Delta Single Handle Kitchen Faucet Repair Kit

A Delta single handle kitchen faucet is a popular choice for homeowners because it is stylish, functional, and relatively easy to repair. If your Delta single handle kitchen faucet is leaking, dripping, or otherwise not working properly, you can often fix it yourself with a repair kit. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to repair a Delta single handle kitchen faucet using a repair kit:

1. Gather your materials. You will need a Delta single handle kitchen faucet repair kit, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.

2. Turn off the water supply. There are two water supply lines that connect to the bottom of the faucet. Use the pliers to turn off the water supply to both lines.

3. Remove the handle. Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold the handle in place. Pull the handle straight up to remove it.

4. Remove the cartridge. Use the pliers to grasp the cartridge and pull it straight up to remove it. The cartridge is a cylindrical-shaped part that is located inside the faucet body.

5. Inspect the cartridge. Look for any signs of damage or wear on the cartridge. If the cartridge is damaged, you will need to replace it with a new one.

6. Install the new cartridge. If the cartridge is damaged, insert the new cartridge into the faucet body. Push the cartridge down until it is seated properly.

7. Reinstall the handle. Align the handle with the faucet body and push it down until it is seated properly. Tighten the two screws that hold the handle in place.

8. Turn on the water supply. Turn on the water supply to both lines and check for leaks. If there are no leaks, your faucet is now repaired.
