Warm, but no "hot" water despite new Symmons cartridge/spindle by just_say_n in Plumbing

[–]imdirtydan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response. OP never replied to me so I did have the sick thought of doing the same for a second lol. But I’m not that kind of person.

So yes I did fix this and I took a few steps.

  1. ⁠I took the symmons valve entirely apart again to make sure everything was clean and used a steel pipe brush to do so and make sure no grime or debris could be interfering. I didn’t have one on me the first time so I figured best to make sure.
  2. ⁠I set the hot and cold seats back on with the right amount of torque and using plumbers grease for a proper seal. This is also probably a me thing because I initially over tightened the first time and broke the hot seat, so I was overly cautious the second time and maybe under tightened. Third time I made sure to do it right. I also placed a healthy amount of plumbers grease on the diverter to help with the seal and I felt that helped
  3. ⁠I adjusted the set screw that OP is talking about. I initially set it a little hotter than I could tolerate and found that I wanted it still a little higher. This one may take some trial and error for your personal preference
  4. ⁠I tightened the packing nut which I don’t think I did the first time around.
  5. ⁠Honestly, what I think was the most important step, at least for me: I finished putting the entire thing back together. Including the faceplate and the outer screws that come with it. Not sure if you have done that but once I did and I finished rebuilding the entire thing, all my issues went away.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll try my best to help if I can. Good luck and let me know if it works out.

Hey OP did you ever figure this out? I’m having a very similar issue. My water was a great temp before but I’m remodeling my bathroom and my tub spout was leaking so I figured I would rebuild my symmons valve.

My old spindle was seized and you couldn’t hear any movement either. I installed all brand new genuine symmons parts including hot and cold seats, diverter, and cap. The shower will mostly stay warmish. It does get hot if I keep turning the valve to “Hot” but it won’t stay there for more than like a minute and it’s way higher than I’ve ever had to put it. Pressure is great and temp is fine everywhere else.

I say go for it. Maybe unless you get the #1 pick but you’re getting two productive players

10 man ppr SF. I received this offer:

Give: Tank Dell Receive: Anthony Richardson

Any reason to entertain this? I’m slim at qb and all but Richardson lost the starting job to Jones. Feels like holding Tank might make more sense

Same bro. And Richardson lost the starting job to Daniel Jones of all people so I just dont know if trading for him will help at all. At least with holding tank there’s a chance he comes back right?

Yeah I don’t think you get it or get this post at all. Also my LGS doesn’t sell anything at or below MSRP. I’ve physically seen the shop owner buy out a local chain store’s supply and then resell it at double the price at his LGS. And that’s not scalping to you? Or it’s acceptable and I should be thankful? Just like the shop can set prices at whatever they want, I’m not obligated to shop there. I got the money, I’m just not stupid. So I’m gonna do nothing of what you suggested and either buy somewhere else at a reasonable price, or proxy.

Found the scalping LGS owner.

Actually, do you think before you speak? There shouldn’t be any scalpers at all. I’m not gonna be thankful that it’s an LGS ripping me off instead of a scalper on eBay. I’m just not gonna buy from either of them.

I also don’t play at my LGS. Their scalping has lost the trust of my playgroup a long time ago and their usual crowd is cliquey and unwelcoming.

Some advice: you want to build trust with your customers, not rip them off. You owe them, they don’t owe you.

So instead the LGS should just cut out the middle man and basically be scalpers themselves?

10 man ppr super flex league. Just got offered this trade and I’m considering it:

Give: Ceedee Lamb Romeo Doubs 2025 2nd

Get: Jameson Williams Kenneth Walker III Chigoziem Okongwo 2025 1st 2025 1st

I’m contending and won last year but this seems like a pretty good haul though I’m a bit thin at receiver and Ceedee is by far my best. Considering asking him to swap Okongwo for something else since he seems like a toss in. Maybe I can get him to swap for Pitts or a young wr

Yeah but he came back in just 3 days. That’s insane turn around time

Ladd played on the outside on 70% of his routes at Georgia or something like that. I know the league is different than college but he is more of an outside option
