Delta Faucet Company 467-SSSD-DST Palo Diamond Seal Technology Pull-out Kitchen Faucet, Stainless, 3 years old and is beginning to drip unless we position the handle just right. Is there a washer? I've looked everywhere for a manual or instructions on how to change/replacement/troubleshoot with no luck. any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Bad seal. Replace the seal.


Good luck

There are two rubber o rings under the spout, one at the top and one on the bottom, Remove the handle then the nut that you will see that is in contact with the spout. Rock the spout left to right and pull up at the same time. You then can replace the O rings and make sure you put some food grade lub on the O rings. Replace all that you took off and you are god to go.

best of luck Rich

there may be under the handle is a crown nut + a plastic collar which holds down the inards there is a tool that works this. it can be gotten at hardware store.. handle usely comes off w/ 1/8 allen wrench...

Hi,
Take the handle off (set screw underneath)
Then turn the top off under the handle....make sure water is off...
then you will find a ball with the handle stem on it....note the position of it and pull it out...
under there are two wets of springs and rubber seats...
pull the right side out and check the hole for a blockage...(dirt or rust)
if none is visible, you may have to unhook the cold water supply hose
and then blow compressed air back through the hole to remove the blockage...
then reassemble...

This the best I could find

Are you using a softener in your home? Sometimes hard water deposits can clog up the cartridges and create the problems you such described. Im not sure about the lock/button issue though since I have never used this particular Delta faucet myself, but with one problem, it can usually cause many others.
Try replacing the cartridge on the Delta faucet first, Here is a link to the replacement one from the Delta site. http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/RP50587.html

It sounds like the cartridge is going or is possibly loose, If you take the handle off you can try to GENTLY tighten the cartridge and see if that fixes the leak. You don't have to tighten it a lot to see if it will stop; if you over tighten you can cause the housing to split and you don't want to strip the cartridge head because you may have to remove it. Use a proper set of channel locks and apply some gentle pressure if it turns and the leak stops, great! if it doesn't then the cartridge has failed and needs replacing. Your Delta faucet is covered by a limited lifetime warranty so the part should be free. Here is the warranty and the contact information to order one.

If you are not comfortable dealing with plumbing issues I would highly recommend calling a licenced plumber. The part is free so its simply the plumbers time.
Good luck.

When you filled the water heater did you get all the air out of lines and water flowing before you turned power onto heater. It sound's like the bottom element on the heater is not working. That is if it's the same throughout the house hot then get's cold.
Check the power to the lower element and thermostat.

Delta faucets have a lifetime warranty. Call them and tell them, they will send you a rebuild kit. You can rebuild the whole faucet, it will work like new again.
