Use and Care Manual

What should I do if my two-handle kitchen or lavatory faucet drips
from the spout?
For Two-Handle Faucets, First:
• Check under the sink to determine what type of valve is installed.
• Look for the supply tubes coming out from under your faucet. If they are
flexible gray tubes, you have a model with a DIAMOND
™
Valve. If you don’t
have gray PEX supply tubes, you most likely have a two-handle valve with
seats and springs.
For DIAMOND Valve Models:
• Refer to the Installation Instructions/Owner’s Manual (available on
deltafaucet.com) for your specific model to ensure the handles are
properly installed. If they are not correctly installed, the valves may
not completely close, causing the spout to drip.
• Reinstall handles if necessary.
• Contact 1-800-345-DELTA (3358) or visit deltafaucet.com/customersupport
for assistance if you continue to experience issues.
For Non-DIAMOND Valve Models:
• Follow the Early Maintenance instructions on page 3 of this guide.
• Replace the seats and springs (see illustration below) if the faucet continues to
drip. To obtain replacement seats and springs, call 1-800-345-DELTA (3358)
or visit a local Delta
®
Genuine Parts dealer.
• Visit deltafaucet.com/customersupport and choose the appropriate link

faucet’s seats and springs.
