What should I do if my single-handle kitchen or lavatory faucet drips from the spout?
Your Delta® faucet is designed for leak-free performance, and all of our faucets are performance-tested before they leave our manufacturing facilities. If you experience a drip from the spout, follow the Early Maintenance instructions on page 3 of this guide. If you continue to experience the problem, follow these steps:
For Single-Handle Faucets, First:
•Remove the handle to determine what type of valve is inside.
•Look for an orange handle limit stop or a square stem in a yellow-green color. If you have either of these, you have a DIAMOND™ Valve. If you don’t have an orange handle limit stop or a yellow-green, square stem, you most likely have a ball valve.
