Danco 86970 Cartridge Repair Kit for Delta Single Handle Fauce, Pack of 1, Brass

Easy-to-follow instruction, does the job! Far better than a $100 plumber.

I used this Danco kit to fix a leaky faucet without replacing the entire unit. The parts fit perfectly and matched the original components, which made the repair feel dependable instead of a cheap fix. Installation is easy and takes only an few Minutes. After installation, the handle movement was smooth and the drip was completely gone. This kit saved me a lot of money compared to calling a plumber or buying a new faucet.

Purchased this to repair a drip in the bathroom faucet. I went for the kit that included the ball. Unfortunately, the ball didn't work on my faucet; the screw hole was in a different place. The remaining pieces worked fine. I could have saved a few dollars by purchasing the kit without the ball. There was no model number on my faucet. Live and learn. Anyway, cleaned all the build-up on the old ball and installed the other parts, and no more drips. In the future, I will purchase the kit without the ball.

I have a Delta center pull kitchen faucet that's 38 years old. It just started dripping so I considered, repair or replace. Looking at new models of the faucet, my leaker seemed a far better build. I had to use gentle heat with propane torch applied a few times to stuck, corroded threaded collar. (I removed the nylon adjuster collar before hand.I shrouded surrounding areas with aluminum foil to guard against misdirected flame. Capped drains so dropped parts wouldn't disappear). I used a pair of Channel Lock pliers with nylon webbing wrapped around collar to protect finish, to remove. The old ball was solid bronze, so I polished it and reused. I used an nylon abrasive pad to clean up everything else, lubing all parts lightly with food grade synthetic grease. Reassembling carefully so that parts keyed in to a settled position. Adjusted tensioning collar and handle. Restoring water supply, make sure supply valves not leaking afterwards. Now all good!! Be careful/patient and you won't be depositing dollars in cuss jar.

Worked great. Had everything I needed for overhaul of an old (40 year old) delta kitchen faucet. Sliding the plastic nub into the slot was a bit of a challenge. If you can hold down the side of the plastic ring with the nub, then start to screw down the outer housing piece, then switch to pushing down on the plastic ring with nub with the other hand (from the middle of the hole in the housing), the installation goes faster. Hope that helps. There is a youtube video that shows what I'm describing.

I started to notice our tub was leaking where it would drip a few times a minute. I thought the handle wasn't all the way off so I let it sit. Another week later I saw it was dripping faster than before. It was clearly not something that was going to go away. I honestly calculated the cost of the drip versus the cost of having to replace the whole faucet and it was cheaper to let it drip. I hated the environmental impact and the fact that something was "broken" in the house. I decided to look at getting a kit to fix the leak. This is what I landed on since it seemed like it would work best for me. I was able to use everything except the ball since I didn't pay attention when I check the faucet before ordering. There's a single screw in the middle of the faucet handle and this kit doesn't include that. Again, this was MY fault, not the kits fault. However, I was able to use everything else in the kit including the seals and springs. I reused the existing ball and the leak was fixed. It was clearly the old springs and seals on the inside that were worn out. If you have a single screw in the middle of the handle, look for a different kit but this did solve my leak since it was just the seals and springs that I needed. Overall very happy with the price of the kit and the peace of mind knowing the leak is gone and not going to get worse. Fix it before it becomes a problem is the way to go and for this price, it's an easy choice.
