Original Delta part is best
For a modest expense, the faucet works like new.
Also, it's great to have these parts available. I had earlier used an equivalent part from another manufacturer. It seemed better in some ways at first, but then the stem go a bit wiggly, making it difficult to shut off the water completely. Now with a genuine Delta part, it is working much better.

Fair Replacement
Installation was easy. The dripping stopped. However, now the faucet handle has to be positioned slightly off center to shut off the flow.

Q&A
I have a Delta single plastic handle shower faucet with a rp212 ball. Want to change to a Delta chrome single handle with a rp70 ball. Will this be possible?
Hello,
Thank you for your question!
Yes, you will simply need the RP70 ball to install the lever handle.
Please reach out with further questions!

My delta shower single handle faucet is dripping, what causes this?
Not sure of model # but has a part # 70 ball stem
I was able to use the original ball. In the rebuild kit, AT FIRST I tried the short springs, and Short washers.
This Is What happened to me, drip drip drip.
SO
I used the short springs from the kit. And the TALL WASHERS. !
Problem solved, it has been 2 weeks and NO leaks.

Should I lubricate this assembly?
Should I lubricate this before assembly? What kind of lubricant? This is for replacement in a 172-WF "Classic Single Handle Kitchen Faucet with Spray" Thank you.
Thank you for your question. It is not necessary to lubricate the RP70 before installing it into your Delta Faucet model # 172-WF.

I notice that my original RP70 ball has 4 round holes but the "#70 style" ball at the hardware store has only 3.
The 4th hole in the RP70 doesn't seem to line up with anything in the faucet. Any problem with the hardware store ball - besides not being genuine Delta?
Hi Cliffn,
Thank you for your question. We cannot recommend using any other parts in our faucets beside genuine Delta Faucet parts. It does void the warranty if you use other manufacture's parts.
Thanks.

Replacement acrylic knob
I have a shower with this ball assembly, but the knob broke and I need a replacement. The knob is pushed down to turn off, up to turn on and left/right for hot/cold. Where can I replace it...or if it's not available, what do I need to do?
Hi Colleen,
Thank you for your question. Based on your description you have a 600 series model, which would take the RP17451 knob handle. The knob handle will fit onto an RP212 ball assembly.

Are there replacement lever handles for the RP70 ball assembly style shower valve?
If so, can you tell me a replacement part number that would work?
Hi Absco, Thank you for your feedback!
The 600 series you described has been discontinued. Currently we carry just the RP17443 lever for the 600 series.
Best regards,
Brandis
