    I may have previously commented on this video; it doesn't matter.
    Thank you for not only showing how to fix this specific faucet, but more importantly the process of _how_ to go through this type of repair in general. The details you show, keeping track of the parts during disassembly, the caution to not lose parts or damage things help to make it easier to reassemble it and know where the new parts go and fit together. You're not just demonstrating doing it, you're explaining the how and why behind it. Add in the recommendations for tools and using them properly, and the lesson is complete!
    Well done!

    @FamilyReunion97 Год назад +4

    This saved me! There are hundreds of leaky faucet videos out there, but yours is the only one that brought up that the handle can get stuck from excess build up. I thought mine was broken because the set screw cranked violently and came all the way out. Nope, it was just SUPER stuck. Some light and persistent taps and it finally came undone! I was a hair away from calling a plumber because I thought I had busted the whole thing. Thanks for the video, man! You probably saved me a few hundred bucks!

You don't assume someone must already know some of it. You aren't cocky, but I suspect you are above average intelligence, because you explain everything thoroughly and are used to people not knowing everything you know. Thank you again. Mickey

      If you have a Big Box home store near you, it's probably better to buy the repair kit there. It could takes weeks to get the free parts from Delta while you deal with the leaky faucet every day until then. The repair kits are only a few dollars.

  • @ramancentertmj

    I am very much a novice at plumbing repair. But your step by step, detailed instructions made it a cinch to fix the faucet that was spraying all over the place around the handle. I do not have time to call a plumber or call Delta and wait for the parts since we have company coming to stay in the guest room for Thanksgiving. I can't believe that I fixed it myself by replacing the parts I bought from the hardware store. Thank you so much.

  • @davidyoung1610

    Thank you soooo much! I was able to fix my mom’s old Delta 150 series kitchen faucet. Thanks to your advice, I was able to get all the parts from Delta free (except the steel ball assembly, which they either forgot or it’s not a covered part). Anyway, after I purchased the ball assembly separately, I cleaned the faucet and replaced the parts exactly as in your video. Everything is perfect now. I appreciate your no-nonsense video, with its clear concise instructions. No endless self-aggrandizing intro headers with annoying music….perfect!

    Thank you so much - once I patiently applied WD40 and a compressed air shot to the allen screw( a few applications over over a few days), everything was a cinch thanks to your instructions. One thing, as you and others have noted be sure and use original Delta Parts. A top local store's brand of repair parts just did not fit right and were a waste of time. The Delta Parts were a smooth operation and the faucet is just as new.

    @Keys4U2 Год назад

    Thanks ! i just changed my delta washers on my kitchen faucet using your video which was the best among the ones I've seen on RUclips. The hardest parts was removing the chrome cap after the handle was off because my model did not have slots for a wrench so i had to use a vice grip but it wouldn't budge at first but then someone explained to me i probably overtightened the wise grip and sure enough i just remove the cap with my fingers 🙂The other part more difficult was when everything was in place before putting the chrome cap back on. I had to use a screw driver to push everything in place that also left the part in its groove. It took 2 tries but I got it ! Turn the water back on and all is great and no more dripping !!! It was driving me nuts LOL

    Thank you Bill! I'm about to replace a 40 year old Moen kitchen faucet with a brand new Delta Classic. (Or rather, a plumber is about to replace the faucet, since there are no hot/cold water shut off valves, which need to be installed, and that's way beyond my ability to deal with.) But looking ahead I wanted to be able to know how to fix any leaks that will inevitably occur down the road. I saw replacement kits on Amazon but after watching this video I'll just contact Delta since the faucet comes with a lifetime warranty. But people said there are no instructions that come with these kits, so I searched on RUclips (what would we do without RUclips instructional videos?) and found this one. It's perfect. Much appreciated. Be well.

    This was perfect. Thanks! Note: the RP36147 kit comes with a slightly different cam assembly (two parts with white plastic top), but it works just like the one used in this video.

    Hi you are the best! Had a delta faucet leaking around the base when turned on and the spout and base parts were easy to take off, exposing the o rings. Your intro prompted me to call delta who was VERY nice and helpful. They will send me an oring kit for free this time (prob b/c Im not the original owner) and I was able to stop the leak with some teflon tape for now. Liked and subbed!

    YaY-Hey!! You Have Really Helped Me Out!! Had a 'handyman' help with this and he did such a lousy job!! Didn't grease almost anything, left the white plastic ring at the bottom of neck of the faucet!! I did it All over again. Only had trouble with the grey cam, not staying down, it kept wanting to spring on up. I held it down and put the chrome cap on tightened it carefully! But not too tight. Faucet swings back and forth a Lot better than when the guy 'fixed' it! Guess if you want something done, do it yourself or look for Sparky to help me out! Thank You Ever So Much! Take care, and keep up the fantastic work!!😁🤩😁

    thank you so much for mentioning the plastic washer which fits it in bottom of the handle part--could not get it working without this important step--now no leaks; your step by step was really good

    Thank you for a wonderfully detailed yet not too wordy explanation how to replace this single type of faucet. I rent but the current repair person is sadly inept and makes a huge mess for simple repairs. I was shocked at the results of the 6 inches caulking job under the tub faucet he did in my shower/bathtub that still had gaps, zero confidence. I fixed my leaky kitchen faucet without any surprises or lengthily clean up after.

Appreciate that you give as easy to understand instructions as he does. Feel more confident now to attempt this fix.

    Thank you for your guidance. I just a couple snafus. One was that the hot water shutoff leaked, so I had to turn off the main water valve and the water heater intake to get the hot water to stop. The tip to get the corroded handle off with wd40 was great.

    Without question, the BEST video re how to fix a Delta single lever faucet! Your step-by-step instructions are not only clear and easy to understand, but you take into account things that an experienced plumber might not think to bring to a novice "plumber's" attention. Your thoughtful attention to detail, together with your confident and encouraging manner enabled me to successfully repair my kitchen tap. I feel such a sense of accomplishment! I could never have done it without your expertise. Many, many thanks!

    Bill, love the video. Complete, concise and very easy to follow. Thank you! The only thing I would mention is "if" you still see a slow drip after replacing all faucet parts (Delta of course ;-)) check your aerator. It can hold hard water sediment; the washers may need to be replaced etc. This was my case.

    Very good explanation on how to repair a leaky faucet. One thing I would caution viewers on is to be careful not to score the ball seat with the screwdriver. I would use something like my Dremel tool with a brass wire brush attachment for that part of the job. I also thought it might be a good idea to put a little plumbers grease on the outside of the two rubber inserts before reinstalling them in the housing.
