Beware plastic in handle
Loved this workhorse of a faucet. Still do.
Alas there's a tiny PLASTIC adapter inside handle that can crack /disintegrate and render whole handle useless. It's not on parts diagram here but it is at vital point where handle connects to cartridge to turn water on/off. Careful! Don't twist the handle trying to stop the drip from the too often leaking cartridges or you'll end up w useless faucet as I have.
I've looked everywhere for this tiny part to replace or figure a widget --with no luck. Pity so much plastic in such a hard-used hardware for kitchen.

Mixing chamber is plastic
Mixing chamber is plastic and will crack if temp gets below freezing. With valves turned off and main water supple turned off. Because water remains in the mixing chamber after you turn off valves. Delta doesn't replace any parts because of freezes.

Perfect for my needs
This faucet replaced a similar one from another company. I actually like the design of the Delta handles better. Still allows me to put my water filter on the faucet head. That was a key in my decision to go with this faucet.

Replacement
I bought this same faucet a few years ago but did not register it for the limited lifetime warrannty. Well, lo and behold the faucet(it had the sprayer attachment) got all corroded by our hard water and the diverter would not go back to the hot water tap. So, since it was a pretty easy install I bought same faucet but this time without the sprayer attachment. Now probably in a few years with our hard water it will be junk again. Basically, I purchased this item because of familiarity.

It’s really great!
When my dad’s caregivers, my dad, and myself starting using it, it was clear that it was going to be easier to use. Filling the mop bucket, the pot for boiling water, and even filling his water glass; Dad is really pleased.

Stylish look.
Needed to replace an old leaky faucet. The tall curved neck allows easy washing of larger pots and pans. The one drawback is the long neck drips the remaining water for a few seconds once the shut off is closed.

Clean looking faucet with easy installation
I needed to replace our kitchen faucet and wanted something that not only looked nice but would be easy to install. This was perfect. My hubby always did the home repairs but once he became paralyzed those projects became mine. This was simple and quick. Still needed him to visually make sure it was setting even on the sink. Overall the installation was quick and fairly painless !

Nice quality and appearance. Easy to install.
I got lucky that there were two holes in the counter so faucet fit perfectly. My wife and adult daughter really like it.

Much stronger.
This has been three Delta Faucets I have purchased so far. 21987LF has a more sturdier spout base. Earlier model was weak and problematic. Faucet looks and works much better.

Installed about 2 weeks ago. Easy installation. Works well. Drips for a short period after turning water off. Probably due to the high faucet spout.

Super faucet !
I had a leaking faucet and the plumber said that I had to get one myself or pay a super high price . Went to Home Depot and was amazed at all the brands and faucets . the plumber told me to get one with a lifetime warranty . I spent about a half hour trying to decide and settled on this one . Was nervous at first but after I installed it in fifteen minutes , I was glad I choose this faucet .

Q&A
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.
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.

How can I attach a faucet mounted PUR water filter system to my Delta faucet?
what do I need to attach a water filter to my Delta #21987 kitchen faucet...and is it a part that is readily available or does it need to be special ordered? Thanks for your help.
Thank you for your question. We do not make an adapter for the faucet to attach a water filter. We recommned contacting the PUR filter company to see what they recommend.

What metals is this faucet made out of?
Dear Aj,
Thank you for your question. Our Delta faucets use either metal and plastic combination or a proprietary mixture of components so that the product has a high quality, while maintaining safety control with the various temperatures of water that go through the product.
Delta Faucet Company takes extreme pride in the quality of its products, and strives daily to meet and exceed the expectations of our customers.
Best regards,
