As one of the best plumbing tools, our team at A&Z World wants to ensure that you get the job done correctly the first time. These instructions will explain in four simple steps how to remove the larger cold seat (TA-3) located in the front of the valve cavity, and the smaller hot seat (TA-1) located in the back of the valve cavity. Symmons sells both seats together as a seat replacement kit (TA-4).
