How To Replace Your Delta Single Handle Faucet Cartridge 

THANK YOU!! I DID IT!! 😄 I absolutely could not have done this without you!! I watched the video throughout the procedure and everything worked. The only difference is that the part is now $40. Ha!! I did not have to call a plumber, so I am happy!! I read the part was good for 5 years, so don't know about the lifetime warranty. But it's fixed, and I didn't have to wait on something to be delivered.

You made it clear enough for this 75 YO grandmother to change the cartridge in under 15 minutes. The hardest part was getting down and up to get to the water shut off valves. Thank you!!

Single clearest instructional video I’ve ever watched.

This is a wonderfully made tutorial. It helped my amazing son fix our kitchen sink without having to spend money on a plumber.

Excellent video. On my install the orange gasket kept falling off the cartridge so I put some coconut oil on it to hold it while I installed it. This desugn is a huge step backward for delta their old faucets were easy to rebuild and the kits cost $5 while this cartridge cost me $40! Thanks for the video!

Great job!! I just saved $200 by not having my plumber come out. Plus I had a ball doing it myself! Great teacher!!👍👍

Thanks, completely relieved my anxiety over attempting to replace the cartridge. Took 10-15 max minutes after watching the video. Great job & thank you.

Excellent step by step directions with excellent "be careful" advice. THANK YOU MrV2u!

Thank you for this video. We had the problem of the delta single handle kitchen faucet just leaking and leaking and very difficult to turn it off. Purchased the part online anf followed your video and all is well with the kitchen faucet. Thank you again.

thank you. I struggled to get the cartridge to unscrew as it was stuck from years of service. Very hard water where I live. Your key about using an adjustable wrench and tapping with a hammer got it free. Sir - Good job!!! Thanks much.

Best video I've seen for replacing a Delta cartridge and I've seen plenty! Thank you.

Thank you for the video! I liked that it was detailed, up close where I could actually see what you were talking about, was straight to the point and that you did not bore us with the cleaning process. Thank you for the help.

Excellent video, straight to the point, I got back up and running in under ten minutes, thanks!

Wow - this is the exact video I needed. Replaced the cartridge in 10 minutes for $0 in labor. Thanks!

Very helpful. quick and without a lot of verbal BS. Thanks

Clear and to the point. Used Delta part and walk/talk thru entire process. Right on.

Got this done in under 10 minutes. Thanks for posting this video for a Delta single handle faucet.

Thank you so much! My husband is buying the part right now. Now I can have water in my kitchen again!!

Thank you, MrV2u! This gave my sweet husband the gumption to do this, even with a slightly leaky hot-water shut off. It didn't take much longer than the length of the video. You're a good guy!

Thank you so much! I did it and the hardest part was finding the hot water shut off valve hidden behind the garbage disposal, lol! I'm going to call delta for my free warranty replacement cartridge, this faucet is only 2 years old, if that. Thanks again!😄

thanks for explaining this! Once I was able to get the the trim cap off everything else went smoothly and just like you showed. Thanks for saving me the expense of a plumber!!

We did it !! And without the help of a plumber who wanted to charge us $400. Took us about 20 minutes, mostly because of calcium buildup around the threads. But it's done and it works beautifully. Thank you for the excellent video.

Thank you for showing the step of putting back on the handle. That little detail cost me a lot of time!

Just followed your video to replace the cartridge in delta 9192-dst. Thanks again.

Sir this was absolutely fantastic! Clear and precise. You rock! Thank you!

Excellent video! Save me money, because I didn’t have to replace my faucet. Thank you!

Thanks a bunch, huge help! I know these are fairly simple but I wasn’t sure about what part was needed. This is easy enough that I can do this as long as I have the part but fortunately I have a guy here that’s good at this kind of thing and I’m just his researcher.😉

Thank you! I was able to successfully do it with your guidance. You saved me time and cash. God bless.

Thank you for the video used it today to fix my kitchen faucet. To the point and helpful. Great job!

Thank you! I managed to replace cartridge without a plumbing catastrophe.

Thank you very much for your excellent well-instructed video , good job .

For the Ashton model like this one, call Delta, lifetime warranty. Stopper sink so you don't lose parts. The little orange slider on the cartridge adjusts hot water flow/anti scald. I want mine wide open for all the hot water I can get via handle adjustment. I bet many blame the water heater, when that valve is the culprit. BTW - that's why Delta went from the ball to the cartridge!

Thank you Papi! I'm a sissy and this video helped me get my faucet fixed! Love ya!

Thanks you very much just completed the job by your perfect instructions 👍

Incredibly helpful. I can do this! Thank you

Thank you so much! You did a great job and thanks for sharing with us. This was awesome and so was the photography

Great video. Simple and explains everything I needed to know.

Thanks. Good, clear video. Enjoyed the narration and the tattoos.

Greese the threads even on a new one saves headaches when taking apart later.

Great job. Just what I wanted to know especially about white vinegar.

Thank you! Your instructions worked perfectly.

Great Video and demonstration. Thanks 😊 Canada 🇨🇦

Easy Peezy, my faucet, no leaky. Thank you.

DUDE! Great video and camera work. Tomorrow morning, I will replace it and let you know. Thank you.

Great video also this part RP50587 is Backed by Delta Faucet's Lifetime Limited Warranty. Keep your HD receipt

Perfect. Just what I needed before heading to Home Depot.

I priced one of these cartridges and was glad I did not have to buy a new one because the cartridge would have cost 50% of the cost of the Delta faucet I have had for 5 years now. All I had to do was to grease the ball and the seats it rides in with special Plumber's Grease which is available at Lowe's and Home Depot and most hardware stores. Just do not disassemble the cartridge anymore than necessary in order to get to the ball ( which attaches to the handle). More than likely the actual valve is in great shape still. The ball and seats just need to be wiped clean with a paper towel and the special grease applied. I just bought Silicone Plumber's Grease today and it is supposed to be waterproof, which, I hope, means longer lasting.

Ok I’m going to try this on my drippy faucet. Great video ty!

At what point do you grease it? And how? That’s what I came here for. Excellent video! Tell your daughter great job videoing!

Thank you so much for taking your time to make this video

Thank you this helped tremendously!

Something went right, thanks for your video.

well done! Clear, and really a replacement valve work.

Great video! Fantastic detail.

Awesome! Thank you, easy to understand and follow along with.

What is the small sliding orange tab do please?

Very GOOD UNDERSTANDABLE EXACT VIDEO !! THANKS

Wonderful instructions. Thanks so much

I would add that once you clean the inner threads at the bottom of the brass coloured locking tube that holds the cartridge in place with a stiff toothbrush and vinegar, then lube those inner threads with food grade silicone grease if you have, or just as good is a good coating with olive oil. And when you tighten that locking tube with a wrench, very little torque is needed. Just lightly snug is all you need.

Excellent, nicely done, sir.

Thank You!! Great instructive video

Thank you for this! I got to the copper ring and was like : now what 🤷‍♀️

Appreciate the video. Also if you buy any delta faucets they will replace what you need for free

Thanks for the help! Worked out perfect.

I took old Cartridge Home Depot Beacon Hill Calgary Canada and they replaced with New FREE.

Helped me get mine today, thanks!

Good video, but the one thing I would add is that instead of getting the part from home depot, just call Delta. Their items are guaranteed for life. I called them, told them the faucet was leaking, they asked for the model number, etc... and sent me a new on the in the mail for free. Arrived 3 days after I called. They also sent me a new head because it wasn't functioning as well as it should either. No receipts needed... just asked when I purchased it and the model number. I didn't know my model number as I got my faucet in 2012, so Just just google and found it on the internet, wrote it down, then called them. Viola! Thanks for the tutorial though!

What is the orange switch for? Adjusting temp of mixed water, maybe?

I recommend soaking the parts of the disassembled cartridge in vinegar with a pinch of baking soda added. This will remove deposits on the parts of the cartridge that may have deposits causing it to grind as well. Rinse all parts thoroughly and re-grease and assemble.

If you call Delta they will replace the cartridge for NOTHING.

clear, easy to follow. Thanks

Very good job,thank you sir👍

Thanks so much great video so helpful!

No need to buy the Delta part. I just called Delta, told them the problem and faucet model #, and they are sending the valve to me for free. Apparently they really do provide a lifetime warranty with no games. No need to show original receipt etc. Very easy!

Thats Harvey Keitel......U the Man

Thank YOu, VERY helpful

Delta faucets come with a lifetime warranty - if you can wait for a week they'll send you the part for free!

The chrome part in mine is not sitting flush and I can't tighten it now. May have to buy another faucet tomorrow

Delta warranties their products for life. They will send replacement parts to you at no charge. If you don’t know the model number of your faucets all you have do is send customer service a photo on you mobile device they will be able to identify it. I’ve done it numerous times. This process also works for Moen faucets.

Good Job! Thanks for sharing.

As a former New Yawker, I have this to say: Thank Gawd that's the same fucking faucet I have. I've been looking for the right video on how to fix this thing for 2 hours. I also couldn't get that damn cartridge out to save my life, so thank you for showing me how to do that. You're a fucking life (and faucet) saver. THANK YOU!!! (unironically, I mean it)

Back in the day Delta kitchen faucets where cheap to fix the kit was two springs and rubber seats for a few dollars. Now like every thing else corporate greed wants to empty your wallet

Thanks for the great video. I have the same faucet and need to do the same job next week. I appreciate you doing this. Delta told me it is important to flush the lines underneath the sink before putting in the new cartridge. I have a bad back so getting under the sink is hard. Do you feel this is a necessary step to flush from underneath the sink or is the method you used sufficient?

Have you ever had a handle that would not come off the cartridge even after completely removing the set screw? Im having that issue and i need to get to the cartridge as its leaking a bit.

Thanks for this video!! It appears to provide all I need as a rank amateur to fix my leaking faucet. I'm about to tackle the cartridge repairs. In preparation I went searching for "Silicone grease". Harbor Freight? Don't have it. A local auto parts store seemed baffled by my request. However an employee, who claimed to be a "handyman", suggested "Synthetic Caliper Grease" and said that would "absolutely" do the job. When I read the package I see no mention of silicone as an ingredient. Also this comment on the package "waterproof formulation prevents against corrosion". QUESTION: Will the Caliper Grease suffice?

What size is the retaining nut? I think I overtightened it last time. my crescent wrench and monkey wrench are not doing it.

Thank you!

Excellent video, thx

I am having problem trying to remove the screw with an Allen wrench in the handle. The screw are way too tight. I have tried using WD40 to lime away. Yet it’s still not coming off…. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks

I have Delta with a pull out nozzle. The hose came loose from the faucet sput. Is there a trick to get the hose back up thru the hub assembly to reconnect?

I put the new cartfride in because the old one would not shut off. Now it will shut off but only if I close the hand from the cold side. If I shut it off from the hot side I get a trickle that wont stop. I have to turn the faucet back on then turn it off from the cold side before it will stop. Any ideas?

Are there seats and springs on these? Or are they inside the cartridge?

Thank you sir.

Thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You were a great help.

My sprayer works intermittantly. Where is the diverter located in the faucet? How can I replace it?

the bonnet nut and the cartridge can freeze up together. since the valve cartridge is plugged in at its bottom in two places, if the bonnet nut is forced, and the cartridge plugs break, you will be buying a new faucet. this is more of a pain than you would think, with many of these videos glossing over this problem completely. it is not mentioned that maybe the guy had to dismantle the faucet and soak it overnight in a container, to try to loosen the cartridge from the nut before attempting loosening the nut from the threads. even then no guarantee.

Why you not mention what the little orange switch is for???

Be aware that this part has a Lifetime Warranty. If you send Delta a copy of your faucet sales slip and Owner’s Manual, they will send you the replacement part. My son just replaced mine with the part Delta sent to me. $0.00 😃

Oh! Bada Bing babeeeeeeeeeee!! Dats how you do it!

set screw won't come off. soaked in vinegar for days, penetrating fluid, ATF, nothing works. torqued the allen wrench, now it's stripped. how to fix now?
