Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice sprayer Easy to install. Works great.
Date published: 2026-07-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected Replaced older, more expensive Delta faucet where cartridge could not be changed due to stripped set screw. Was height limited by cabinet above sink. Wanted magnetic coupling but unavailable in faucet that fit. Surprisingly, this faucet recoils and mates easier than the one it replaces.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Beautiful faucet, worked well for first 2 years Beautiful faucet, worked well for a couple of years then began leaking (hard to shut off flow) due to cartridge (part # RP50587Y). Florida water is hard and hard on the cartridge. Delta is gracious enough to send replacement cartridges under warranty; otherwise, at $40 a pop for a new cartridge, I would not be able to afford to keep it. First cartridge lasted 2 years, the second lasted for almost 3 years. I miss the o-ring replacement type faucets. Rating would be lower but saved by the great warranty service.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Flawed design, now leaks I purchased at Home Depot about a year ago and although it is pretty solid, the design of the switch makes it difficult to fully close consistently. Now, over time, the faucet has started to leak. I never had this issue with my Moen faucet because their switch/valve made it easier to fully shut off. I was hoping this faucet would last longer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very disappointed I purchased this faucet and it worked well for a few months. Now the spray nozzle gets stuck in the faucet and nearly impossible to remove and insert as it should. I tried lubricants to help; however, to no avail.
Date published: 2023-11-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy install if you’re replacing a newer faucet It took my son and I a full day to install the faucet. I had a faucet that was about 15 years old, and it was leaking and in bad shape. I bought this faucet at Home Depot and brought it home just to find out the water lines were a different size. We had to make three trips back to Home Depot to find the right adaptor. If your faucet is over fifteen years old they changed the standard for faucets since then, but that was about the only problem we ran into a couple more hiccups because the directions were not that good. Other than that for the first day the water flow and sprayer worked great, compared to what I had it is a dream.

Q&A

can I attach a water filter to this model?

Asked by: Missus
Hello Missus, Thank you for your question! I am happy to help you! Our Delta 16953-SS-DST is a pullout faucet, We have not tested and do not recommend using an adapter or filter with the pullout or pulldown spray wands. Our concern would be leaking between modes with the back-pressure / neutral pressure caused by these add-on devices. Please contact us back for any further questions. Best Regards, Nicole

Asked by: Jimdandy
Hi Jimdandy, Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 16953-DST. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing with the noise. We are happy to help! It is likely caused by debris trapped in the faucet cartridge. I recommend flushing the faucet with the spray wand removed. Or the clip can be disconnected under the sink to flush into a bucket. If the noise remains after flushing, I recommend replacing the RP50587 cartridge. Please reach out for further assistance or with any additional questions!

What parts do I need to fix a leaking Grant kitchen faucet?

Asked by: BillS
Hi, BillS! Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing locating this information. We will be happy to assist you. The Delta Faucet GRANT™ Single Handle Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet In Chrome MODEL#: 16953-DST would need the Cartridge - DIAMOND™ Valve - 1H MODEL#: RP50587.

I bought a kitchen faucet 8/20/2020 (16953-SS-DST) Now the head part is leaking where you push the button to Spray or full volume. Have looked at the parts list from every vender and all say not available ??? Is there some place I can find that part ?

Asked by: Perry
Hi Perry, Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 16953-SS-DST. A replacement sprayer wand is available as RP70738SS. This was previously discontinued, but we have been making it again since June 2025. You can purchase Delta Faucet products from many local dealers and websites. If a dealer does not carry a specific item in stock, they should still be able to place an order for you. I recommend our store locator. https://www.deltafaucet.com/where-to-buy Please reach out for further assistance or with any additional questions! Best Regards, Bryan Digital Communications Specialist
