Why is My Delta Bathroom Faucet Dripping?
Delta faucets are without a doubt some of the best in the market, but that does not mean they will not leak from time to time. Continued use of the faucets causes wear and tear resulting in leaks.
1. Turn off Water to the Faucet
Duck underneath your bathroom sink and you will see 2 oval-shaped knobs. Those are your sink faucet’s shut off valves for both cold and hot water. Turn them clockwise to turn off water to the faucet.
2. Remove the Faucet Handle
Depending on the type of faucet you have, you will either have a knob-handle or lever-handle. Both of these handles are joined to the faucet stem using a screw.
3. Remove the Cam, Ball Assembly, Seat and Springs
Remove the adjusting ring. This is a thin ring which holds all the faucets parts in place. Unscrew it using needle-nose pliers.
4. Replace the Seats and Springs
In most of the repairs I have performed, the springs and seats are usually the culprits in a leaking Delta bathroom faucet. You can however decide to replace the cam, packing and ball assembly as well.
