How to Replace a Delta Bathroom Sink Cartridge

Replacing a Delta bathroom sink cartridge is a relatively simple task that can be completed in under an hour. By following these instructions, you can save yourself the cost of calling a plumber and get your sink back up and running in no time.

The first step is to gather your tools. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat head screwdriver, and a pair of pliers. You may also want to have a bucket or bowl on hand to catch any water that may leak out of the sink.

Once you have your tools, you can begin by turning off the water supply to the sink. There should be two shut-off valves under the sink, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. Turn both valves clockwise until they are completely closed.

Next, you need to remove the handle from the sink. To do this, use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws that are holding the handle in place. Once the screws are removed, you can pull the handle straight off of the stem.

Now you can remove the cartridge. Use the flat head screwdriver to pry the cartridge loose from the housing. Be careful not to damage the housing or the cartridge.

With the cartridge removed, you can now install the new cartridge. To do this, simply insert the new cartridge into the housing and tighten it by hand. Do not overtighten the cartridge.

Once the cartridge is installed, you can reattach the handle. To do this, simply slide the handle back onto the stem and tighten the screws. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
