What is a handle limit stop and how do I set or adjust it?
Last Updated: 03/25/2010
All Symmons pressure-balancing shower valves come equipped with a handle limit stop to set the handle rotation. The limit stop is used to limit the valve handle from being turned to excessively hot water discharge temperatures. CAUTION: Never remove this screw without turning off the hot and cold water supplies.

  1. To set the shower valve handle limit stop, remove the screw holding on the handle and remove the handle.
  2. Remove the round dome cover by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. At this point you will see a small slotted screw head that is visible in the valve cap.
  3. Place the handle on the valve stem (loose) and open the valve turning the handle until the maximum desired position is reached.
  4. Turn the screw in a clockwise direction until it seats to set the handle limit stop.
  5. Shut off the valve and re-attach dome and handle.
