Works great for circa 2005 faucet handles
I have two sinks (4 faucet handles) that use this part. It is the correct part for my master BR sinks. My faucet handles look just like the pic from review "Delta stands behind their product". My question - in the pic from Tony's review there is a bolt in the background - I am missing this bolt for one of my faucets. It's got a collar to it so as to push/hold the RP24096 in place. What is the name and dimension of this bolt??

Old roman tub faucet
I have an old Roman Tub faucet and my AI on my smart phone say the handles are from Danco, However the Delta T2710 looks exactly like mine, It is dripping bad and looks like delta part RP24096 might repair it. However I am confused with the Danco call out? The lettering on the knobs matches the Danco sight? Does Delta use Danco parts or maybe the knobs were replaced previously.

Lots of help
I have an old roman tub faucet that was leaking from the hot water side. I had little or no info as to the faucet model no. or cartridge that I needed to repair the leak. I used the Delta email service and sent in two pictures of the faucet and within a day got a response with my faucet model number (since discontinued) and the type of cartridge I needed. My only issue with Delta is that they limit the problem description to 250 characters! I think 500 characters would allow a better description of the problem.

Delta stands behind their product
I only buy DELTA products for all my needs and I had a perfect example of their exceptional Customer's service.
I had a 15 to 20 years old Delta bathroom faucet that was leaking under the HW handle. I knew that Delta indicates that they have a ''Lifetime Limited Warranty that covers parts being free of defects in material and workmanship for the original owner/purchaser''.
I got in touch with them and they sent me the required replacement parts RP24096 - Stem Assembly and RP4993 - Seats and Springs under their promised lifetime warranty.
The leak is fixed and we have a ''new'' faucet.
Fantastic Customer's experience and Delta exceeded all my expectations. With quality products that deliver the expected performance and exceptional customer's service, I will remain a Delta customer for life.

Replacing a Leaking Tap Cartridge
I have a 2004 Delta Two Handle Bathroom Faucet Victorian Collection model #3555. Not be confused with the newer model 35955. The HW tap was leaking from under the bell of the handle when the CW tap was turned on.
I suspected I needed to change out the stem cartridge and seal/spring give the age of the faucet. So, I just did both as opposed to testing each separately.
Tracking down the parts was somewhat easy once I identified the faucet model, however, I did run into problems which I will get to in a second.
YOU NEED TO BE VERY SPECIFIC AS TO THE DELTA MODEL NUMBER AND YEAR. Even though the Victorian model looks exactly the same through the 2000’s, the replacement part numbers can be different. I found this out when I ordered what I thought to believe was the correct seat/spring #RP10700. When in fact, it was the RP4993.
For my faucet, 2004 #3555
STEM/CARTRIDGE: RP 24096 (this is mostly consistent across most of the #3555 years)
SEAT/SPRING: RP 4993 (this in NOT consistent across many of the #3555 and depends upon year)
I ordered from Amazon and Delta parts, not knockoffs.
RP 25513. This includes ONE Stem/Cartridge (RP24096) plus the ¼ turn stop (RP24097).
RP 8230. This includes ONE Stem/Cartridge (RP24096) plus the seat/spring (RP10700)
So, looking at all the costs, I ordered Qty 2 of the RP25513 plus Qty 1 of the RP10700 (2 seats & springs).
PROBLEM: When I changed everything out, the leaking stopped BUT the faucet started dripping when I turned on the HW supply valve. After “googling” the problem, the issue was likely the Seat/Spring. I had ordered the incorrect part RP10700 when in fact the RP4993 was needed.
Interesting enough, when I removed the original, the seat spring I pulled out looked to be the RP10700. When I checked the CW tap (which had no leaks), the seat/spring appeared to be the RP4993, so I took a chance and ordered it. Voila, it was the right part and both the leaking and dripping has stopped and I’m done!!

Fixing leaking faucet
My faucet started leaking after 15 years. Rather than replace the faucet, I ordered these replacement parts for $25 each.
Faucet works like new with no leaks.
Date published: 2022-08-16
Q&A
By replacing the part will stop leaking water. Right hand side each time we turn it on it leaks water. It goes to 3567 series
Stem unit assembly Cartridge RP24096 should work on the hot or cold. I can got it to work on the hot but not the cold. Can u pls provide detailed instructions as to what the difference is. I tried numerous combinations, but cant get it to work properly
Hello, Rich819.
Thank you for your question. I apologize that you are having difficulty with the part. I am happy to help. The orientation is key on how the handle will turn. On the top of the stem, you will see a white plastic piece. This is called the stop. Make sure the stop is oriented to the right on both the hot and cold side. Then you have the removable 1/4 turn stop. For the cold side you want that placed to the back of the permanent stop. Please contact us directly if you have any further questions.
Best Regards, James

I have old 2 handle tub faucet that uses RP24096 cartridges. There are white plastic extensions (2 or 3" long) to each of the cartridges, doesDelta still sell those? Also, the chrome extension pipes that these sit in? (screws into the piping behind wall.)

is rp24096 the same as rp25513?
RP25513 stem assembly consists of two parts - RP24094 stem cartridge and RP24097 plastic 1/4 turn stop.
If you use only RP24094, the handle of your faucet will turn 180 degrees from full stop to full on.
On the other hand if you use RP25513, the handle will turn 90 degrees from full stop to full on.
Date published: 2024-03-28
Is RP25513 same as this?
Hello!
Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company!
Yes, our RP25513 and RP24096 is the same stem unit, however, the difference is that the RP25513 includes a 1/4" turn stop for two-handle lavatory faucets.

is this part for a left side hot water facet or right side cold water
Hi Dave,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet RP24096.
This is used for both hot and cold. For lever handle faucets, both stops should point toward the right. For knob handle faucets, both stops point toward the spout for clockwise closing.

Can the I change the orientation of the bottom of rp24096? My problem is even though I rotate the cartridge 180*, the hot and cold handles always face the spout when water is turned off and faces away from the spout when turned on.
Hi Valued Customer,
Thank you for your question. Yes, the Delta Stem Assembly RP24096 is designed to be installed on both the hot and cold water sides. Below is a step by step walk thru on how to install each stem unit and 1/4 turn stop
Hot side ~ The stem unit will go into the valve with the raised white portion of the stem toward the spout. When you install the stem into the valve, you should notice 2 notches in the brass valve body. The stem unit will have a piece in each side that will fit into the notches. These notches should be facing the 3 and 9 o'clock position, if you imagine a clock face.
With the stem installed in the valve, you will need to insert the 1/4 turn stop into the slot in the front of the stem unit. Now you will want to tighten down the bonnet nut that screws onto the valve body. Once the nut is hand tight, you might need to reposition the brass arm that is straight up and down on the stem unit. The flat part of this arm should be facing away from the spout. So it should be in the 9 o'clock position. You can rotate this arm by grabbing a hold of it and just twisting it. Once you have it in the 9 o'clock position, you should be able to reinstall the handle and tighten the setscrew. Now when you turn the handle, it should turn toward you.
Cold side ~ The stem unit will go into the valve with the raised white part away from the spout. So if you image a clock, the white piece of the stem will be facing the 3 o'clock position. Again, the stem should fit into the two notches at the 3 and 9 o'clock position. The 1/4 turn stop will actually be installed the the back side of the stem. Once that is installed, you can tighten the bonnet nut over the valve and screw it down just hand tight. Grab a hold of the brass arm and twist it until the flat part is facing away from the spout. Again, it will be in the 3 o'clock position just like the white part of the stem. Once that is facing the correct direction, you should be able to install the handle and turn it toward you.

I need directions on how to remove the cartridge bonnet. I was able to remove the screw and lift the handle out but I can’t seem to get to the bonnet off. Does this screw on or what. It is come shaped so can’t get a grip on it. Part RP24096
Hi Nick,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet RP24096.
The bonnet nut should unscrew counterclockwise. We recommend using a wrench and soaking the area with 50/50 white vinegar and water to help remove mineral deposits that can make it difficult to remove.

We ordered replacements for rp24096 and rp4993, and received part rp44216. It fit but restricts the water flow and extends the handle turn to a full turn rather than the original 1/4 turn. Is there any adjustment I can make?
Hi Beth,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet RP24096 stem unit assembly. I am sorry this information was not readily available, and I am happy to help!
The RP24096 stem uses RP4993 seats and springs. This stem can be replaced with the RP42216 ceramic stem unit and RP10700 ceramic seats and springs.
To stop the handles at 1/4 turn, the original stops included with the faucet can be reused, or replacement 1/4 turn stops are available as part number RP24097.
Please contact us directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you!
