As a single gal homeowner, when things like this happen I think, “Oh gosh how much is a plumber going to charge for this?” Thank you so much! I did it myself! It worked! Thank God for UA-cam!

[@josephwilkonski4080]

Thanks for the great video. Delta folks didn't quite understand my questioning as to what the part was called or even if it was a delta faucet. Pictures were sent and they indicated that it didn't look lke their faucet. After several emails back and forth, they decided to send me a single "O" ring that they hoped would help. They also sent me a link to a you tube video that showed how to replace the O ring but, that was for a different faucet. They were gracious enough to send me the O ring at no cost which was nice of them. As a side note the O ring on their site was listed at .........$ 6.45 + shopping.

[@papajoeknows8355]

Kind of them to send you that O-ring, at $6 they’re pretty proud of that thing lol. I’ve got a kit with tons of them that I bought years ago, and I don’t think it cost much more than that. And I know they’re probably doing the best they can on the phone. Hopefully between them and the video you’ll be able to get it taken care of. 👍🏻

Thanks, Joe! Our Delta faucet manual parts breakout diagram showed two O-rings at the bottom of the spout, but when we took ours off, we only found one in the depression at the bottom and one in a depression up near the top of the neck. We tried it the way the manual showed. The upper O-ring didn't fit very well next to the lower O-ring, and sure enough it tore apart when we tried to put the spout back on. We tried it the way we found it with the second O-ring placed up in the high depression, and that did the trick. We did have to work a bit harder to get the spout off and get then get the spout back down than yours, but that may have been due to the two O-rings. Thanks again!

[@effortlesslydupree9721]

I love this but wonder why do I need a new ring when I could put the grease on the old one or what’s the difference? Thanks in advance brother

[@papajoeknows8355]

Tempting as it is to re grease it and put it back (and it may work for a while), it’s always best to replace it… they can be worn, almost imperceptibly, or have the tiniest nick that causes them to leak. And the truth is, everyone needs an assorted little box of O-rings in the garage that you know you have but can’t find.

Any advice for a collar that's corroded? I have the exact faucet and can't get it unscrewed.

[@papajoeknows8355]

I’ve had some luck in the past wrapping the collar with a hot wet hand towel, then trying again. I’ve sometimes done this repeatedly with very hot water. The idea is to heat up the metal so that it expands enough for you to get it to break free.

[@papajoeknows8355]

@@dla872 It’s a Delta faucet, I don’t know the model, but that doesn’t matter… you always want to take the cartridge up to your home improvement store to match it up.
