Delta Single Lever Kitchen Faucet w/sprayer Repair/Maintenance
Tricks, Ratschläge, Online, Reparieren, Landwirtschaft, Landwirtschaft Maschine
I discovered a slow leak on my kitchen faucet and was determined to fix it, spending as little money as I could. I bought both faucet and diverter valve replacement kits "just in case" I needed them. Instead of opening both kits, I decided to try to clean the hard water deposits off my old faucet components first (using Lime A Way and a mild detergent). Turns out, that's all that was needed to stop my leak. TOOLS REQUIRED: Channel Locks or similar style wrench, 1/8" Allen wrench, small flat blade screw driver or similar style tool, flash light. PARTS LIST: Danco REPAIR KIT for Delta with #70 Stainless Steel Ball #86970 - Approx. cost $14.00 Danco SPRAY DIVERTER valve for Delta, Peerless, Aquasource, & Glacier Bay #80093E - Approx. cost $3.00 Tube of Plumbers Faucet and Valve grease - Approx. cost $3.00

I have the same Delta Model 400 Kitchen Faucet.
Got tired of "paper towel tourniquets" to absorb drips from the handle as well as the spout interfaces.
Finally saw your video, your patient "high school shop teacher" demeanor inspired my repair adventure.
After assembling the needed parts and tools, I watched your video 3-4 times until the procedure was drilled thoroughly into my mind.
I paid special attention to applying extra plumber's waterproof grease to all the moving parts & contact surfaces, at your suggestion.
Also paying attention not to over-tighten at re-assembly.
My faucet had 5 years of service before the leaks appeared.
The "professional" plumber that installed the faucet missed all the fine points of lubrication and not to over-tighten: I watched the installation.......................his lack of attention/concern on these points lead to premature failure.
It took me around 1/2 hour to do this rebuild. It works better than new!
The only glitch I had was the gate valves installed under the sink as cut-off valves did not fully shut off the water flow, I managed to do the job under light seepage.
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge! -
good job. informative. i am going to try to clean my leaky faucet parts now prior to buying the repair kit.

Like someone said below, you're a good teacher! IF I could figure out why the water won't turn off under the sink, I'd try to fix mine! I'm resistant to calling a plumber as BOTH the highly rated companies in this town have come out to fix stuff and I'm more broke, but no one fixed anything!

just started watching a few of these faucet repair vids. here's why yours is better. you tell the newbie repair folks to block their drains so don't lose any parts. most forget this step. and you tell the size of the allen wrench. good job.

Used your video to a tee to replace all internal parts and it worked like a charm. Many thanks!

Delta is guaranteed for life. If you call the company, they will send you the parts for free.

I'm stuck on the step about pulling off the spout. Mine won't budge. Any tips?
