- How To Replace A Delta Kitchen Faucet Diverter
If there's still water coming out of the faucet spout when you press the trigger on the sink sprayer then this video will show you the part you need to replace. Your faucet may be different but it will have a similar part that operates the same way.

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!
Glad the video helped you out! Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Yep, that’s exactly how every cabinet below every kitchen sink always looks at my properties, too. LOL!
🤣 Yep! Pack as much stuff as you can in there. Nobody will ever need in there lol. Thanks for watching Duane 🛠️👍
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👍
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.
Glad the video helped out. Thanks for watching Craig & subscribe to the channel 👍

Great job

Nice job
Appreciate that IDK! Thanks for watching bro 👍
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 👍
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!
It doesn't have anything to do with your dishwasher. Good luck on your repair. Thanks for watching & subscribing 🛠️👍
Wow! I just saved $150 bucks 😅
Nice! Glad the video helped out. Thanks for watching Rubensandwich2 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
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.
Yeah you have to be careful. I've sliced my fingers plenty of times over the years. Thanks for watching Mitch & subscribe to the channel 👍
Thank you I have the same issue. Also my faucet leaks between the sink and the base of the faucet? Any suggestions?
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 👍
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?
Glad the video helped out. Sounds like you need a new seal. Thanks for watching Nunabizness7726 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@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.
@@nunabizness7726 The ball lasts forever for the most part but definitely change the seal.
What model delta faucet is that ours looks exactly the same but can't find a model # anywhere
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. Thanks for watching Themgkfan264 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
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 👍
Can I find the diverter at Home Depot or do I need to get it from a plumbing place?
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 👍
I have the classic also but my prayer keeps shooting out from the bottom and I can figure out why
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 👍
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.
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.

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. Thanks for watching ddgardner5671 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Which way does the ball go on?
Sorry for the delay on my response. The ball installs with the slot on the right side. Thanks for watching cpusmith & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
what if i don’t replace the seats and springs?
You don't have to, I just did since I had it apart & had the parts in stock. Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
I can't get the spigot off my faucet so I can remove the old diverter. My landlord won't fix my faucet and I want to do it.
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 👍
Bro i thought this was normal even though ive seen sinks not do this. My sink like full runs and then barely sprays out of the hose
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 🛠️👍
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 😂
Lol yes
Definitely lol, it's the cabinet we need to access & most packed with items. Thanks for watching MM 👍
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. :(
Thanks for watching jims1942 🛠️👍
