JCM 10,500 #1 Posted 10 hours ago This service work was done for a 30 year customer by me in their Master Bath installed by others. These fixtures are at least 35 years old. The tub faucets are in polished gold finish which have been very well taken care of over the years. The Symmons shower valve is brass but the trim is not. Always enjoyed working with quality Plumbing products and buying OEM parts knowing full well you could walk away and stand behind your work. I use food grade silicone grease on all parts on reassembly. In todays world you keep your fingers crossed and walk away. One of the main reasons I work for certain customers on a semi- retired basis. Lately I have been going through a LOT of stock and it bothers me to toss it out but I just will never use it all.

I remodeled my bath in 1985 and installed their Model B unit. About 8 years later, the hot side would not shut off tight. I could not remove the metal 3 flute knob! I called their Customer Service, and a VERY knowledgeable person told me the exact steps to cut it apart and remove it. I received a new loaded valve stem, gaskets, new style plastic knob, and snap-in cover. Shipped to my house - for the bubble.
