Thanks so very much for making this video! Thanks to you, I was able to order my replacement part, and repair my annoying faucet myself! The steps were clear, so it was just a matter of following along! You're my new hero!

You're welcome!

We were ready to buy a new delta faucet- current one is only 3 yrs old. You nailed it with great info on the replacement part and making this repair a simple fix for a couple on non-DIY seniors. THANK YOU!!

That’s great news! I’m glad you found it helpful.

Thank you so much for the helpful walkthrough! Without your video, I wouldn't have known what was causing my faucet to drip or how to fix it! I received the free replacement part from Delta today, installed it, and the leak is fixed!

Thanks for your video. I forgot that there was a lifetime warranty on this model faucet. Called Delta today and they are sending me a replacement cartridge FREE.

Thanks for the video. I have the identical drip and sweet spot issue with the identical Delta faucet that you featured. It must be a very common failure point. I called Delta this morning and they are mailing me the replacement parts so I have them within a week. 👍👍

Thanks so much for this video. I had the same problem as you and had resigned myself to purchasing a new faucet until I saw this video. It took numerous email attempts to get a first response from Delta then numerous attempts after that before they acknowledged that I was being sent a replacement. I think that it took me longer to find the tools than it did to do the replacement install but it works great now. Thanks again!

This is all well and good. The only problem is the set screw corrodes and seal into the handle and you can’t get the handle off. So now I’m stuck buying a whole new faucet just because the handle won’t come off. I tried everything including scraping the outer edges of the hole around the screw and soaking in blaster for hours. . It’s essentially soldered in place.I can try drilling the set screw out. But if I want to do this, I have to hope it doesn’t wreck the threads. Great fun. I’m positive this has happened to a lot of people and wish they would address this problem in the videos.

Update: Ended up drilling the screw out and now there are no threads for a set screw. Consider yourself warned. If the faucet is a few years old it might be corroded around the set screw and you might not be able to remove it without drilling.

I think there is a lifetime warranty on these faucets so definitely contact the company.

Thanks! What I'd like to know is how to replace the screen filter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Just used this vid to replace the cartridge in my Delta faucet, which was about 7 years old. Different model, but configured exactly the same with handle on the side. Worked perfectly!

There's a gray plastic cylinder tool that has teeth on top that fits into the screen where the water comes out. Use that like a screwdriver to remove that screen filter.

Hello, thanks for the video Im going to try this when the delta part arrives. I have a question thought I had a plumber tell me water sits in the line and thats why my brand new faucet is dripping. Is this true?

Water is always in the line but that’s not why it’s dripping.

I did this and it’s still dripping…any other points of failure to consider? Is it possible the cartridge isn’t seated properly?

It’s possible.

In the description it says here is the website (for Delta) but it doesn't tell the website, just the phone number. ????

Can someone share the Delta contact info?
