RP25513 faucet stem assembly repair kit fits Various Delta two handle lavatory, centerset, widespread bathroom faucet plus RP4993 seat and spring, 4pk

My bathroom faucet handles (see the photo) would seep water from their base whenever I turned the water on. I suspect this had been happening for years (I moved into the house last year), but I just started to notice it recently. I read online that the cartridges were probably bad and needed to be replaced. I wasn't sure if this was the right cartridge or not, since I didn't disassemble my faucet first out of laziness. I was fairly confident I had narrowed down to the right one. I turned out to be right. Read on for the rest of my story.If your faucet was already in your house when you moved in and you have tried to replace any parts on it yourself, you probably know how notoriously difficult it is to track down the right parts for it. Faucets typically have the brand name, but not the model number, so your only recourse is to stare at your faucet and Google Image yourself half to death and hope you finally find your actual faucet. And when you finally find a link to the part on the manufacturer's website, your jaw drops at the price for it. And then wait, you need two?! Yikes. Or you contact customer service, tell them you are the "original purchaser" of the faucet, then lose sleep over lying, then wait 3 weeks for the replacement. By then you have a whole new set of problems on your slate and you don't even care about the faucet anymore.So that's where my calculus was when I decided to order this set of 2 cartridges for half the price of just one OEM cartridge from Delta. They came in 2 days and I eagerly ripped them out of the package to install. They came with two faucet stems, two little rubber gaskets, and two springs. I watched a couple YouTube videos and it looked straightforward, so I got going. It went pretty smooth, except for two snags: one, the shutoff valves under the sink were locked in place, so I had to shut off water to the whole house. This is not great, because if anything else goes unexpectedly, you risk angering your significant other and/or dependents. Two, despite shutting off the water successfully, I could not get all the water out of the hole where you need to situate the gasket and spring. As soon as I sopped it up, it would immediately fill again. (Probably another issue to address later.) Luckily I was able to push it in anyway and put the handles back on, and it worked! The handles don't seep water from underneath anymore, and I solved my problem for under $20.Pro tip: lubricate the little gasket and the O-ring around the plastic part of the stem with some silicone grease. You can get this almost anywhere for a couple of bucks, and it makes the handles turn really smoothly. Also, take a picture of your existing cartridges while they're still installed--you need to line up the quarter-turn stop correctly on each faucet or they won't stop/turn correctly.TLDR: This is an easy DIY project that will hardly cost you anything if you buy these aftermarket cartridges.

Replaced old with this and it works fine. Too soon to know how long it will last. I didn't give it five stars because one spring looked questionable. Not sure if the spring was new or old because it was a tad out of shape compared to the other spring. It made it a bit of a bugger getting the spring to be seated properly. But it got it to work ! I would purchase again despite this little issue.

Inexpensive but works just like what Delta sells for a whole lot more and it comes the next day with Prime free of shipping charges. If you’re a handy-person this should be easy. You will need an Allen wrench set and an adjustable wrench. If you don’t know anything about plumbing call a plumber. This doesn’t come with instructions. I’m sure there are some self help videos and instructions online on repair of Delta faucets. Know what you are doing before you attempt this.

Direct replacement. Cheap. Worked like a charm. Easily install with some channel locks or plumbers pliers and a screw driver.

Replace both these old Delta valves on our jet tub. Used a bit of silicone greece, and they work better than new. Leaks are gone!!!

Feels just like a name brand one when using the faucet. We had a different brand that felt spongy when turning off the faucet. This one didn’t have that issue. Just on and off and no give.

The replacement worked like it was supposed too.

This is a well made faucet stem. I do recommend using a little bit of Silicone Faucet Grease when installing these types of things.

Product number received was different from the Product number ordered, but it fit perfectly.

Worked great, easy to install. Came with the spring and rubber washer

Avec les cartouches les robinet fonctionnent comme des neuves.
