Water trickles from tub shower faucet. Is cartride gone bad? I have 1700 series delta faucet. If the problem is with cartridge, where do I find information how to do it. Delta website gives very little info. Please help

Delta has a replacement policy with Home Depot or Loews. Call them. It is just a matter of you taking the cartridge with you and they will give you a new one. Free.

It is as simple as that.

I have done it a few times myself.

Fixing faucet leak in bathroom. How to replace the seat and spring on a Delta Faucet.

Delta bathroom sink fixture with separate hot and cold knobs. At least 20 years old. I replaced both cartridges with (what I thought were) the proper cartridges--I took them to Home Depot to compare--and at first everything was fine, although I really had to crank down on the knobs to get the faucet to stop dripping. Two months later I'm getting a steady drip. Since the cartridges are brand new, either they were the wrong ones or I installed them incorrectly. Any ideas? Thanks.

You should never have to crank down on ANY faucet to get it to stop dripping.
If that's the case, there's a problem somewhere.
In your case, it's most likely in the seats.
That's the brass rings that the cartridges, or valve stems, seal on.
These should have been replaced along with your valve stems.
In fact, they should have come with them when you purchased them.
You need a special, inexpensive seat removal tool to get them off and install new ones.
Once you do that, your faucet will be like new.
And no more cranking on your faucet knobs...

I have a delta shower valve and I replaced the cartridge, but I cannot get the cartridge to go all the way back in to the housing. I do not want to damage it, what should I do?

The cartridge should be well greased with high temp stem grease on the o'rings, for easy install. First, make sure there are no foreign object inside the housing, then place the cartridge inside the housing, aligning the raised notch on the cartridge into the groove on the brass housing. Place the brass nut (threaded ring) over the cartridge, and tighten the ring down while applying steady pressure to the cartridge, making sure the notch and groove align- as you tighten the ring it will pull the cartridge back into the housing- for easier tightening apply stem grease to the threads of the brass nut. Hand tighten, do not torque down with pliers, this is not necessary.

Replacement cartridge for bath faucet

The faucet is almost 5 years old and came with the new house.
I removed the handle , however, I could not remove the cover to expose the interior parts. Delta sent me a cartridge to replace, but no instructions how to install
cheked the delta website. no instruction how-to dis-assemble

Take a cresent wrench or a pipe wrench and loosen the nut that is around the stem. Use a towel in the jaws of the wrench so you won't mess up the chrome or other finish that it has. Good luck. If you need further assistance, go down to the hardware store and have them give you instructions or show you how it's done.

I have a leaky showerhead and trying to get to the cartridge to replace. I am having a problem removing the trim sleeve from the unit. It is frozen solid.

try CLR in a baggie, wrapped around the head. Let it soak for a couple hrs. Good luck
