If your Delta RP17453 Pull-Down Diverter Tub Spout stops dripping after 5 minutes, your ok. If it never stops dripping, you need to replace delta faucet cartridge(s) behind the handle(s). This is were the water turns on and off and stops the water flow to the tub spout.

Delta faucets are some of the easiest to repair, and parts are usually available at any hardware store or home center. If you have a two handle faucet, replace both delta seats and springs and stems. If you have a single handle Delta faucet, replace the entire cartridge.

you need to clean out the diverter before replaceing with new washers and seats.

On most delta models you pop the cap in the center of the handle. Then there is a screw to remove the handle. If it is old the bonnet can be hard to remove. Be careful, as you don't want to damate the complete faucet behind the wall.

Faucet is leaking due to seats bad.

1- Turn water off first and remove handle and remove collar that holds stem and remove it..

2- in valve there are seats that looks like caps they may be in valve body or the end of stem itself.

3- Remove them and the springs and replace them this will take care of the leaking problem.

The part number rp4993 I believe are the seats and springs for Delta faucets. Be sure to turn off the water before you begin. If you are working on a Delta, I am guessing a single handle. Then once you have removed the handle, the bonnet or cap should be exposed. There is a little grooved section that goes around the bonnett that you can grip with pliers or a pipe wrench. It should unscrew counter clockwise. Once this is off you can remove the ball and seats and springs to replace. I hope this helps.

It should be compable with a new delta if you replace it with one or you can get washers to rebuild it yourself. Delta are a real good faucet.

you bought the wrong one you need to get the right one the are the same and not diffrent.

You may want to replace the ball or cartridge whichever the case may be. Also be sure to use Genuine Delta parts as they will hold up much better than the aftermarket parts. I hope this helps.
