Delta Other Spray and Hose Assembly with Spray Support

I rebuilt our 1987 acrylic knob Series 600 shower valve using the RP54870 Conversion Kit (in Chrome finish). As per "Chris H" review, I had also bought an RP77739A kit "just in case", as we had the diamond-shaped stem that he mentions. However, I found we did not need the additional kit to complete our repair as the ball included in the RP54870 Kit worked just fine for our application. A note of caution - many people have posted online about how they broke the shower valve body when attempting to remove the old Cap Assembly (5) because it was stuck. Apparently it's not difficult to twist and break or distort some hidden tubes which are part of the valve body inside the wall. I was fortunately able to unscrew our Cap Assembly quite easily. In fact, I checked it by giving it a quarter turn before ordering new parts. Once the parts arrived, I shut off the water supply and carefully disassembled everything. After disassembly, I wiped down and inspected the metal valve body, including two (stainless steel?) sleeves in the body which house the Seats and Springs (10). I checked for burrs, scratches, deposits, corrosion, or foreign matter. I removed some minor mineral deposits on the exterior threads by wiping them with a cloth. I applied plumber's grease to all new rubber parts, including the Seats and Springs (10). I carefully inspected them after installing to make sure they were fully inserted into the sleeves before attempting the next step. I fit the included Conversion Ball (8) with the 4 Holes (Up) and the Large Single Hole (Down), just as the instructions illustrate. When installing the new Cam and Lip seal (9) over the Conversion Ball, I found that the dark gray plastic seal housing had to be oriented properly to match a raised rib on the plastic with a slot on the right side of the metal valve body's threaded section. Following reassembly, the refurbished valve works very well. It operates smoothly and allows us to select a broad range of temperatures. Hopefully we can enjoy good service for a few more decades now.

Not the clear rubber tube shown in pics. comes with black braided type upgraded hose. I was pleased to find this new hose is much better at moving around my double sink area, without thinking how any bending my Crack the cheap hose my faucet originally came with.

All I can say is this the original equipment sprayer that goes with the faucet

Had plumber install. So far sogood

Faucet is less than 10 years old, second time needing to replace the sprayer...and whoever thought up this "quick-connect" design may have a degree in some sort of engineering, but most assuredly was baptized in the shallow end of the common-sense pool. If I'm only going to get mediocre quality, might as well spend mediocre dollars.

i purchased this because delta used to make quality products. installed faucet about 6 months ago. now whenever faucet is turned on it thumps and side sprayer leaks through head.. poor quality sprayer ruins a faucet. just look at all these reviews ! at what point do you admit you have a serious problem with your product?

Our faucet is probably about a year old and already this pile of junk started leaking, and NOBODY has it in stock because it's been discontinued. My ONLY choice is to replace the faucet with something that doesn't suck. NO MORE DELTA. Warranty is ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS if we can't use the sink for days on end.

I bought this product and others because of the Delta Name. However, after only a year the sprayer is leaking at the nozzle when the water is turned on running underneath my counter. It went unnoticed for quite sometime and damaged the cabinet. I contacted Delta and they replaced the unit without issue.

The faucet is maybe a year old. The sprayer leaks when the water is running (of course since it drips under the counter, you get a big mess before you see it). I can't use a generic sprayer because of the connector. Now I see it's $60 and everyone has the same issue. $60 for a sprayer, I'll buy a new faucet and it's not going to be Delta

Worked great. The valve is 42 years old when the house was built. Good life service I would say. The kit was easy to install. The bonet was hard to get off. Tried heat from a torch but ended up cutting a groove carefully with a dremel then splitting the bonet with a screw driver as if you twist it with a wrench you will damage the valve assembly if it is tight. Found a plug for the diverter and installed a spout wit diverter in it.
