I went and completely stripped the cold seat on my Symmons Model A Temptrol.
The brass peeled off like butter - so smooth I thought the seat was turning.
Has anyone ever successfully used a stripped screw extractor on one of these?
If so, what type of cutters did it have? What was the brand?
Symmons recommended I try a #6 - but there are lots of different extractors out there.
Any advice on making this fix work or other ideas on how to save the valve would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
- one more thing - The entire inside of my valve is green - is trying to get the seat out at all just a fools errand?
