Seats and Springs Kit for Delta Faucets

Durable long lasting seats and springs. Replaced the longer seats twice with very good results. First replacement was after water main flushing. Suspect particles made their way into the faucet and damage the seats. Takes a week for a drip to become enough to replace so seats seem durable even when leaking. Second replacement was due to cold water drip. Both seats showed wear, tear like damage, with well over three years use. The Delta faucet has performed extremely well for over twenty years. Except for the seats and springs all parts are original. Both replacement seats lasted well, first over five, second over three years. Quick and easy to replace. Used silicone greases liberally on springs seats, faucet ball valve and all threads. All came apart easy with little corrosion. Satisfied with the seat installation, performance and availability at Home Depot.

I used the seats and springs for delta kitchen faucet a year ago still not one drip.The bathroom delta faucet was dripping so I replace the seats and springs with the danco its been a week no drips time will tell update later.

Very easy to install and worked right away.

it's working, what more can I say?

It took 2 tries to install but once I understood and got the hang of how they work it went well. I used a dab of Vicks to hold the spring in place inside the rubber seat. You have to make sure they are fully seated and straight / flush with the bottom of the faucet. Don't over tighten the nut that holds the valve in place so that the valve doesn't bind up.

Danco rubber is garbage. I have three Delta faucets that use these seats. In the past two years, I've replaced all of them once, two of them twice, and the hot water side on one of them four times. I've tried with and without silicone grease. I've cleaned the valve thoroughly each time. No matter what, the material these are made from turns hard and gets glazed over from rubbing on the valve to the point that they squeak and leak within a matter of months. During the first overhaul, I replaced both O-rings in each valve with Danco rings, as well. About a third of these have also turned brittle, making the faucets hard to turn and requiring replacement. Again, I tried some with silicone grease, and some without (per a plumber's recommendation). There is no difference in the longevity of the repair. Last week, I went to a real plumbing supply store and bought OEM Delta seats. I just installed them on all three sinks today, and am hoping for a longer lifespan. Even initially, it's clear that the Delta product is better than the Danco. The rubber is softer. The seats actually drop right into the faucets, unlike the Dancos which require copious wrestling to force them into the holes. The OEM parts cost me a few bucks more - but so far I've spent more on the Danco parts because I have to keep replacing them. If the Deltas last two or three years, they'll ultimately be a better value. If you have a leaky Delta faucet, you can use these Danco seats in a pinch - just long enough to order the real Delta RP4993 part from the Home Depot website.

Easy to replace. WORKS LIKE NEW

These work great. I fixed one of my faucets with these 5 years ago and no leak. I fixed my others with the full kit no issues. I think some folks that are having issues aren't replacing all parts that need to be replaced and aren't using grease. 4 sinks no issues.

I bought these to fix a slow drip on my Delta shower faucet back in Oct '17, and less than two months later the drip was back. I had replaced the seats and springs on this shower maybe 7 years ago, and I used Delta parts last time. And it worked fine for many years. So I was forced to by the official Delta seats and springs, and noticed a definite difference. When I pulled the Danco seats out one was stuck and not moving at all with the spring, and the other felt really tight. These springs that were only installed for 2 months. The Delta seats and springs felt much looser and moved a lot easier, and the drip is gone again.
