About
In 1939, Paul Symmons invented the world’s first pressure-balancing, anti-scald shower valve. That innovation is established as the industry standard—and it's still the foundation of our business today. Our iconic Temptrol® valve is made right in our Braintree, Massachusetts factory and it’s built to handle the relentless demands of the hospitality environment.
At Symmons, we understand that hotel plumbing isn’t just pipes and valves—it’s a critical piece of a positive guest experience. That’s why hospitality brands all over North America and beyond trust us for products that are built to last, are easy to maintain, and are backed by a team that always answers the call.
The Temptrol valve is still our flagship. Every decorative trim collection we offer is compatible with any Temptrol valve, all the way back to those made in 1968. And when it’s time for service, a quick rebuild with genuine Symmons parts renews the warranty—10 years for commercial use, lifetime for residential. Just a few minutes with basic hand tools, and you have a fresh new look, new precision-made internal components, and a side order of peace of mind.
But today, Symmons goes far beyond hotel room walls.
That’s where Evolution by Symmons® comes in. Evolution is a wireless building management system that detects leaks, monitors temperature and humidity, and prevents water issues before they become expensive headaches. With AI and Machine Learning capabilities, Evolution delivers predictive insights to help property managers proactively prevent water issues and reduce insurance costs. It even integrates with our upcoming Digital Master Mixing Valve.
For more than 85 years, Symmons has partnered with hospitality leaders who expect more than just a great shower valve. They expect long-lasting durability, consistent quality, and a team that’s committed to making things right.
Symmons. We Make Things Right.
