How Do You Repair A Delta Kitchen Faucet?
If you have a Delta faucet that has one handle and one water spout, you can easily repair it by purchasing a repair kit from any local hardware store. The entire kit is inexpensive, and it takes approximately 15 minutes from start to finish to complete the job. Shut off the water valves underneath the sink before you disassemble the faucet. If you don’t see shutoff valves under the sink, you may need to shut off the main water valves to the house. Lift the water handle on the faucet to the open position to release any water left in the faucet and to ensure that the water has been shut off entirely. Use an Allen wrench to remove the faucet handle. Turn the Allen wrench counterclockwise to loosen it. Unscrew the white cap, or chrome dome. If it’s too tight to be loosened with your hands, use a pipe wrench to remove it. Take out and inspect the rotary ball for any cracks or scratches. If the ball has any marks or cracks, you should replace it. Remove the two black rubber seats and springs
