I accept a xxx yo delta single handle kitchen sink sprayer and have just done a routine parts replacement for a dripping spout. I am curious if the diverter valve for the sprayer, not role of the kit, is the same part for delta single handle kitchen sink sprayer regardless of the age of the faucet. I don't want to disassemble and take the function to a supply store unless I have no choice. I am as well curious most the fact that my spout still flows when the spray handle is pressed, so that to use the sprayer the faucet has to be turned upward pretty high. This has always been this fashion, not only recently, and I thought it was normal, but a plumber said no. Anyone know if older faucets didn't shut off the spout like the newer ones do, or have I always needed a diverter replacement?

The working diverter ALWAYS turns, and turned, off the flow from the spout. That is its but purpose, and so if information technology does not function, the water volition period from the sprayer and the spout. Your faucet has the but diverter Delta e'er used, at least when yours was made.

Thank you. That's helpful, and I accept a diverter valve in hand to replace. Would you listen telling me if you believe the malfunctioning valve would crusade the NEW sprayer head to drip afterwards it has been used and turned off? Likewise, if I unscrew the new sprayer head, water then drips from the spout, even though there is no spout drip with normal faucet usage since I replaced the springs, seats, gaskets, etc with a full rebuild kit. It'due south as if a bad diverter valve allows various backwards pressure to create drips?

The diverter is just "closed" when you are using the sprayer. Other times information technology is completely open and h2o could flow either way, but NOT build upwardly a "back force per unit area". But if you accept a "soft hose" the faucet pressure to the sprayer could "expand" information technology so the extra water WOULD flow back to the faucet when information technology was turned off.
