What should I do if my single-handle kitchen or lavatory faucet drips from the spout?
Your Delta
®
faucet is designed for leak-free performance, and all of our faucets
are performance-tested before they leave our manufacturing facilities. If you
experience a drip from the spout, follow the Early Maintenance instructions
on page 3 of this guide. If you continue to experience the problem, follow
these steps:
For Single-Handle Faucets, First:
Remove the handle to determine what type of valve is inside.
Look for an orange handle limit stop or a square stem in a yellow-green color.
If you have either of these, you have a DIAMOND
Valve. If you don’t have an
orange handle limit stop or a yellow-green, square stem, you most likely have
a ball valve.
For DIAMOND Valve Models:
Turn water off at the stops.
Unthread cap.
Use a wrench to tighten the bonnet nut. Be careful not to overtighten.
Replace the handle.
