WELL MADE AND A GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE MONEY
THIS PRODUCT WAS WHAT WE NEEDED TO REPLACE A OLD TWO HANDLE UNIT. THE UNIT CAME WITH GOOD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND TOOK US ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES TO INSTALL. UNIT WORKS WELL, LOOKS GOOD AND IS A GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE COST.

Kitchen Faucet
I originally bought this faucet 3 years ago. However about a year and half ago I noticed it started turning green around the bottom of the faucet and handles. Then the faucet started leaking everywhere and it turned out the interior of the neck (down by the base of the faucet) had busted. LUCKILY, I kept my original receipt and bar code from the box and Home Depot was good enough to exchange it for me. It's a beautiful faucet and I'm hoping I just got a lemon the first time. I hope my new one lasts a long time.

Just The Faucet We Wanted
We were wanting a kitchen faucet with a higher head so we could place bigger items in the sink without banging into the faucet. This product is excellent in height and it has a more powerful water pressure and spray. It is exactly what we have been looking for and wanting. And the price was just right. We have received compliments on this faucet and we are very satisfied with it.

Excellent
Truly a great faucet. I replaced my old (19 yr. old) faucet initially with another brand and it was difficult to install and didn't work properly as it leaked underneath the cabinet. I took that faucet back and purchased the Delta faucet. It took all of 10 minutes to install -- no leaks, no problems whatsoever. It's a great faucet and I will be purchasing Delta-only products in the future.

Three words describe the product. Easy, Nice, Convenient.
The brand product is very nice, easy to install for the purpose of it, and the price is very convenient. Would recommend it always and in future will look for another home products of the same brand.

Great looking, a bit flimsy
We love the looks of the faucet. However upon turning on the water you get a disconcerning water hammer effect. I tried lowering the pressure with no help. We paid a good price for this and expected a bit better.

No water pressure
We just replaced a 40+ year old faucet with this one and have lost a significant amount of water pressure. It takes twice as long to wash dishes and twice as long to fill a kettle. The sprayer only trickles even when both hot and cold are on full.

Love the high-arch faucet and retro 2 handle look!
Had purchased one in 2014 and had problem with faucet not turning properly. Made another purchase (5/2016) of same faucet, different model#. So far so good. Have contacted Delta to address 'lifetime warranty' on previous purchase and received prompt response to rectify what may be just a problem with that one manufacture item.

This faucet is very good for the price
this product was easy to install, the quality of the product is
very high . the one thing that would make installation easier
would be to include cone washers for supplies.

Handles are a bit wobbly - neck has play
I replaced a Moen facet that was 12 years old and considerably more heavy duty. The first thing I noticed after installation was the wobble turning on and off the faucet handles. Also turning the neck from side to side has more wobble/play than I would like to have. The base seems pretty light duty but maybe everything is that way today. I have your products in a two sink vanity and a single control shower unit. These I am very pleased with and your service has been greatly appreciated.

A fine looking faucet which works perfectly
The faucet was easy to install (it was missing the cap on the 'cold' water faucet handle, but I called and the replacement is on the way). It has a classic look and adds to the appearence of the kitchen, and it works perfectly.

Cheaply made and flimsy
Very disappointed in the quality of this faucet. The handles never seem like they are tight enough, they are flimsy and always feel loose. I don't see this faucet lasting very long. Made with plastic seats. I bought the stainless/nickel finish which was $30 more than the chrome one.

Delta Faucet
This faucet would be so much better if it were a little bit higher to accommodate deep pots and pans, when I do to rinse the water splashes on the back splash. The water flow is less than what I would like. This faucet works fine, but the height is my main concern. I spent a pretty penny for a faucet that did not meet all expectations,

Faucet clunks when turned on.
We replaced the aerator and it didn't resolve the issue. Apparently, we have too much water pressure but that didn't happen with the previous faucet.

Like the product.
I am enjoying the faucet with spray. It is so easy to turn on with just a finger or even elbow. I love the high faucet to be able to get a pot under it.

Beware
Immediately had trouble with the aerator and the sprayer. Had to get new parts. The hot water handle keeps loosening and we have to tighten every so often. The whole unit feels flimsy. Moderately priced, but certainly not the cheapest. Would never have bought this if we had known. Very unhappy.

Delta stands by their warranty
My faucet was leaking and when I took the faucet apart to see where the leak was coming from, the spout broke. I called Delta and the customer service rep was AWESOME! She was VERY friendly and caring. She ordered me a new faucet and it was shipped the same day that I made the call. I recv'd the faucet the next day, just in time for Christmas Eve!

Love the product!
I love this faucet and it had been a long time coming! However, I was very disappointed to figure out that I had to pay a $20 price differential for the stainless steel finish vs. the chrome. Overall, extremely happy with it, found it easy to install and would definitely recommend!

I bought this faucet and my husband and I installed it with ease. And it does not leak! I like it much better than my old faucet. I did not have a sprayer on my old faucet and now I do not know how I lived without one.

Q&A
Can you tell me what the part number is and how to order a replacement screen at the tip of the faucet number 21988LF? Thanks
Thank you for your question, SB3317. The screen is included with the RP74130 Aerator Assembly.
Best regards, Jon

Handle screw/bolt part number for 21988LF faucet
My handle broke and I need the part number for the brass bolt with one end threaded and the other end splined with the chrome finish knob/end attached. I was able to get the threaded part out of the handle base so just need the bolt.
It looks like part RP26852 which is 3.05 inches long and mine is more like 2.5 inches, end to end. Thanks Tim
Hi Tim, Thank you for your question. The spindle and finial for the RP42995 handles on the model 21988LF faucet is not available as a separate item. The entire handle assembly would have to be replaced.
Thanks,
Dave

Can the faucet and handles be installed directly on the sink without the base?
Dear Pickle,
Thank you for you installation inquiry. The escutcheon/base plate of the Delta Foundations Kitchen 21988LF faucet is apart of the full faucet valve, it is not removable.
Best regards,
Tanya

I did not out the sprayer holder on.How do I remove the snap on connection to the water supply to put the sprayer hose through the holder?
Reach up at the very top of the connection and squeeze the two tabs together and gently pull down on the hose. They only move about .05" inward, but it will release.

How come I can't buy a replacement spout for this faucet?
I tried to mount a PUR water filter on it using the correct adapter, but no matter how much plumber's tape I put on or how tight I tried to make it, the connection always leaked. I decided to remove it and just use the sink normally, but I damaged the end of the spout removing the adapter. I like the faucet and don't want to have to buy an entirely new one just for the spout as the spout is really well designed for a quick disconnect. It appears that no one sells the spout separately and I'm not sure why. Can I get a replacement spout from you?
Thanks.
J
Hi JFW, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately the spout to the model 21988LF is not available as a replacement part. The entire faucet would have to be ordered.
Thanks,
Dave

Information left out
Why don't you print on your box that this is made out of plastic and not chrome? I was very upset when I found this out - after it had been installed.
Hi Treetracker, Thank you for your question. The model 21988LF is a metal faucet. The spout, handles, escutcheon base and valve body are metal. The side sprayer and mount are plastic components.
Thanks,
Dave

Thick deck extension?
Is there a thick deck extension for this faucet? I can find a lot of other Delta faucet deck extension but none for this model. Will a extension kit for another model work? I only need to extend the hot and cold connections a small amount.
Thank you for your inquiry, Tim! Delta does not manufacture a thick deck mounting kit for the Foundations Kitchen 21988LF faucet. This faucet requires a maximum deck thickness of 1 5/16" (33mm). Below, is the link for the technical specification sheet to show you the max deck thickness for the faucet.
