Default "Vintage" Delta faucet parts

wrote:

I have a Delta pullout kitchen faucet that I bought a bit over 15
years ago. I now need a new diverter that goes inside this faucet.
But here's the aggravating part. Even the Delta representative said
this diverter part is no longer made. What a bummer! A 15 year old
faucet is now obsolete? Anyone who has a Delta kitchen faucet knows
they are not priced cheap. Is there possibly an online store that
has _pictures_ of the diverters they have in stock?? There is no
part number for this and I can't find a serial number for my faucet.

I simply can't believe there is not one single diverter in the whole
United States for my faucet and frankly I'm disappointed in Delta for
not keeping these in stock. Personally, I don't consider a 15 year
old faucet really ancient. I spent the day going from supply house to
supply house to supply with no luck until the Delta rep was at one of
these supply houses. And his news was not welcome.

The faucet is useable just I get water that is 50% stream and 50%
spray. If anyone has knowledge of an online store that I could view
the diverter I would be *most* appreciative.

Thanks in advance for ANY help anyone can provide.



DANCO is probably the biggest aftermarket supplier
of parts for all brands.
They no longer sell direct to the public but have
franchise agreements with retail outlets.

See:

for places that might be able to help.

Find a Delta model# at the very least before you go.
