How Do You Repair A Delta Brand Kitchen Faucet?
• Purchase a replacement parts kit from a reputable hardware store, such as Home Depot. The kit Home Depot sells is comprehensive in that it includes all of the washers and gaskets, springs, a new ball, and the plastic inset piece for the top of the assembly. • Carefully close the shut-off valves beneath the sink. I say carefully because these are some of the least used valves in your home and they could be corroded making them difficult to turn. NEVER use excessive force, the valves are likely made of brass and brass is softer than steel. Turn on the faucet and make sure the water is turned off. • Using the allen wrench supplied in the kit, loosen the set screw that holds the handle in place. Lift the handle off of the faucet assemble and set aside. • The plastic ring inset in the chrome-dome is adjustable and can be used to increase or decrease the pressure on the internal components. This threaded ring has four slots cut in it. Push in a notch with a screwdriver to relieve the force
