Delta Single Handle Bathroom Faucet Repair Kit

If your Delta single handle bathroom faucet is leaking, dripping, or otherwise malfunctioning, you may be able to repair it yourself using a Delta single handle bathroom faucet repair kit. A wide variety of Delta repair kits are available, and the correct kit will depend on the model of your faucet. Here's a general guide on how to repair a Delta single handle bathroom faucet using a repair kit:

1. Gather your tools and materials. You will need a Delta single handle bathroom faucet repair kit, a Phillips screwdriver, and a flathead screwdriver. You may also need a wrench or pliers if the faucet is particularly difficult to disassemble.

2. Turn off the water supply to the faucet. There are usually two water supply lines underneath the sink, one for hot water and one for cold water. Use a wrench or pliers to turn off the valves on both lines.

3. Remove the handle. Most Delta single handle bathroom faucets have a handle that is held in place by a screw. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw and then pull the handle straight up to remove it.

4. Remove the cartridge. The cartridge is the part of the faucet that controls the flow of water. To remove the cartridge, use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the cap on top of the faucet. Then, use a wrench or pliers to unscrew the cartridge and pull it straight up to remove it.

5. Install the new cartridge. Take the new cartridge and insert it into the faucet body. Turn the cartridge clockwise until it is hand-tight, then use a wrench or pliers to tighten it further. Be sure to not overtighten the cartridge.

6. Reinstall the cap. Place the cap back on top of the faucet and press down firmly to secure it.

7. Reinstall the handle. Align the handle with the faucet body and push it down until it is fully seated. Insert the screw and tighten it using a Phillips screwdriver.

8. Turn on the water supply to the faucet. Check for leaks around the handle and the base of the faucet. If there are no leaks, your faucet repair is complete.

If you are unable to repair your Delta single handle bathroom faucet using a repair kit, or if you are uncomfortable performing the repair yourself, you can contact a qualified plumber for assistance.
