20 Most Recent Delta Faucet Delta 467-SSSD-DST Palo Diamond Seal Kitchen Pull-Out or Out Faucet Brillia Questions & Answers

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. https://www.faucetdirect.com/index.cfm?page=product:warrantyPopup&uniqueId=2417692 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.

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

I hope this will help please go to this web site for a downloadable parts link. If it is leaking from the spout replace the seats and springs to correct the problem. Turn water off and remove handle with a 1/8" allen wrench and remove retaining collar to access the ball assembly to remove the seats and springs.

The parts page on this link will give you a break down and hope this will help.

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.

Take a rag and put over nut then tap all-around nut. Then use your hand to try and unscrew. A strap wrench is the best tool for taking these off. I have been to so many of these where the homeowners have used channel locks or pipe wrenches and scarred up nut or broken off copper tubes. They seem amazed when i tap it a few times and remove it with my hands. Channel locks and pipe wrenches actually cause the nut to bind when using this much force. Make sure you loosen the plastic retainer on top of the nut first.For more details about single faucet repair

remove the handle that turns water on and off , usually an allen wrench lift and swing back and forth at the same time. the spigot should come off. replace o rings lubricate with silicone grease reinstall spigot and handle

If you have steel pipes you may be experiencing reduced flow due to corrosion in your pipes. Reduced hot water pressure in the kitchen faucet is usually the first sign since this is the faucet that is most used in the home.

Repiping is a job for a professional. Another symptom you may need a repipe is orange colored or rusty water.

I've installed quite a few of these from the big box stores that leak. There are 2 rubber pieces inside the valve body that act as seats. The seats are what turn the water on and off as you move the handle. These rubbers need to be replaced. You can buy a delta repair kit, which will contain these parts. Where the faucet is new, it might be easier to bring it back

It probably is a clogged aerator. The small piece, right where the water comes out, unscrews. There is a screen behind it the often collects dirt and minerals. Clean that off and try it again

Unscrew and clean aerator.

The cause is Hydrogen Sulfide either in the wells they are pumping from or due to bacteria. Do you also have a 'rotten egg' odor? High concentrations of this gas can be deadly. You should get the yearly report the water company must produce on the composition of your water and analyze it. You may want to have the water in your home testes to see if it has the same percentage of H2S that they are reporting. You can remove some of it by Carbon Filtration but you would have to speak to a local water treatment company.

It could be lime/ calcium deposits in the shower head. Soak shower head in clr and it should be good to go

there should be 2 plastic nuts under the sink that hold the fixture tight to the sink. if they are tight allready try to install washers and see if that helps. right is tight. left is loose.

Probably needs a new washer.

Modern low flow plumbing devices reduce water flow by using smaller passages inside the unit. The downside of this conservation is that appliances are more easily clogged by debris that may be in the supply lines. Frequently it gets stuck in the cartridge. I have even found it in the supply line connections.

Just faucets in general I look underneath..they are often attached W/ nuts ..
