SYMMONS SC-2 Safetymix Valve
Product Information
The Safetymix valve is a plumbing fixture that controls the temperature of
water. It consists of individual parts such as flow control spindle, spindle
assembly, plaster shield, lever handle,
cap, renewable seat, packing nut with O-rings, cold washer retainer, hot
washer screw, hot and cold washers, escutcheon, escutcheon screw, dome cover,
handle screw, packing, cap gasket,
top seat o-ring & bottom seat gasket, limit stop with o-ring, escutcheon
gasket, washer & gasket kit-B, renewable seat unit complete, renewable seat
socket wrench, and repair units. It can be installed in fiberglass or panel
walls and allows for infinite temperature adjustments to suit user
requirements.
Product Usage
To install the Safetymix valve in fiberglass or panel walls and sandwich the
wall between the valve body and escutcheon, cut a hole in the wall as shown in
Figure 4 and mount the valve from the rear. It is recommended to secure valve
piping to rough construction and not depend on fiberglass wall for valve
mounting security. For panel walls over 1 inch thick, install in conventional
manner (See figure 1). The main handle of the Safetymix valve is for control
of
temperature only. From the OFF position, the handle is turned counter-
clockwise through a minimum cold position, through a warm and hot position for
a maximum turn of approximately one revolution. This allows for infinite
temperature adjustments to suit the requirements of any user. To clean the
finish of the Safetymix valve, wipe gently with a soft damp cloth and blot dry
with a soft towel. Use only a mild soap solution if required. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE CLEANERS. USE OF POLISH, ABRASIVE CLEANERS, SOLVENTS OR ACID CLEANERS
WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND VOID THE SYMMONS WARRANTY.

When installing Safetymix in fiberglass or panel walls and it is desired to
sandwich wall between valve body and escutcheon, cut hole in wall as shown in
Figure 4 and mount valve from rear.

construction and not depend on fiberglass wall for valve mounting security. On
panel walls over 1″ thick, install in conventional manner. (See figure 1).
OPERATION OF VALVE
The main handle of the Safetymix valve is for control of temperature only. From the OFF position, the handle is turned counter-clockwise through a minimum cold position, through a warm and hot position for a maximum turn of approximately one revolution. This allows for infinite temperature adjustments to suit the requirements of any user.
CARE AND CLEANING
The lustrous finish on your Safetymix valve should be treated with care. It can be readily damaged by improper handling or abusive treatment. To clean the finish wipe gently with a soft damp cloth and blot dry with a soft towel. Use only a mild soap solution if required. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. USE OF POLISH, ABRASIVE CLEANERS, SOLVENTS OR ACID CLEANERS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND VOID THE SYMMONS WARRANTY.
