Default "Vintage" Delta faucet parts

faucet is now obsolete? �Anyone who has a Delta kitchen faucet knows
they are not priced cheap. �Is there possibly an online store that

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.


Someone suggested going to a Mom n' Pop hardware store. I don't know
where you are, but if you are anywhere near Chicago, there is a store
on the South Side, Mount Greenwood Hardware, which is one of those
stores that has parts that no one should ever expect to find
anywhere. There is also the LaGrange Park Ace Hardware, which is
similar. The people there are incredibly helpful. I think Ace is one
of the chains supplied by one of the Delta aftermarket companies
mentioned in the thread.

Here is the contact information for the stores:

(773) 881-9770
3124 W 111th St
Chicago, IL 60655

Ace Hardware
900 E 31st St
la Grange Park, IL 60526
(708) 352-0666

Hope that helps!
