Delta faucet
 

We have a Delta 2-handle faucet. All of a sudden, it started dripping. We
found out that the cold water side was the culprit. We replaced the Stem
Unit (RP1740) on the cold water side. The faucet still dripped. Then we
put the NEW stem unit on the HOT water side and put the stem unit from the
hot water side on the COLD water side and the cold water side still drips.
Apparently the stem unit was not the problem.

We're confused as to what to do next. Right now, we've just turned off the
water to the cold side to stop the dripping.

Does anyone know what could be causing the drip?

Thanks in advance,
Debbie

Email Delta. If it is one of their top lines it has a 30year warranty or
something. I had a problem with the finish on 2 of them and they Fed Exed me a
pair for free.

Pull your stem again and underneath it you should find a rubber seat and
spring. It lifts out and should be replaced. Sliding the replacement
over the end of a ballpoint pen or pencil help with the replacement.

Thank you. I don't know why I didn't think of going to their web site. I
lurk around in this newsgroup and see so much information that I thought
someone could help me ... and you did! They had the exact answer and it is
no longer dripping.

That's the exact answer we found on Delta's web site. Thank you for
responding.

You are welcome. I like chatting tech stuff as much as the next guy but
sometimes you just need something you can "google"
