Additionally, there was some serious foul-smelling black muck in the
drain pipe when I disconnected the part I was replacing. �This is an
older house with cast iron drains, and it appeared that this muck was
only in the cast iron pipes, not the newer pvc stub out to the fixture.

There was a pretty serious plug right at the 45 degree elbow going out
to the sink; probably 3/4 of the pipe was blocked. �I knocked most of it
out with a screwdriver and the sink appears to be working OK now. �(it
would occasionally drain slow before.)

I have always had good luck with deltas, dont know about current spray
hose mounting my delta is about 1 years old.

cast iron pipe is rougher so gunk sticks, if your not having a problem
I would forget about it
