Delta Other: Disposal and Flange Stopper - Kitchen

I am in Plumbing Sales and this is my experience and what I am seeing. If you have a baffle that is installed on top of the flange that you can remove this is preventing it to seal properly. If you remove the baffle it normally will seal. The baffles are provided with the garbage disposal company and it's not Delta's Fault.

Purchased 2 of these to match faucets. Neither one will hold water because the stopper was not properly sized. I can literally watch the water drain with the stopper in, if it doesn't just outright flip over.

I really love how this looks. But the rubber gasket is not tight enough to hold water. I swapped the rubber gasket from the stopper than came with the disposal and it works much better, so it is a design flaw. For the price, it should also include a rubber splash guard and a strainer.

We just finished building a brand new dream home and we went with Delta products for our kitchen due to their reputation of being high quality and reliable. We purchase all of our plumbing fixtures through Ferguson supply and they were helpful. I am extremely disappointed in this product. It holds water 1 out of 10 times we try to use the stopper. I contacted my Ferguson rep and requested a new stopper be shipped to us figuring it was a defect in this product. We received a new one and it leaks also. It is a poorly designed product and I am very disappointed. The only solution was I was able to find an aftermarket stopper at our local Menards store that had a larger rubber ring on it and I was able to swap it out on our Delta stopper so it still matches. That solved the problem. Nonetheless, I had to spend an extra $15 to get the product to work as it should. Reading the other reviews, this is not an isolated occurrence. The Delta engineers need to fix this as it is absolutely a design flaw.

Just had my kitchen redone and have been using it about 3 weeks. Haven't even used the sink much because i havent been home. Went to look at the sink today and the champagne bronze is coming off and the silver is showing underneath. I haven't used any harsh chemicals, not even ajax! I hope it doesn't happen to the faucet because that was not cheap.

We bought this to match faucet and had it installed by a professional plumber. A week later we noticed a leak and had the plumber back out. The problem was that when tightening screws on the disposal mounting ring, the circle clip that holds the ring in place would slip past the groove at the bottom of the flange. It just popped off. After the plumber left (to return another day), I realized we still had the flange that came with the Insinkerator and installed it with no problem (it had a slightly deeper groove for the circle clip/mounting ring). Maybe the tolerances are off, maybe the plumber bent the ring somehow when he initially installed, but disappointing. Love the faucet though.

I am very happy with Delta Customer support in trying to assist and send me a replacement stopper. But we tried 4 times and none of them held water! Flange is fine, stopper does not work. Period. Delta, do yourself a favor and redesign the stopper so it works. We ended up buying a competitive stopper which looks as good and holds water PERFECTLY

This is a total failure, it simply is too small for the drain hole, the rubber sealing ring is too small a diameter.

I had this installed by a plumber and it won't hold water. The stopper is too small and doesn't fit tight. I was sent a replacement and it's the same way. Too expensive to not work

Absurd that they don't provide compatibility information. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning. Lame. Does not fit my Waste King 3300. Finding out quickly Delta's documentation is 3rd grade level.
