Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Looking Faucet To be honest, I have not installed this yet. It is going in a seasonal condo and won't be installed until later in April. But from the looks of it, it looks great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not so great Well it isn't sturdy like Delta use to be years ago. I bought a kitchen faucet, chrome. I have to turn the cold water almost halfway before the water comes out. The handles are not firmly designed, more flimsy; they move some if you grab one and try to rock it. Oh, and it is the LOUDEST faucet I have ever used. I guess it's a sign of the times, things build NOT to last.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It's ok Good - it's a sleek design - Bad - Delta does not have an attachable spigot so the flow can switch from stream to spray. There is another model that has a separate sprayer - but, this model should have it available from Delta. Instead have to buy from Amazon.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Faulty Cartridge’s Both faucet cartridges broke down after 2 months. In the off position, water continues to flow.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from It drips a few times after you turn the water off and the handles and the faucet move. The reason why I changed my old 43 years old Delta faucet to this one is because the old one started dripping and leaking. I love the old faucet. This new one is really nothing to rave about and I’m sorry I bought it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Kitchen faucet is great-but always fixing the leak We remodeled our kitchen about 8 years ago and updated everything. I love the look and smooth movement in this faucet, but I don't like that I have had to replace the seats/springs and stem in both handles a couple of times. Products just don't last as they did for our parents. Mom has the same faucet she had 40 years ago and it never leaks.

Is there a thick deck mounting adapter kit for this faucet?

Asked by: AAWISAT
Thank you for your question, AAWISAT! The Delta Foundations Kitchen 21987LF-SS faucet works with a maximum deck thickness of 1 5/16". Unfortunately, we do not have an extension kit for this faucet. A widespread DST faucet such as the model 2480-AR-DST or 2256-SS-DST will have a maximum deck thickness of 2 1/2". Best regards, Tanya

I have a Delta Model # 21987lf or 21988lf. and it drips from the faucet. Put new washers on the spout. Still Leaks How do I take the handles and stem units off to install new washers? Thank You for your help.

Asked by: bhorn
Thank you for your question, bhorn! This model has two concealed Phillips head screws located underneath the button covers of the handles. With the water shut off supplies completely turned off, you will then remove the handles, unscrew the bonnet nuts and pull the stem unit assemblies straight out. With and Allen wrench or small tool, remove the seats and springs, taking note of the way the larger end of the spring sits inside the valve body. Replace these with the new parts and screw the bonnet nuts back on before turning on the water supplies to test that the leak has been resolved. Please contact us directly if you have questions or need assistance. https://media.deltafaucet.com/PartsDiagram/DPD-K-21987LF_A.pdf Best regards, Edward

what exactly is Brilliance® Stainless/dishwasher adaptor help

I plan to use this with a port. dishwasher that uses a 55/64 adapter, i know i need an additional delta adapter which i found online. would you recommend using this faucet with a dishwasher once its adapted? for the term Brilliance® Stainless, i want to know the components of it.. is it SS with a coating over it?
Asked by: stargirl83
Hi Stargirl83, Thank you for your questions! Brilliance® finishes, designed to not corrode, tarnish or discolor for a “like-new” look for life, are developed by embedding molecules deep into the faucet’s surface, creating a bond that is virtually indestructible. This process is known as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). Delta was the first manufacturer to offer this patented process that creates a bond that's virtually indestructible with an incredibly reflective shine. Brilliance resists abrasions and discoloration better than traditional special finishes and, in many cases, better than chrome. In independent tests using the harshest drain cleaners, the Delta Brilliance drain retained its appearance, while its competitors did not come close. Tested with over 100 household cleaners, the abrasion resistance of the Brilliance finish can even withstand repeated scouring with steel wool. A Brilliance finish is guaranteed not to corrode, tarnish or discolor for as long as you own your home. It can even withstand prolonged exposure to harsh coastal environments. Also, we do manufacture an adapter RP51505 that converts 21.5X 1-6 g metric thread to 55/64”-27 standard thread or vice versa. The aerator RP74130 that comes with your faucet has a thread size of 55/64-27". Best regards, Brandis

Very interested in this faucet, but I need one that will allow me to install an adapter for a portable dishwasher (WDP340PAFW) would this be compatible? 

Asked by: Moniloco
Hi, Moniloco! Thank you for your question. A portable dishwasher can be installed on the Delta 21987LF-SS Faucet. The thread size for the RP74130SS aerator for the faucet is 55/64-27. We recommend checking with the portable dishwasher manufacturer for a compatible adapter assembly. Best Regards, Rosanna

Is there a male to female adapter for this faucet, to allow the addition of an aftermarket spray aerator to the faucet end? The faucet end is male with a 3/4" diameter, which is not a normal width for most hardware stores.

Asked by: John
Thank you for your question, John! The thread size for the RP74130SS aerator is 55/64-27. We only manufacture one adapter, part number RP51505 that converts 21.5X 1-6 g metric thread to 55/64”-27 standard thread or vice versa. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP51505 Best regards, Edward
