Thanks for the video, I'd forgotten where the diverter is on these. Nowadays it seems everyone has a pull down system... To help out the next guy (ask not who the next guy is, he may be you) I always use key grease on all the threads and o-rings while I have it open.
Awesome! That’s exactly how my sink and sprayer look! Not only does water come out of the faucet when using the sprayer, but it’s almost full force. No wonder my sprayer is weak. I might just fix this myself! Is that the worst kind of tenant or the best kind? A new diverter won’t effect the dishwasher will it? Maybe they made it operate like this on purpose for a dishwasher issue.. Great tutorial, I’ll subscribe for sure!
I wish the diverter on ours faced forward like that. We have Cornerstone faucets by Cleveland Faucet Group and they all face backwards towards the backsplash on the counter. I normally have to use the tip sticking out on a 5-in-1 tool to pop them free. I also occasionally use my iPhone camera in selfie mode like a mirror, sitting behind the faucet, to see what I’m doing as I work.
I had the CFG faucets at my old property. They were made by moen. My rep brought me a faucet repair kit which was a little black tool box that had every part for their faucets with faucet tools & silicone grease. I believe the repair kit has a part # on the box cuz it was something they would sell. I still have the kit in my garage. Thanks for watching Duane 👍
Excellent video. I was able to follow everything and replace the diver in about 20 minutes. However, when I turned the water back on, a little water leaked under the cap. I've tightened it a little, and the leak is smaller, but I'm reluctant to tighten it too much. Any suggestions?
@@ApartmentMaintenanceThank you for responding so quickly! Should I just replace the seal AND the ball? I think I saw them both in a little "kit", when I bought the diverter.
It also needs a seal kit. While it's apart to replace the diverter it's a perfect time to replace the o-rings & seals which will prevent it from leaking at the base & dripping while it's off. So it will be completely rebuilt for a couple bucks. Thanks for watching Sidney & subscribe to the channel 👍
Just stumbled on your channel and binge watched a few. Nice stuff. Very few things make we wince, but at 1:15? I've sliced my thumbnail down past the white part (Lunula) almost to the first knuckle using a box cutter, enough for 12 stitches.
Get the rebuild kit for the faucet. It will come with new seats & springs, 2 sets of o-rings, an allen key to remove the set screw on the handle & a square looking tool to tighten or loosen the plastic ring on the brass cap. Here's the link to the repair kit on Amazon. If you purchase the kit through the link it will help support the channel since we are an affiliate of Amazon. Faucet Repair Kit Link amzn.to/47juPpz
I'm not sure what the model number is, but try searching "delta single handle faucet" & scroll through the options until you find the one that looks like yours cuz the single handle faucet parts are all the same whether it's a repair kit with new seats, springs, o-rings, ball, or the diverter, they all use the same parts.

You should be able to get it from home depot or lowes as long as it's in stock. I can send u a link to one from Amazon if u want. Thanks for watching Shieron2468 & subscribe to the channel 👍

The sprayer on my faucet is stuck on. I removed the sprayer from the hose, turned the water on, and water came out of the hose instead of the faucet spout. Does that mean the diverter is defective?
Yep, it means it's stuck in the position that it would be in as if you are using the sprayer. The possibility of some debris just being stuck in the diverter is highly likely since they don't normally get stuck in that position.

Not sure what you said there Ben. I think your saying your sprayer keeps leaking from the bottom but can you clarify your question. Thanks for watching & subscribe to the channel 👍
Nope definitely not normal. When you are using the sprayer there shouldn't be anything coming out of the faucet. We learn something new everyday! Thanks for watching man & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@komoru Great tip! I know it's not the safest way, but it's how I've always done it. Thanks for watching Komoru & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
You gotta wiggle it left and right while you are pulling up & it should work its way off the faucet. Good luck! Thanks for watching Susan & subscribe to the channel 👍
Good job fixing the sprayer Most people don’t use the sprayer but maybe once a year they just feel that they obligated to notify the office that faucet is not working correctly
@@hvactechwanttobe1499 Appreciate that HVAC Tech. Yeah they feel they need to get their money's worth. When they drop off their rent is when they really like to submit the work orders. Thanks for watching man 🛠️👍
Typical apartment maintenance... don't wipe any of the parts off to clean them up... just slap it all back together with no silicone grease/lube on the o-rings or ball and seats, etc. No wonder apartments are like they are. :(
Thank you so much for this video! I fixed my sink by just cleaning the diverter vs having to buy a new set. Your process was literally on point!

Because of this design and simplicity for repairs Delta faucets are the only thing I order. Nice work!!!
If I’m the chooser… same here. Parts are usually easier to get ahold of too 👍
Agreed! Can't go wrong with a delta. Thanks for watching 6.2👍
Yep, that’s exactly how every cabinet below every kitchen sink always looks at my properties, too. LOL!

@@nunabizness7726 The ball lasts forever for the most part but definitely change the seal.
Thank you I have the same issue. Also my faucet leaks between the sink and the base of the faucet? Any suggestions?

How do I know which diverter I need? Will the part number be printed on the old one?
Whatever brand of faucet you have just search for "diverter for blank brand" kitchen faucet. Thanks for watching & subscribe to the channel 👍
Do you know what size o-rings are used for this faucet?
Get the rebuild kit for the faucet. It will come with new seats & springs, 2 sets of o-rings, an allen key to remove the set screw on the handle & a square looking tool to tighten or loosen the plastic ring on the brass cap.

I don’t care what kitchen you go in… they can have 100 cabinets with 50 of them empty… and under the kitchen sink will be MAXXED OUT 😂
