How to Install a Delta® Widespread Bathroom Faucet

[@StevenMitchell-gb3yp]

Great video. I installed a different model Delta but was able to do the install myself! Video easy to follow. Professionally done video. Thank you!

[@Kevin-kx8mk]

Great video, goes step by step. Perfect clarity on video.

THANK YOU DELTA! For making this video. I had to install one of your Lakewood collection faucets yesterday and the instructions were absolutely atrocious! A giant 3’ by 4’ double sided “diagram” of how to install it should have been my first clue to throw them away and just turn to KZbin. When the instructions begin with “Your installation may include one of the following,” I knew I was in trouble. That, and there was no parts list referring to that (1) is or what (5) is - or is supposed to be. This video was all the manual I needed.

[@stevendennis9417]

My problem is after installing the faucet, the handles went away from me to turn on instead of towards me. I reversed the cartridges and now they turn on in the "off" position and "off" in the on position. Maddening.

[@RealBlueLady]

Absolutely worst instructions ever written! Noticed all his parts are metal while all our parts are plastic.

[@douglaspierce7940]

Thanks for the great tutorial video. I just installed a Windemere Widespread Bathroom faucet. Your step-by-step instructions were very helpful. As we know, the printed instructions supplied with the faucet are not the best. - For anyone else installing this type of faucet with a Push Pop-Up Drain valve, there is a separate video which describes the process.

[@cassandragonzalez5660]

This was fantastic! I'm installing mine for the first time and needed this type of details, step by step.

[@tallynkagarise4285]

Thank you for this video. We installed a new faucet about a month ago and was having pressure issues. Our instructions didn’t show much about the aerator so it was still on and full of sediment.

I just completed a Trinsic sink faucet installation, which has the drop down nozzle. The instructions were poor as others have mentioned, with confusing information in the first step. It does say obliquely that there are two kinds of installations, but doesn't clearly say that the buyer will have either set A or set B parts in the kit. And of course there is no list of parts to check against. I tried to call Customer Service, but there were actually 110 people ahead of me, so I headed to KZbin. Fortunately this video answers the main questions I encountered. I think the drop down nozzle version may actually be a bit simpler than this one, since the Trinsic version has no cable controlled pop-up, just one you push to operate. I suggest having a helper on hand for valves and handle placement, which will help avoid as many trips under the sink. I didn't for most of the job and I'm 75, so I'm sure I'll be sore in lots of unfamiliar places tomorrow!

Such a great video. I attempted to do with full confidence with this step by step video except I could not get the old faucet out of the sink! The lines were cranked too tight for me🙂

I just installed the Chamberlain widespread bathroom faucet. Following the instructions, they state to install the hot water on the left side (I went by the red color on the bottom of the valve). The instructions also stated to install the longer tube away from the spout so I did this and realized the handle directions were reversed to I thought I could switch the direction of the handles based on the instructions but you cannot. After watching this video I saw that the supply line is supposed to be away from the spout. With the Chamberlain, the supply line is the shorter tube and should be installed away from the spout. Needless to say, this cost my a half day extra to install these faucets. The instructions are not clear and may be incorrect. I wish I watched the video first. Great video. Thanks.

Thanks mike

Some invisible person installed p trap between 18:20 and 20:20.

[@ChristopherHanff]

What if the handle turns the wrong direction? The cold handle is on the right side and yet it turns the wrong direction. How to reverse the turn direction? And how do you remove the set screw caps?

[@luna_refab]

this video didn't show how to connect to the p-trap. Skipped over that very important step. Is there a video that includes this step?

[@oldirtybasser261]

The paper instructions that came with my faucet are not even close

[@michaelmcfarland7429]

That’s an understatement. No parts list. Nothing showing what the actual parts included are. Zero instruction on “don’t do this” or “be sure to do that.” I have two more of the exact same faucets to install next week. I’m going to use the instructions as a floor mat. At least it’ll serve some sort of purpose. 😁

[@amirharris473]

Why didn't you install the faucet and handles before you placed the top on the vanity?

[@chrishopstock4341]

My supply lines came preinstalled with the nut and a grey ferrule. Do I put the white ferrules on also?

[@jessev5542]

My handles don’t have screws. How to I take it off. Just pull straight up??

[@jnatdea15]

Whats that plastic bushing called? To center the handle in the vanity hole

[@AdiAbhisPapa]

Interesting to see that the installer in this video didn't use plumber's putty but silicone when installing the drain fitting.

[@Lore-M-Ipsum-yew]

I was doing a dry run and putting everything together to get familiar with the parts and now I can't remove the supply lines from the spout connector adapter. How is this done? Thanks!

[@Lore-M-Ipsum-yew]

I found the answer on the delta website. "All"you have to do is press down on the white ring (collet) and pull the supply line out. What they **don't** say is that you need two needle nose pliers, a construction worker's hand strength, and holding the unit with your knees while you slowly manage to pull it out. Good luck!!!!

[@shenalally2214]

How to DISCONNECT that spout connector?

[@Lore-M-Ipsum-yew]

Did you ever get an answer on this question? I was doing a dry run and putting everything together and now can't remove the supply lines from the spout connector adapter.

[@afergusonkc]

The screw that comes in the spout used for mounting, is that preloaded when purchasing? Or did you place that prior to making video? Mine has come loose and when I load the nut during mounting it comes loose? Any tips to fix that issue?

[@tommysmith2409]

You've done the installation, and then you don't turn it on and show water coming out. WHY? It would be good to see how much water pressure there is. The Delta faucet we purchased is wimpy when it comes to water pressure.

[@deltafaucet]

Hi Tommy, Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing with the water pressure. We are happy to help! To troubleshoot if there is an issue with the faucet, I recommend removing the aerator from the end of the spout and running full water for a minute. This helps to flush out any debris and to check the flow rate. Please reach out directly for further assistance or with any additional questions! -Bryan

[@tommysmith2409]

@@deltafaucet It's not the aerator. That is the standard recommendation for low flow. The faucet must have a water flow restrictor and a temperature restrictor. The faucet is crappy. Maybe all makes (Delta, Moen, Kohler, Pfister, American Standard, etc) are crappy now because of government restrictions.

[@deltafaucet]

Hi Tommy, I apologize for any issue with the water flow. We are happy to help! Some faucet models do have a flow restrictor locted in a hose connection or in the valve under the cartridge that may need to be cleaned if the flow is reduced. Please reach out directly for assistance or with any questions!

[@tommysmith2409]

@@deltafaucet Nothing needs to be cleaned. It was installed properly. How about showing us how to remove the flow restrictor and the temperature restrictor. Otherwise, the faucet is just crappy.

[@deltafaucet]

The location of a flow restrictor may depend of the faucet model. Removal may violate local codes or void the warranty. Our sink faucets do not have a temperature restrictor. Please reach out directly for assistance with any flow or temperature issue! We will need more information to assist you.

All the pipes are plastic. Unlike the old faucets with metal lines

[@l3anksy]

Not a great install video. These super wide shots serve no purpose. We don’t need to see the installers face. We need tight close ups of the actual parts and steps to see exactly how the parts fit together.

[@Sports-e1u]

Hire a professional if you need to see how a nut screws on

[@udaynj]

Bought a Delta Portwood faucet from Home Depot and the instructions are absolutely terrible

[@dennisprevost8796]

Omg yes. It’s like unpack box, something, something in two sentences, enjoy.

[@AA-kf7uf]

So condescending=I am not 5 yrs old. Had to watch this as impossible to figure it out with written instructions.
