2. Remove handle (VT-112) by loosening
handle screw and pull off handle.
Unscrew dome cover (SC-13), lift off
indicator (VT-104) gently with thin screw
driver in slot so as not to break snaps.
Unscrew two escutcheon screws and
remove escutcheon assembly by sliding
toward you being careful not to damage
thermometer tube. Place escutcheon
face down on soft surface to prevent
damage.
3. Open valve to about warm position
and unscrew cap (SC-2). WARNING:
FAILURE TO OPEN VALVE WILL
DAMAGE CAP AND SPINDLE. Spindle
assembly (C-5) will be removed with cap.
Leave packing nut (SC-7) in place while
unscrewing cap to avoid distortion.
4. Ordinary service to eliminate dripping
or not shutting off requires only the
replacement of parts supplied in washer
and gasket kit (KIT-B-VT). Hold spindle
with valve handle (VT-112) while
removing hot washer screw (SC-10A)
and cold washer retainer (SC-9) (remove

wrench (C-50). Tighten seat to 15 foot
pounds of torque.
6. The perforated end of the (C-5) spindle
assembly houses the balancing piston

be free to move back and forth and
should click when the spindle assembly
is shaken. If deposits block this action,
tap the handle end of the spindle
against a solid object to free the piston.
Soaking in household vinegar will help
free foreign matter. If this does not free
piston, replace (C-5) spindle assembly.
