As a single gal homeowner, when things like this happen I think, “Oh gosh how much is a plumber going to charge for this?” Thank you so much! I did it myself! It worked! Thank God for RUclips!
You just made my day hearing that! So glad to hear. ✊🏻
I will 2nd that! :) Thats exactly why I came here too! :)
I will third this! A plumber would probably have told me I needed a whole new faucet!
This is why I’m here
Same!!! Single and living the dream! 💜Thankful for your RUclips videos!!! 😊
It helped me! I swear, you can fix 90% of things in 5 minutes with youtube and people like this guy, nowadays.
Glad to hear it ✊🏻
No doubt! I have saved HUNDREDS fixing my dishwasher/washing machine/Chevy Tahoe by watching RUclips videos.
@@pathslesstrampled9906 Me as well Paths less trampled. Too funny your name. Thanks for my morning laugh,! 😁
The good side of social media. Good people helping good people.
My kitchen faucet is leaking exactly like yours, and you gave me the confidence to tackle it. Thank you for a great short vid👍
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much! My husband passed away about two months ago and this was my first major project to have to do on my own. Your video was perfect. Thanks again.
Glad to hear it was helpful for you… so much of this stuff is really pretty easy if you just ease into it. Sorry to hear about your husband.
So sorry for your loss. I recently lost my husband as well and this is my 1st project. I feel better about doing it after reading your comment. I was just reaching for the phone when I saw it so I decided to try it and ta da...success! I gotta say I was nervous! Thank you for commenting,it's the only reason I did it😉
@@HON-E-BEEwell nice pic , n if you wanna chat hit me up
WOW! Sooo glad I clicked on this link!!! This definitely looks like an EASY fix. THANX for sharing your video! I will be repairing mine myself tomorrow! Im sure you just saved me a lot of money too :)
Thank you, that was very helpful. I appreciate how you explained what you were doing as you went along!
Nice video. Great point about having an o-ring supply and grease at the ready.
Joe, thank you. The sink configuration and fix is exactly what I needed help with, and I even had one of those O ring kits sitting around!
That’s awesome, glad to hear it was helpful! 👍🏻
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! You saved me from calling a plumber and possibly getting nickled and dimed for a simple job! You are awesome!!!!!!
So glad you found it helpful. 👍🏻
Thanks for the info Joe! liked and subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video. Verified what I figured was what I needed to do so I get at it before the leak gets worse.
For anyone who might need tonreplace the hot and cold cartridges, the part # OEM Delta part # is RP47422. The Delta faucet model # 413763 (Lazer ingraved on back of stem piece). When I called Delta directly they sent the wrong parts. My parts came from Amazon after an exhausting search. **Thank you for an amazing video. You saved people tons of money by being the awesome your are.
I only flipped the o ring and it worked. Thank you for the instructions!!!
You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻
Thanks for this. I'm a builder in Ireland but my daughter has a similar leak in Vancouver so I am happy to send her this link. Her tap is different but the principle is the same. Thanks again.
You bet, thanks for commenting and for passing along. Hopefully this will help her. 👍🏻
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed and it's easy enough for me to do myself!! Money saved :)
Glad to hear... you’ve got this! ✊🏻
WOW!!! Thanks for this. Can't believe how long it took me to find a video that ACTUALLY showed me how to fix the problem, not just replace the whole thing! Super easy to do and excellent video, thanks a bunch. Nice tat sleeve btw!
Thanks tatt. And glad to hear it was of help to you! 👍🏻

Awesome, glad to hear it helped you. And thanks for subscribing!
Thank you!!!! I came home to my water faucet shooting water all over my sink and backsplash when I turned on the faucet. Watched the video twice. Went to Lowes and bought O rings, wrench and plumbing tape. And I fixed it! I really could t afford a plumber visit so I really appreciate this.
Hey that’s great! Glad to hear it helped you. 👏🏻👍🏻

Sorry to hear about your husband. And yes, subscribe to my channel, there are lots of vids.
Thanks, Joe! Our Delta faucet manual parts breakout diagram showed two O-rings at the bottom of the spout, but when we took ours off, we only found one in the depression at the bottom and one in a depression up near the top of the neck. We tried it the way the manual showed. The upper O-ring didn't fit very well next to the lower O-ring, and sure enough it tore apart when we tried to put the spout back on. We tried it the way we found it with the second O-ring placed up in the high depression, and that did the trick. We did have to work a bit harder to get the spout off and get then get the spout back down than yours, but that may have been due to the two O-rings. Thanks again!
You bet, glad it worked out! And yes, sometimes they can be a BEAR to get off.
Have exact same facet with same like problem. Thanks for showing how to unscrew part using facecloth and channel locks.
Clear and concise, thank you so much. Off to get my o ring kit of washers ❤
You bet, and you’ve got this! ✊🏻
Thanks! (I’m 18 travelling to Uni but live at home currently) My mum has been doing a lot round the house recently and getting a lot of stuff fixed so I was hoping to help out in some way by getting a plumber in to fix this issue, but will definitely try this!
Proud of you!! You’d be surprised how much you can learn to do on your own just from watching little videos like this.
Thank you sir you have been extremely helpful to me!!!!! 😃
You bet. 👍🏻
Thank you great video just needed to confirm my instinct on the grease part of fixing my kitchen faucet
Awesome, glad it helped. 👏🏻
Thanks for the great video. Delta folks didn't quite understand my questioning as to what the part was called or even if it was a delta faucet. Pictures were sent and they indicated that it didn't look lke their faucet. After several emails back and forth, they decided to send me a single "O" ring that they hoped would help. They also sent me a link to a you tube video that showed how to replace the O ring but, that was for a different faucet. They were gracious enough to send me the O ring at no cost which was nice of them. As a side note the O ring on their site was listed at .........$ 6.45 + shopping.
Kind of them to send you that O-ring, at $6 they’re pretty proud of that thing lol. I’ve got a kit with tons of them that I bought years ago, and I don’t think it cost much more than that. And I know they’re probably doing the best they can on the phone. Hopefully between them and the video you’ll be able to get it taken care of. 👍🏻
This is a lifesaver! Thank you so much!!!
You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻
Thank you for your excellent, yet clear and simple instructions. This should be a snap to fix, but at first it looks like a complete mystery. BTW Your faucet is exactly the same as mine.
You bet, nothing to it really. You’ve got this. 👍🏻
Thanks dude this is a great video
Very helpful video. Thank you
this solved my leak underneath my sink as well! You saved me from spending $100s on a plumber. It was a simple O ring
Awesome, glad to hear it! 👍🏻
@@papajoeknows8355 you earned a sub from me 🤝
Papa Joe Knows would be great T-shirt product line for the channel.
Something to think about 🤔
I will try this, thank you for sharing
You bet. 👍🏻
It’s a miracle! Thank you!
You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻
Thank you for the great video. Couldn't believe when I clicked on it and saw that I have the exact same faucet.
When I started to un-screw that base piece, I noticed that it was loose. I could turn it by hand. So, I just tightened it back down by hand and my leak stopped. I now know though what to do, thanks to you, if it starts leaking again.
Awesome, glad to hear it helped you. 👍🏻
Thankyou loud and clear fixed😊
Awesome 👏🏻
VERY GOOD VIDEO,,,,,,,,THANKS
Glad it was helpful! 👍🏻
Thank you very much I appreciate all the help you given
You bet! 👍🏻
Thanks man. Saved my wife and I a headache.

Thank you that fixed my problem.
Awesome, glad to hear it! 👍🏻
Thank you!
You bet 👍🏻
I have same dame one an i was about to buy a new one ,thanks
Thank you so much for your video. I live in an apartment building where our super refuses to do any repairs. My tape is old and its starting to leak pretty badly. I know how to change the washers but wasn't sure about that particle stop. Thank you again.
You bet, glad it helped. 👏🏻
Hi thank you for this video it helped me fix a faucet instead of having to get a new one.
Awesome, glad it helped!
Thanks, you saved me a lot of money! (Simple) makes sense to me!
You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻
Great explanation!
Glad it helped. 👍🏻
Terrific! Thank you!
You bet.
My Moen utility sink in the laundry room was doing this. Except when you swivel the faucet to the right the collar was already loose. The extra play in faucet pretty much helped to wear out the o-ring. Its good as new now.
Thanks so much!
This is so helpful, thank you for posting, will see if this works, ‘live in an old apartment and the sink is so annoying.
Glad to hear it. 👍🏻
@@papajoeknows8355 This worked, I am so happy! Thank you so much for posting! 🤩
Wow thank you, you just saved me a plumber's appointment!!!
Awesome, glad it helped you! 👏🏻
Thanks, this worked!
Glad to hear it. 👍🏻
Thank you!😊
You bet. 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing your experience. Could you use lithium grease if you don't have plumber's grease?
You could, but it’s not ideal… lithium grease is a petroleum product and will degrade the rubber sooner.
Very good video! Do you have any suggestion for how to remove the spout which appeared to be stuck to the base?
Yes, sometimes they can be pretty stubborn. You just have to be patient, and slowly muscle them free.
My kitchen faucet works now. No Maintence Department call needed. $2.97 for #13 O-Rings (12-pack). $1.97 for Plumber’s Grease. 6-7 minutes.
Thank you much !!
You bet, glad it was helpful for you! 👍🏻
@@papajoeknows8355 would it be as effective without the plumbers grease? Would thread seal tape work as well??
@@radrianmgargurevich7826 no, for this you want plumber’s grease
@@papajoeknows8355 thank you and happy holidays!
@@radrianmgargurevich7826 Happy Holidays to you as well!
Same exact faucet thank you
You bet. 👍🏻
Thank you, sir.
You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻
Thank you
You bet. 👍🏻
Thank you so very much for posting this. I appreciate your time and effort. What are the other parts to replace if tou want to do a complete rebuild ? Thanks.
Glad to hear it was helpful. Eventually the spout will start dripping, and that means it’s time to replace the valve cartridge (there’s one underneath each handle). Also very easy to do. 👍🏻
@@papajoeknows8355 where can I find this info ? Do you have a model # for this faucet? It leaks also at the base of the high arc. I connect a portable washer to this faucet. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am a single lady and a plumber came out here and gave me a quote for $$$$$$.
@@dla872 It’s a Delta faucet, I don’t know the model, but that doesn’t matter… you always want to take the cartridge up to your home improvement store to match it up. FYI, the leak is USUALLY the one on the left side, because that’s the hot side, which gets used most often. Here’s a link to a video on a Delta cartridge replacement (it’s a bathroom sink, but the change out is still the same. Again, very very simple to do.

Thank you this was so helpful!
You’re welcome, glad to hear it! 👍🏻
Thank You Soo Much.
You bet! 👍🏻
@Papa Joe Knows, thanks for the video / I have replaced the O ring as instructed but I still have a leak 😢/ any suggestions on what could possibly be wrong? My leak appears to come from the same location and I have successfully lubed and reinstalled the fitting.
I would replace one more time… replace the o-ring again. Be sure to use plumber’s grease and not Vaseline or something like that. Also when you push the spout back down in place, be very careful that it is perfectly vertical… if it’s a little off, it can wind up pinching the o-ring just enough to cause it to still leak. Beyond that, it may simply be time to replace the faucet itself. Keep me posted.
Thank you so much
You bet. 👍🏻
Thank you! I am going to fix my mother-in-law's sink. We have a small-town hardware store here, & I'm certain the owner can advise me as to which o-rings I need.
Absolutely, just bring the o-ring in, and they can easily match it up. Be sure to grab some plumber’s grease as well. You’ve got this. 👌🏻
Thanks
You bet. 👍🏻
Excellent video. It is really scary to find out something like this goes wrong around home. Too expensive to call the specialist.
You’d be surprised how much you can easily do on your own. 👍🏻
Thanks🔥🔥🔥
tks
You bet 👍🏻
I love this but wonder why do I need a new ring when I could put the grease on the old one or what’s the difference? Thanks in advance brother
Tempting as it is to re grease it and put it back (and it may work for a while), it’s always best to replace it… they can be worn, almost imperceptibly, or have the tiniest nick that causes them to leak. And the truth is, everyone needs an assorted little box of O-rings in the garage that you know you have but can’t find.
Check this first: In my case, I thought it was the base that was leaking, but luckily looked closely with a flashlight and turns out the irrigator (spout) was clogged up causing a leak down the stem to the base. Just had to unscrew irrigator and clean. No more leak.
Thank you sir.
You bet. 👍🏻
