Installation Instructions
This section outlines the general procedure for replacing the adjusting ring in a Delta single-handle ball-type faucet. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your faucet model.
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink and turn them off completely. Turn on the faucet to relieve any remaining water pressure.
- Remove Faucet Handle: Use a screwdriver to remove the set screw located on the side or back of the faucet handle. Lift the handle off the faucet body.
- Remove Cap and Cam Assembly: Unscrew the decorative cap (bonnet nut) that covers the ball assembly. This may require an adjustable wrench or pliers. Carefully lift off the cam and packing assembly.
- Remove Old Adjusting Ring: The adjusting ring is typically located beneath the cam and packing assembly, surrounding the ball. Carefully remove the old adjusting ring. Inspect it for wear or damage.
- Install New Adjusting Ring: Place the new Delta Faucet RP250 Adjusting Ring into position, ensuring it sits correctly around the ball.
- Reassemble Faucet: Reinstall the cam and packing assembly, ensuring the cam's notch aligns with the pin on the faucet body. Screw the decorative cap back on, tightening it until snug but do not overtighten. Reattach the faucet handle and secure it with the set screw.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check for leaks.
- Test Faucet: Operate the faucet handle to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.
