As a single gal homeowner, when things like this happen I think, “Oh gosh how much is a plumber going to charge for this?” Thank you so much! I did it myself! It worked! Thank God for RU-vid!

My kitchen faucet is leaking exactly like yours, and you gave me the confidence to tackle it. Thank you for a great short vid👍

It helped me! I swear, you can fix 90% of things in 5 minutes with youtube and people like this guy, nowadays.

Thank you so much! My husband passed away about two months ago and this was my first major project to have to do on my own. Your video was perfect. Thanks again.

WOW! Sooo glad I clicked on this link!!! This definitely looks like an EASY fix. THANX for sharing your video! I will be repairing mine myself tomorrow! Im sure you just saved me a lot of money too :)

Thank you, that was very helpful. I appreciate how you explained what you were doing as you went along!

Nice video. Great point about having an o-ring supply and grease at the ready.

I only flipped the o ring and it worked. Thank you for the instructions!!!

Thanks for the video. Verified what I figured was what I needed to do so I get at it before the leak gets worse.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! You saved me from calling a plumber and possibly getting nickled and dimed for a simple job! You are awesome!!!!!!

Thank you for the great video. Couldn't believe when I clicked on it and saw that I have the exact same faucet. When I started to un-screw that base piece, I noticed that it was loose. I could turn it by hand. So, I just tightened it back down by hand and my leak stopped. I now know though what to do, thanks to you, if it starts leaking again.

Joe, thank you. The sink configuration and fix is exactly what I needed help with, and I even had one of those O ring kits sitting around!

thank you Papa Joe....I had the same leak exact same place and you were my life saver.... .99 cents and the problem was fixed your awesome thank you once again....a plumber would have charged me a big service call and tell me i need a new faucet.....i can feel the tightness with that new o ring too

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed and it's easy enough for me to do myself!! Money saved :)

For anyone who might need tonreplace the hot and cold cartridges, the part # OEM Delta part # is RP47422. The Delta faucet model # 413763 (Lazer ingraved on back of stem piece). When I called Delta directly they sent the wrong parts. My parts came from Amazon after an exhausting search. **Thank you for an amazing video. You saved people tons of money by being the awesome your are.

You saved me $100 and gave me confidence to fix whatever’s next!

Thanks for this. I'm a builder in Ireland but my daughter has a similar leak in Vancouver so I am happy to send her this link. Her tap is different but the principle is the same. Thanks again.

Papa Joe, you know what you’re doing! Thanks from our household to yours-disaster averted!

Thanks for the great video. Delta folks didn't quite understand my questioning as to what the part was called or even if it was a delta faucet. Pictures were sent and they indicated that it didn't look lke their faucet. After several emails back and forth, they decided to send me a single "O" ring that they hoped would help. They also sent me a link to a you tube video that showed how to replace the O ring but, that was for a different faucet. They were gracious enough to send me the O ring at no cost which was nice of them. As a side note the O ring on their site was listed at .........$ 6.45 + shopping.

Thank you!!!! I came home to my water faucet shooting water all over my sink and backsplash when I turned on the faucet. Watched the video twice. Went to Lowes and bought O rings, wrench and plumbing tape. And I fixed it! I really could t afford a plumber visit so I really appreciate this.

Thank you so much! I'm not handy, and was able to fix this quickly by myself. Usually, no project is as easy as it appears on RU-vid, but this was one fixed in a few minutes and worked perfectly! I used your affiliate links to purchase both products and subscribed to your channel. Thanks a million!

Excellent video, short and to the point. Thanks

Thank you great video just needed to confirm my instinct on the grease part of fixing my kitchen faucet

Clear and concise, thank you so much. Off to get my o ring kit of washers ❤

thank you 😊 i have been watching and learning

Worked like a charm. :) Thank you!

Thanks Joe quick and easy fix thanks to you!!!!

Thank you. Great informative video. Helped me ALOT.

Thanks! (I’m 18 travelling to Uni but live at home currently) My mum has been doing a lot round the house recently and getting a lot of stuff fixed so I was hoping to help out in some way by getting a plumber in to fix this issue, but will definitely try this!

You kept the O-Ring replacement action in the camera shot. Bravo. 🎉

Thank You Papa Joe!

Thanks, Joe! Our Delta faucet manual parts breakout diagram showed two O-rings at the bottom of the spout, but when we took ours off, we only found one in the depression at the bottom and one in a depression up near the top of the neck. We tried it the way the manual showed. The upper O-ring didn't fit very well next to the lower O-ring, and sure enough it tore apart when we tried to put the spout back on. We tried it the way we found it with the second O-ring placed up in the high depression, and that did the trick. We did have to work a bit harder to get the spout off and get then get the spout back down than yours, but that may have been due to the two O-rings. Thanks again!

Thank you for your excellent, yet clear and simple instructions. This should be a snap to fix, but at first it looks like a complete mystery. BTW Your faucet is exactly the same as mine.

Thank you sir you have been extremely helpful to me!!!!! 😃

This is a lifesaver! Thank you so much!!!

I will try this, thank you for sharing

Have exact same facet with same like problem. Thanks for showing how to unscrew part using facecloth and channel locks.

My kitchen faucet works now. No Maintence Department call needed. $2.97 for #13 O-Rings (12-pack). $1.97 for Plumber’s Grease. 6-7 minutes. Thank you much !!

Thanks man. Saved my wife and I a headache.

Love it! Thanks Papa Joe!!!

Hi thank you for this video it helped me fix a faucet instead of having to get a new one.

Thanks, that was the fix I needed! You saved me a lot of money in calling a plumber. I owe you a beer! Cheers, appreciate it.

Thanks, you saved me a lot of money! (Simple) makes sense to me!

It’s a miracle! Thank you!

I have same dame one an i was about to buy a new one ,thanks

Wow thank you, you just saved me a plumber's appointment!!!

Thankyou loud and clear fixed😊

Yes this helped me a lot thank you so much for sharing this video 😊

My Moen utility sink in the laundry room was doing this. Except when you swivel the faucet to the right the collar was already loose. The extra play in faucet pretty much helped to wear out the o-ring. Its good as new now.

Thank you that fixed my problem.

I'm a widow woman and don't want to pay plumbers for a simple task. THANK YOU for posting this!! I think I can do this and save money.

Thank you very much I appreciate all the help you given

Thanks dude this is a great video

Very helpful video. Thank you

Thank you so much for your video. I live in an apartment building where our super refuses to do any repairs. My tape is old and its starting to leak pretty badly. I know how to change the washers but wasn't sure about that particle stop. Thank you again.

VERY GOOD VIDEO,,,,,,,,THANKS

Great explanation!

This is so helpful, thank you for posting, will see if this works, ‘live in an old apartment and the sink is so annoying.

Terrific! Thank you!

Thanks, this worked!

Check this first: In my case, I thought it was the base that was leaking, but luckily looked closely with a flashlight and turns out the irrigator (spout) was clogged up causing a leak down the stem to the base. Just had to unscrew irrigator and clean. No more leak.

Thank you!

Great video!!

Same exact faucet thank you

Thank you!😊

Thanks so much!

Thank you, sir.

Thank you this was so helpful!

Excellent video. It is really scary to find out something like this goes wrong around home. Too expensive to call the specialist.

Thank You Soo Much.

Thank you

Thank you so much

Good to know, in case some are wondering this is a Delta Vessona faucet

Thanks🔥🔥🔥

Thanks

Thank you sir.

Thanks!

tks

I have a bathroom one that is doing this. It looks different. It has a lift up, swivel handle. I guess I will have to figure out where the o ring is ??

Thank you! I am going to fix my mother-in-law's sink. We have a small-town hardware store here, & I'm certain the owner can advise me as to which o-rings I need.

Very good video! Do you have any suggestion for how to remove the spout which appeared to be stuck to the base?
