Delta Double Handle Bathroom Faucet Cartridge Replacement

Replacing the cartridge in a Delta double handle bathroom faucet is a relatively simple task that can be completed in about 30 minutes. The cartridge is the heart of the faucet and controls the flow of water. Over time, the cartridge can become worn or damaged, which can cause leaks or other problems. Replacing the cartridge is a straightforward way to fix these issues and ensure that your faucet continues to function properly.

Before you begin, gather the necessary tools and materials. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, an adjustable wrench, a pair of pliers, and a new cartridge. You can purchase a new cartridge at your local hardware store or home improvement center.

Once you have gathered your tools and materials, you can begin the replacement process. First, turn off the water supply to the faucet. You will find the shut-off valves under the sink.

Next, remove the handles from the faucet. To do this, use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the handles in place. Once the screws are removed, the handles can be pulled off.

Once the handles are removed, you will need to remove the cartridge. To do this, use the adjustable wrench to loosen the nut that holds the cartridge in place. Once the nut is loose, the cartridge can be pulled out.

Now, insert the new cartridge into the faucet. Make sure that the cartridge is properly aligned and that the o-rings are in place. Once the cartridge is in place, tighten the nut that holds it in place.

Finally, reattach the handles to the faucet. To do this, insert the handles into the holes in the faucet and tighten the screws that hold them in place. Once the handles are tight, turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
