Single Handle Bathroom Faucet in Venetian Bronze

Hi Angie, Thank you for your question. The base of the model 553LF-SS faucet measures 1-7/8". The recommended hole size is from 1-5/16" to 1-1/2". Here is a link to the spec sheet for the model 553LF-SS that shows these and other important dimensions. http://www.deltafaucet.com/customersupport/documentation/553lf-ss.html?document=ts&fromDetailArea=bath&documentIndex=0#flashWrapper Thanks, Dave

HI Margo, Thank you for your question. Turning down the water supplies under the counter will reduce the flow to the model 553LF faucet. You could also replace the 1.5 gallon per minute flow regulator in the faucet to one with a lower flow rate. We offer a 1.0 gpm RP73838 and a 0.5 gpm RP78837 flow regulator. The regulator is located under the valve cartridge in the faucet. Our model 72172 push pop-up less overflow, or the 72173 push pop-up with overflow is the style of drain assembly with the large mushroom push top with no brand information stamped on the cover. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 553LF has a flow rate of 1.5 gpm at 60 psi. This is the highest flow rate of this faucet model.

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model 553LF has a metal push-pop assembly that does have overflow holes included in the box. If you need to purchase it separately, the model number is 33W576.

Thank you for your question. Model #553LF currently has the option to purchase the RP63970 (6" escutcheon) seperately.

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet makes pop-up assemblies with a flange to meet industry standard measurements of 2.11 inches.

Hello Andy4567, Thank you for your question. The Delta Vero Lavatory 553LF faucet must be installed with the handle on the right. The handle pulls out, away from the body to turn on and give cold water. Pull the handle towards you to get hot water. Best regards, Tanya

Hi, Frank! Thank you for your question. To remove the stream straightener in the Delta 553LF-SS Faucet, simply pull the stream straightener straight down and out with needle nose pliers. Best Regards, Rosanna

Dear AmandaM, Thank you for your question. We do recommend applying a bead of silicone to the underside of flange of the drain assembly, for installation. This help creates a tight seal to the sink hole. Best regard, Tanya

Thank you for your question, Bobs! I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing splashing from your Delta 553LF faucet. We do not recommend removing the stream straightener as this part is not designed to be easily removed. Instead, you can soak a rag in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water and apply around the spout for an hour or even overnight to help break up any debris that maybe causing the splashing issue. We would also recommend either using a low gallons per minute flow regulator such as part number RP73838 or simply turning the supply lines down halfway or until the splashing stops. https://media.deltafaucet.com/PartsDiagram/DPD-L-553LF_A.pdf Best Regards, Rosanna

Hi, SC77! Thank you for your question. We do not have any recommendations for smudge resistant products. Here is a link to the cleaning and care information for our faucets: https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/showering/showerdoors101/care--cleaning Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your question, Maz. The faucet must be installed with the handle on the right. Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 553LF may have a splash effect depending on the size and shape of your sink. The easiest way to combat this is to turn down the force of water coming out of your faucet.

Hi, Sydney! Thank you for your question. The Delta 553LF faucet handle pulls out, away from the body to turn on and give cold water. Pull the handle towards you to get hot water. The flow restrictor in the faucet is non-removable. The stopper for the drain assembly is a push pop up. Best Regards, Rosanna

Grit, Thank you for your question. The faucet could be installed with a 5.5" vessel sink. However, the spout will drop below the rim of the bowl at 5 1/4" above the deck surface. The vessel version of this faucet is model 753LF. The end of the spout on this model is 9 9/32" above the deck. Please refer to the Technical Specifications linked below. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-L-553LF%20Rev%20E.pdf Best regards, Jon

Hello Valued Customer, Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company! It is possible this issue can be resolved by cleaning the product. We recommend you try soaking the product in a 50/50 solution of water and white distilled vinegar. This could break up any possible calcium buildup inside. If the faucet exhibits very low flow: SHUT OFF WATER SUPPLIES. Remove the handle, trim cap, bonnet nut, and valve. Remove the adapter using long nose pliers. Remove the flow regulator using an O-ring pick or similar tool. Clean any debris from inside surface of flow regulator. When reinstalling parts, ensure bonnet nut is tightened securely with wrench. Failure to securely tighten bonnet nut with wrench could result in water damage. Please reach out with further questions! Best Regards, Kelley Digital Communications Specialist
