My kitchen faucet didn't drip it ran at a constant trickle. If I turned the hot water handle off further than it normally rests at the leak would stop. I tried taking the handle apart to see if anything needed replacing. When I put it back together I did something wrong because turning the handle does nothing to control the flow of water now. I don't know what I did wrong and I can't find a diagram of my type of faucet, it has a spring at the bottom instead of a screw like all the diagrams I've seen of handles like mine. If anyone can tell me how to put it back together or point me in the direction of a diagram that will help I'd appreciate it.

Brand of faucet would help if known.

One is for single handle, the other for 2 handle.


One of those should help you, call Delta directly and they will give you warranty parts and technical support at no charge.
