When it comes to fixing a Delta faucet there are three different types of faucets, a single handle, a two handle, and a pull-out. Many of the Delta parts are interchangeable and can be used on every type of faucet, however some of the parts you purchase can only be used on specific ones. If you are in need of some Delta kitchen faucet repair parts here are some of the different types of faucet repair parts you can buy for your fix.
O-Rings
An O-Ring is a small rubber ring inside the faucet which prevents the spout from leaking. In many cases if you find yourself with a leaky faucet than the problem is the O-Ring. If you have a leak from the base of the spout in a Delta one handle, or two handle faucet than most likely the problem you are dealing with is the O-Ring.
