Paradigm Shift

For over 80 years, the Symmons Temptrol tub & shower valves have been the preferred tub & shower valves. This is because of their ease of installation, professional grade design, and most importantly, because this valve can be repaired and rebuilt from the face without the need to cut open walls and replace the valve like most others.

However, there is a challenge everyone runs into: After years of use, the seats can become calcified and hard to remove, leading to stripped seats when using the current tools available. This requires replacement of the entire valve instead of a rebuild. Zachary Zufelt, a master plumber for over 30 years, has come up with a solution to this common problem: The Zip Seat Extractor Power Wrench.

The only dual-action powered seat removal wrench on the market.

“When a shower valve is stripped, it could turn a one-hour job into several days if the wall needs to be cut open. These jobs were unpredictable! The Zip Seat Extractor Power Wrench is a major leap forward, from a hand tool to a power tool. It works on any impact driver, drill, or screw gun. Although the tool wasn’t designed for it, we’ve even been able to remove stripped strips! The Zip Seat Extractor has been field tested on hundreds of valves with a 100% success rate.”
