How to fix a leaking, dripping Delta faucet by replacing the o-rings, springs, seats, or cartridge.

[@vanw7019]

the best instructions and learned to reuse and keep the cartridge with new o rings.

[@FixItDepot]

Glad it helped you fix the faucet and save some money too.

[@gonzo13]

Appreciate it!!! You just kept me from ordering a $400 faucet set

[@Boe81]

Thank you for the up close footage of the spring and seats

[@Miami7]

Thank you!!!! That tiny hole where the allen wrench goes is what tripped me up. I couldn't see it well enough with a magnifying glass and even a light to tell if it was a screw or not. This saved us from buying a whole new faucet appliance!

[@FixItDepot]

I’m glad to hear that it saved you from buying another faucet. Thanks for watching it.

[@mb101367]

Thank you! I have the very same problem with my Delta faucet. Gonna head to HD this weekend

[@mb101367]

I had to actually replace the stem..no big deal. Thanks again for the video.

[@DaneC020]

Video is pretty good. I had a sink with no stop, going to fix it now!

[@dla872]

Very nicely done. Thank you for posting. Appreciate your time.

[@how2q]

Great explanation!! Thx for taking time to make!!

[@klairepatterson8873]

If you purchased this Delta faucet, all of that should be covered by the lifetime warranty. I have one exactly like it except it for a dry sink. They sent the parts to me F-R-E-E. The whole cartridge... not just parts. Fortunately I had registered it and found the date of purchase. Great video regardless.

[@FixItDepot]

Thanks for watching and the tip.

Good video , going to fix mine this weekend

[@claireinmich]

You are so welcome!

[@cw4608]

I should have watched this first!

[@FixItDepot]

Hope you got it fixed. Thanks for watching.

[@chadeurton4508]

What size Allen wrench did you use for this repair?

[@FixItDepot]

Sorry but it has been a while and I don’t remember the exact size.

[@chadeurton4508]

Help! I can’t pull of the base of the handle. My Delta faucet was leaking hot water from the spout, so I turned off the hot water to the faucet. I removed the set screw, but the base of the hot water handle simply will not come off. I noticed you got yours removed at 1:00 minute in, but mine just won’t lift off. I’ve sprayed it with penetrating oil and still it won’t budge. I previously, a couple of years ago removed the handle on the cold water side in order to replace a washer when the cold water was leaking, so I know this base should just come up and off, but it is not moving. Strangely enough, now that I have sprayed the hot water base with penetrating oil, now when I turn on the COLD water that causes water to leak out beneath the HOT water handle base. This is a very odd symptom. How can I get the base of the hot water handle to come off?

[@FixItDepot]

Mine was difficult to remove too. Sounds like you are doing the right thing with the penetrating oil. I would let it work longer and see if that helps. After that, I would gently tap it, or keep pouring hot water on the handle to expand it and hope it breaks lose. Good luck with it.

[@suzannehofer2541]

This is very similar to mine, except I have the 4 inch spread.

[@ramirosandoval4097]

How did you remove the spring and gasket from the main base?

[@FixItDepot]

just use needle nose plyers to grab it and it should come right out.

[@patrickvhall]

Did you put it back in with the needle nose plyers as well? I can’t get it back in 😂

[@figglewiggle5826]

Hey, is it possible to take the lift rod out of the faucet? Like completely? I’m trying to clean inside the faucet part. I removed the faucet, just don’t know how to get into it

[@FixItDepot]

If you are talking about the rod that controls the plunger, it can be removed. Should be a clamp under the cabinet holding on to the rod. It is easy to remove.

[@sukerdomner3894]

Do you have a link or part number for the replacement valve stem? I have exact same faucet. Thanks!

[@FixItDepot]

Sorry I don't have that number.

[@thezzach]

Thank you !

[@rockereb]

Thanks!

[@FixItDepot]

Welcome!

[@damonsmith8488]

Will the nozzle come off like the handles once the allen screw is removed? My nozzle is leaking underneath the plywood decking where the water line connects.

[@FixItDepot]

The main nozzle cannot be removed. Sounds like it might be leaking where the water line connects to the faucet. Try looking from beneath the cabinet to see if you can spot the leak. Might end up pulling the complete faucet out. Good luck.

[@drumtwo4seven]

Nice 👍

[@FixItDepot]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad it was helpful.

[@sureshshah8367]

If set screw is not moving what to do

[@FixItDepot]

Sometimes they get stuck from calcium or other buildup over the years. Try spraying it with WD40 oil and let it sit for a while. Sometimes that doesn’t work either and not much more you can do except drill it out.

[@drumtwo4seven]

LIQUID WRENCH 🔧

[@greghillmusic]

Man I can't fit the black seat back in the hole with the spring! Not even the old seat! I don't get it!

[@FixItDepot]

If it came out, it should go back in. hope you got it fixed.

[@My_Cal]

Thanks man

[@FixItDepot]

You're welcome!

[@FixItDepot]

Saved you some money by doing yourself.

[@sureshshah8367]

[@drumtwo4seven]

WD-40, LIQUID WRENCH 🔧

[@nelsbruce79]

my handle will not line up for on and off

[@jeffstanley4593]

Actually, Delta will send you the replacement parts for free. Call them.

[@BBQLord.]

It's a HEX Key, NOT an Alan Wrench.

[@FixItDepot]

Thanks for the feedback and for watching.

[@My_Cal]

No its alen wrench

[@tonybussey8763]

You can call it what you want. Personally I name all my keys and wrenches. That particular size I called Frank,

[@myaccount5204]

You had me questioning myself so I googled it and found out that it is an “Allen” . Not exactly wrong to call it a Hex, but it’s definitely an Allen
