-clockwise direction.
- Next insert the smaller tool (T-35B) until it engages in the small
hot seat located at the back of the valve. Remove by unthreading in a
counter-clockwise direction.
- Reassemble with new seats from TA-4 Kit, reversing steps 9-8. Tighten both seats to 15 foot-pounds of torque.
- Reverse the above steps 5-1 to reassemble your valve and trim. Be
sure the spindle assembly is drawn close to the cap before screwing the
cap back into the valve. CAUTION: Failure to do this will cause damage to the cap and spindle.
