Delta Faucet RP4993, Black,Small

I was so surprised to find these on Amazon. Fixed up my 50 year old Delta shower faucet like new! Very impressed that it was made by Delta and not a knockoff.

Product working fine .Amazon had these ready and waiting so I ordered them so I didn't have to go out to big box stores who claim they carry them but are always out of stock. Simple cheap fix for a very annoying problem! Make sure they "seat" properly use plenty of silicone grease, make sure they are aligned properly..@ first after installation I still had a leak..but after about three turns of the faucet it stopped,I must have had it a little off. No leakage now for months..I bought a few sets for future and another faucet too.

Took a bit of time for delivery to the UK, which is understandable given it came all the way from US. Fitted perfectly and resolved the leaking tap, exemplary product.

What a cool little fix for an annoying problem, a leak from a single-lever kitchen faucet. There are online YouTube videos to tell you exactly how to proceed. It was a little harder to remove the old rubber seats than indicated but it still was no real problem. I also replaced the RP61 Cam Assembly @ $4.23 and the RP70 Ball Assembly Lever @ $7.58 while I was at it but I believe the little rubber seats were the causes for the dripping faucet. This job was easy! What I really liked was the ability to clean off everything with vinegar and detergent, as long as the faucet was disassembled. If you can identify the brand of the faucet, you should be able to go online and find parts lists from the manufacturer. I'd bet a plumber would have charged $100 for what I accomplished for pocket change.

I have a 2004 Delta Two Handle Bathroom Faucet Victorian Collection model #3555. Not be confused with the newer model 35955. The HW tap was leaking from under the bell of the handle when the CW tap was turned on. I suspected I needed to change out the stem cartridge and seal/spring give the age of the faucet. So, I just did both as opposed to testing each separately. Tracking down the parts was somewhat easy once I identified the faucet model, however, I did run into problems which I will get to in a second. YOU NEED TO BE VERY SPECIFIC AS TO THE DELTA MODEL NUMBER AND YEAR. Even though the Victorian model looks exactly the same through the 2000’s, the replacement part numbers can be different. I found this out when I ordered what I thought to believe was the correct seat/spring #RP10700. When in fact, it was the RP4993. For my faucet, 2004 #3555 STEM/CARTRIDGE: RP 24096 (this is mostly consistent across most of the #3555 years) SEAT/SPRING: RP 4993 (this in NOT consistent across many of the #3555 and depends upon year) I ordered from Amazon and Delta parts, not knockoffs. RP 25513. This includes ONE Stem/Cartridge (RP24096) plus the ¼ turn stop (RP24097). RP 8230. This includes ONE Stem/Cartridge (RP24096) plus the seat/spring (RP10700) So, looking at all the costs, I ordered Qty 2 of the RP25513 plus Qty 1 of the RP10700 (2 seats & springs). PROBLEM: When I changed everything out (HW only as CW was fine), the leaking stopped BUT the faucet started dripping when I turned on the HW supply valve. After “googling” the problem, the issue was likely the Seat/Spring. I had ordered the incorrect part RP10700 when in fact the RP4993 was needed. Interesting enough, when I removed the original, the seat spring I pulled out looked to be the RP10700. When I checked the CW tap, after the fact, the seat/spring appeared to be the RP4993, so I took a chance and ordered it. Voila, it was the right part and both the leaking and dripping has stopped and I’m done!!
