DELTA FAUCET RP73000 Delta Plumbing Replacement Parts, Chrome

Worked as it should I only replace with name brand cartridges. Would buy again.

Came in Delta packaging so I'm assuming it is a genuine part. This is the part you need to solve one of these problems #1 leaking or a faucet that doesn't shut off or #2 a loose handle that wont stay tight (because the stem is probably stripped out, this happens slowly over time and don't think that you did anything wrong, it happens all the time to these faucets and unfortunately this part needs to be replaced every 5 years). I needed this to fix problem #2 which really is a poor design in how this part is manufactured. The stem hole where the bolt that holds the handle is made of a softer metal and is not threaded. You MUST cut new threads by forcing the little bolt into the hole and turning it in with the included wrench. Do this BEFORE you install the part into the faucet. When you thread in the bolt you MUST keep a lot of downward pressure on the bolt to make sure it keeps cutting into the stem and not stripping out! This is the most critical part of the instal, it is not hard but you must keep the bolt straight and press really hard while screwing it in. After creating a new set of threads in the stem, the installation is self explanatory. Turn off your water under the sink first and open the faucet until it no longer runs. Then remove your old handle, pull off a piece of decorative trim, remove an O-ring, unscrew a large brass nut with an adjustable wrench and the old control valve will come out. There are tabs to prevent you from installing it wrong, it will only fit one way, put the new valve in and work the rest of the steps backward. In total this should be a 15 minute job for most people with some mechanical knowledge, assuming your water shutoff under the sink works.

Exact replacement part with lower price and timely free delivery. Part installed in less than 15 minutes.

I’m able to install the delta cartridge on the faucet, but the issue I have is the screw that comes with it. Because the screw is not properly thread to the cartridge hole. I’ve to use slight force to screw the thread through the hole. Luckily, the screw went through the hole and solved that issue. I tested the faucet with new cartridge installed and no more water leakage. I might go to a local hardware next time for quality control.

Original replacement part. Worked perfectly, and saved me the $200-300 of buying a new kitchen faucet.

Exact cartridge valve for Delta Trinsic Kitchen Faucet. Had a consistent drip and this fixed it. Easy install for anyone

It has resolved leakage. It comes with instruction. Easy to use. Love it.

part arrived as advertised and works well. highly recommend to anyone wanting to stop the faucet from dripping. of note: the lever that has the screw hole is not threaded. manuf. should look into threading the part to match the allen screw supplied. currently you have to force the allen screw into the metal hold and scrape the threads into the metal part. so you need to use 'elbow grease' to get the new screw into the new part.
