The Symmons Identity™ series, comprising models 6700, 6701, and 6702, offers a range of tub/shower and shower systems designed for both residential and commercial applications. These systems are powered by the Temptrol® pressure-balancing valve, a key feature that ensures consistent water temperature by compensating for sudden changes in hot or cold water supply pressure. This pressure-balancing technology is crucial for user comfort and safety, preventing scalding or sudden cold shocks.

Function Description:

• 6700 Identity Tub/Shower System: This model provides both tub and shower functionality. It includes a tub spout and a showerhead, allowing users to switch between the two outputs. The system is equipped with an adjustable stop screw to limit handle turn, which can be set to control the maximum hot water temperature, enhancing safety. Components are made from a combination of metal and nonmetallic materials, finished in standard polished chrome.
• 6701 Identity Shower System: Designed exclusively for showering, this system features a single-mode showerhead with easy-to-clean rubber nozzles. It includes a standard 2.5 gpm (9.5 L/min) flow restrictor, promoting water conservation. Like the 6700, it utilizes the Temptrol® pressure-balancing valve and an adjustable stop screw for temperature control.
• 6702 Identity Tub/Shower System: Similar to the 6700, this model also offers both tub and shower functions. It includes a diverter tub spout and a single-mode showerhead with easy-to-clean rubber nozzles. The standard flow restrictor is 2.5 gpm (9.5 L/min). The key difference from the 6700 is the explicit mention of a diverter tub spout and a single-mode showerhead, suggesting a more specific configuration for the shower component.

Important Technical Specifications:

The systems are compliant with ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 standards, indicating adherence to North American plumbing codes for safety and performance.

Flow Restrictors:

• Optional -1.5: 1.5 gpm (5.7 L/min)
• Optional -2.0: 2.0 gpm (7.6 L/min)
• Standard: 2.5 gpm (9.5 L/min) (for 6701 and 6702)

Showerhead Options:

• Standard: Single mode with easy-to-clean rubber nozzles (for 6701 and 6702)
• Optional -143: 3 mode showerhead
• Optional -145: 5 mode showerhead
• Optional -231: 2 mode showerhead

Handle Options:

• Standard: Lever handle (implied by RTS-084 replacement part)
• Optional -LP: Loop handle
• Optional -LR: Lever handle

Connection Types:

• Optional -IPS: 1/2" female IPS connections

Dimensions (Rough-in and Finished):

• Shower Arm (A): 5-7/8" (149 mm)
• Showerhead (B): 4-5/8" (117 mm)
• Valve Rough-in (I): 2-3/8" ± 1/2" (60 mm ± 13 mm)
• Shower Valve Hole Size (F): Min. Ø 3" (76 mm), Max. Ø 4" (102 mm)
• Tub Spout Protrusion (J): Male 1/2" NPT fitting must protrude 4" (102 mm) from finished wall.
• Shower Arm Height (K): Ref. 32" (813 mm) for 6700, 6702; Ref. 42" (1067 mm) for 6701.

Usage Features:

• Temperature Control: The Temptrol® valve allows for precise temperature adjustment. Turning the handle counter-clockwise approximately 1/4 turn sets it to cold, 1/2 turn to warm, and 3/4 turn to hot. The adjustable stop screw provides a safety mechanism to prevent accidental scalding by limiting the maximum hot water temperature.
• Diverter Control (for 6702 only): A diverter lever on the tub spout allows users to switch between tub spout operation (lever down) and shower operation (lever up).
• Easy-to-Clean Nozzles: The showerheads on models 6701 and 6702 feature easy-to-clean rubber nozzles, simplifying maintenance and preventing mineral buildup.
• Modification Options: A wide array of modifications allows for customization to suit specific needs and preferences:
  • Flow Restriction: Options for reduced flow rates (-1.5, -2.0) for water conservation.
  • Showerhead Types: Multiple mode showerheads (-143, -145, -231) for varied spray patterns.
  • Handle Styles: Loop (-LP) or Lever (-LR) handles.
  • Connection Types: 1/2" female IPS connections (-IPS).
  • Less Showerhead: The -L/HD option allows for installations where a different showerhead is desired.
  • Oval Plate: The -OP option provides a 13" oval plate for aesthetic or installation flexibility.
  • Reverse Coring: The -REV option is for back-to-back installations where hot is on the right and cold on the left.
  • Slip Spout: The -SS option provides a slip spout for tub/shower units.
  • Finish: Satin Nickel finish (-STN) is available as an alternative to polished chrome.
  • Trim Only: The -TRM option provides only the trim, excluding the valve.
  • Integral Service Stops: The -X option includes integral service stops, allowing water shutoff at the valve for maintenance without affecting the entire water supply.
  • Integral Check Stops: The -CHKS option is for installations where a positive shut-off device is used downstream of the mixing valve.

Maintenance Features:

• Finish Care: For spotting on the finish, the recommended solution is to clean the trim area with a soft cloth, mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive cleaner, followed by a quick rinse. This helps prevent water staining from elements in the water supply.
• Rebuild Trim Kit: The -REB-TRM option provides a rebuild trim kit, suggesting that components are designed for repair and replacement, extending the life of the system.
• Integral Service Stops (-X): This feature simplifies maintenance by allowing water shutoff directly at the valve, making repairs or replacements easier without needing to shut off the main water supply to the entire building.
• Installation Notes:
  • Silicone application around the perimeter of shower trim (leaving an opening at the bottom for a weep hole) helps prevent water intrusion.
  • Plumber tape is recommended for all threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.

Warranty:

• Limited Lifetime Warranty: For the original end purchaser in consumer/residential installations.
• 10 Years Warranty: For commercial/industrial installations. Detailed warranty information is available on the Symmons website.
