Section 1: End Valve & Handle Installation
Your installation will be one of the steps below. Illustrations show various configurations.
Step A: Prepare Valve Assembly
Illustration shows a plastic gasket (labeled 1) being slid onto the valve assembly (labeled 2), ensuring the lip feature faces up.
Step B: Optional Bushing for Larger Holes
Illustration shows an optional plastic bushing (labeled 3) being slid onto the valve assembly (labeled 2). This is for hole sizes greater than 1 3/8" to properly center and seal valves to the sink.
Step C: Install Valve Assembly
Illustration shows the valve assembly (labeled 2) being slid through the deck mounting hole. It notes that the valve with the "Hot" label should be installed in the left hole for proper handle rotation. A washer (labeled 4) is then slid onto the valve assembly below the deck mounting.
Step D: Secure Washer
Illustration shows screws (labeled 6) being installed onto a nut (labeled 7), and the nut being threaded onto a shank (labeled 5). The washer (labeled 4) is secured to the deck using screws, ensuring even tightening.
Step E1: Attach Handle Assembly
Illustration shows the handle assembly (labeled 8) being threaded onto the valve assembly (labeled 2) by turning the handle base clockwise. It notes that end valves may be rotated to align the handle and stops before tightening nuts.
Step E2: Secure Handle
Illustration shows the handle (labeled 9) being snapped down onto an adapter (labeled 10) to secure it. It emphasizes ensuring the handle and end valves are appropriately aligned before pressing the handle down.
Additional Configurations (Pages 2 & 3)
Illustrations and instructions detail variations for installing end valves (labeled 2), support rings (labeled 3), and bushings (labeled 4) into the sink. Key points include ensuring the support ring gasket faces down, using silicone for uneven sinks, and correct orientation of the "Hot" label valve.
Note: For models with sliding lift rods, refer to Section 3.
Section 2: Spout Installation
Instructions and diagrams for installing the spout.
Step 1: Install Spout
Illustration shows installing the spout (labeled 1), gasket (labeled 2), and bushing (labeled 3). Bushings are recommended for holes larger than 1 3/8" for proper centering and sealing. The spout is secured with a washer and nut (labeled 4) using a provided wrench (labeled 5). If the sink is uneven, silicone should be used under the gasket.
Step 2: Install Spout with Base
Illustration shows installing the spout with base (labeled 1) and gasket (labeled 2). It is secured with a bracket using a wrench assembly (labeled 3). Silicone is recommended under the gasket for uneven sinks.
Section 3: Lift Rod Installation
Instructions for installing sliding lift rods.
Step 1: Thread Lift Rod
Illustration shows threading the lift rod (labeled 1) into the hole (labeled 2) from underneath the spout until finger tight. Caution is advised against cross-threading. After installation, the slide (labeled 3) should be checked for free movement.
Step 2: Install Spout and Connect Lift Rod
Illustration shows installing the spout (labeled 4), gasket (labeled 5), and bushing (labeled 6). Bushings are used for holes larger than 1 3/8". The spout is secured with a washer and nut (labeled 7) using a wrench (labeled 8). The lift rod is threaded through the mounting shank (labeled 2) and then connected to the spout assembly.
Section 4: Connector Tube Installation
Instructions for connecting tubes, including PEX tubing.
Step 1: Insert Spout and Outlet Tubes
Illustration shows inserting the spout tube (labeled 13) into the outlet connector (labeled 14) and bending outlet tubes (labeled 15) to insert into the outlet connector. Tubes should be inserted to the first line or until fully seated. The line should not be visible when properly inserted.
Notice: If outlet or spout tubes are too long, lines are provided at 3/4" intervals for cutting. Ensure cuts are straight and perpendicular to the tube axis for a leak-free joint. Delta is not responsible for improper cuts.
Potential Problems and Remedies
- Tubing not cut perpendicular: Make an additional careful cut.
- Tubing cut too short: Purchase a coupling union and replacement supply line.
- Tubing removal: Hold the white ring (labeled 4) down against the outlet connector body while pulling the tubing outward.
Step 2: Connect Y-Connector
Illustration shows inserting a fitting (labeled 1) into a Y-connector (labeled 2) and securing it with a clip (labeled 3). Outlet tubes (labeled 4) are then inserted into the outlet connector. Warnings about cutting PEX tubing and ensuring straight cuts are repeated.
Potential Problems and Remedies:
- Tubing not cut perpendicular: Make an additional careful cut.
- Tubing removal from Y-connector: Hold the white ring (labeled 5) down against the Y-connector body while pulling the tubing outward.
Section 5: Supply Line Connections
Instructions for connecting water supply lines.
A. Standard Connections
NOTICE: To avoid risk of property damage, follow instructions for proper installation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in risk of property damage caused by leaking. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on water line connections.
Ensure all fittings and end connections are free of debris. Faucet fittings (labeled 1) are 3/8" compression. Loop tubing (labeled 2) if it is too long. Note: Recommended tubing minimum bend diameter is 8". Secure metal nut (labeled 3) to supply valve connection (labeled 4). Turn nut until snug, then tighten at least 2 more turns with a wrench. Repeat for the other tube. Turn on water and examine for leaks.
B. Custom Fit Connections
NOTICE: If PEX supply tubing is too long, read instructions and plan ahead. Installer accepts responsibility for leak-free joints. DO NOT use a metal sleeve or gasket in place of the supplied plastic sleeve/ferrule. Do not use pipe dope or sealants.
For custom fit installations, use supplied plastic sleeves (ferrules) and nuts. Tube cuts must be straight. Slide nut (labeled 1) over plastic sleeve (labeled 3). Start nut by hand onto supply valve connection (labeled 2) to prevent cross-threading. Turn nut until snug, then tighten at least 2 more turns with a wrench. Repeat for other supply line. Turn on water and examine for leaks.
Potential Problems and Remedies
- Tubing not cut perpendicular: Make an additional careful cut.
- Tubing cut too short: Buy a coupling union and replacement supply line.
- Plastic sleeve/ferrule or connection nut lost: Purchase a replacement nut and/or plastic sleeve designed for PEX tubing.

Slide drain (labeled 3) through sink hole, press stopper (labeled 1) down into drain (labeled 3), rotate 90°, pull upwards. Insert seal (labeled 2) and secure with nut (labeled 2) from underneath. Do not turn drain (labeled 3) while tightening nut (labeled 2) to prevent sealant failure. Remove excess sealant.
Step C: Connect assembly to drain.
Section 8: Final Steps and Maintenance
Final Installation Steps (Page 12)
Remove aerator (labeled 1) using the supplied wrench (labeled 2). Turn faucet handles (labeled 3) to the full on mixed position. Turn on hot and cold water supplies (labeled 4) and flush water lines for one minute. This process flushes away any debris that could cause damage to internal parts.
Verify the seal is attached to the aerator, then reinstall it. The aerator wrench (labeled 2) can be clipped to the supply tube for future use.
Check all connections at the arrows for leaks and re-tighten if necessary.
The outlet connector (labeled 5) should be positioned to avoid interference with the lift rod strap and horizontal rod.
Maintenance
If faucet exhibits very low flow:
- Remove aerator (labeled 1) with supplied wrench (labeled 2) and clean it.
- For specific models (3567-MPU-DST & 3568LF-MPU): Unsnap clip (labeled 3) on Y-connector (labeled 4). Separate fitting (labeled 5) from Y-connector. Remove flow regulator (labeled 6) using an o-ring pick or similar tool. Clean and reinstall flow regulator. Ensure fitting is fully inserted onto Y-connector and clip is re-engaged.
If faucet leaks from under handle:
- Using a socket, ensure bonnet nut (labeled 8) is tight.
- If leak persists, shut off water supply valves. Replace valve assembly (labeled 7). Ensure bonnet nut (labeled 8) is tightened securely with a socket.
If faucet leaks from spout outlet:
- Shut off water supply valves. Replace valve assembly (labeled 7). Ensure bonnet nut (labeled 8) is tightened securely with a socket.
Note: Install valve assembly (labeled 7) correctly for proper handle rotation.
