Perfect replacement
I read the information on my faucet and the leaking and it told me to order two parts which I found on your website. They fit perfectly and fixed the problem without the plumber.

Parts for Delta Faucet
This plus the RP4993 seals fixed the leaking problem. Seals from the local big box home improvement store did not. Evidently it pays to get actual parts from the manufacturer.

Great part
Through no fault of Delta, the hard water here was stuck to the old ball assembly & also tore up the original valve seats

Didn't help
Leaky faucet, changed the RP70 ball and the RP4993 springs/seats, and it still leaks just as bad. There's nothing else to change!!

Wrong Item!
This was the second of two attempts to find a replacement part for a Delta faucet, specifically the ball assembly. Unfortunately the Delta folks have modified their parts on the Delta faucet but haven't changed the number of the faucet. The 2005 version of the faucet I purchased is not the same interior parts of the current model. It would have been so much easier for Delta to change the number of the faucet - even with some added letters after the 203 or whatever. So I gave up!

Is there more than one type of ball used in Delta single handle kitchen faucets? I have 400 with sprayer, installed in 1990's. Most recently put in kit with #70 ball, now won't quite shut off all the way. Old ball had extra hole not in #70.
Hello Dennis,
Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, the ball assembly RP70 was the only ball manufactured for our older Delta single handle kitchen faucets. If your faucet is leaking, you would need to replace the RP4993 seats/springs.

I have a model 476 waterfall pull out kitchen faucet that is leaking under the handle as well as dripping. It is about 10 years old.
Would replacing the ball assembly fix both problems?
Hi Don, Thank you for your question. You should not have to replace the ball assembly, only make sure that it is clean and free from debris. The parts you will want to replace are the RP61 cam assermbly to stop the leak under the handle and the RP4993 seats and springs to stop the dripping.
Thanks,
Dave

I have a single handle kitchen faucet model A112 18 1M. Please advise as to which ball assembly is required for repair. RP70, RP212, or something else? Many thanks.
Hi, Richard!
Thank you for your question. If your kitchen faucet has a metal lever handle, you will want to use an RP70 ball assembly. If your faucet has a plastic knob (ball-type) handle, we recommend to use RP212 ball assembly.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

will this come in a kit with the washers, or do you have to order them separate
Thank you for your question, Chris! The RP70 Ball Assembly is not included in a kit as it typically does not need replaced. The RP4993 seats and springs as well as the cam and packing/o-rings can be ordered together in the RP3614 repair kit.

I have a Delta shower faucet which came with the house ( built in 1991-92). (Apparently Delta series 600). It does not control the water temp very well. What needs to be replaced to get it working normally. ? Is there a cartridge or ?, Part # ?
Hi Gopal,
Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta 600 series faucets are not designed with cartridge assembly, it has a ball assembly. The internal parts are seats and springs, ball assembly and cam and packing. None of these parts controls the temperature.

Tanya

Entire cartridge or just the ball valve?
The instructions that came with the Cicero kitchen faucet (Model 468-SD-DST) indicate that to fix a leak from the faucet I need to replace the valve cartridge (part # 3 in the diagram). This site says to replace only the ball valve. Which is correct?
Hi pamelalaroche,
Thank you for your question! The 468-SD-DST (manufactured after September 2008) will take the RP50587 cartridge assembly.
http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/rp50587.html
The 468-SD (non-DST) uses an RP70 ball. However, the RP4993 seats and springs and the RP61 cam assembly will resolve most leaks.

I have a Saxony Single Handle Pull-out Kitchen Faucet w/soap dispenser Model 473-RBSD.
The handle comes completely off from the ball assembly, was it made that way or is it broken. The faucet also leaks water onto the counter top and drips quite a bit. I read another users answer concerning the leaking and drips, but I want to know if the handle should come completely off the faucet??
Hi Connie, Thank you for your question. The handle on the 473-RBSD is held on by a set screw that should meet the flat portion on the stem of the ball ssembly. When installed correctly the handle should not be coming off. Replacing the RP4993 seats and springs and the RP32520 o-rings on your faucet should help stop the leaks on your faucet. Here is a link to the parts diagram for your model to help with the repair.

After replacing springs and seals noticed handle had to be moved to a "sweet spot" to shut water off. Question, could I have installed ball 180 degrees out causing problem?
Hi matt60! Thank you for your question. The rp70 Delta ball assembly should only fit into the valve body of the faucet one way. There is a pin in the valve body of the faucet that lines up with a hole on the rp70 ball.
Thanks, Antoine

I have model 467 Palo kitchen faucet. I have removed the set screw to the handle, but cannot remove the lever. What do I do next?
I watched the video, and it seems the handle should come right off, but it does not. Is there some other step I need to take?
Hi Bob,
Thank you for your question. It is possilbe that you have mineral deposits built up underneath your faucet handle. We recommend soaking a towel in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and cold water. Then wrap the towel around the handle and soak overnight to allow the mixture to loosen the deposits. You should be able to lift the handle off after removing the set screw.
Thanks.

what position does the ball assembly go in when placed over teh valves? there are two small holes, one bigger one, and one slit off to the side.
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP70 does have a slit in the side of it that will match up to a line sticking out into the valve. The slit will slide down the line to be put in the correct position for operation.

Can installing a new ball assembly cure a dripping faucet?
Hello!
No, any faucet that utilizes a ball assembly will need to have the RP4993 seats and springs replaced to stop a dripping when off issue.

How many holes does this ball have? Anyone have a picture from the top of the ball? You'd think this information and picture would be easy to find but you'd be wrong! I have no idea about this faucet because it came already installed on a sink.
Hi, Uncommonsensesc!
Thank you for your question. The Delta RP70 Ball Assembly has 4 holes and a small slot.

I have the single handle shower faucet with ball control. Can I change this system to the one that use cartrige?
Hi Pam, Thank you for your question!
By your description it sounds like you have a 600 series. We only manufacture a renovation kit RP54870 for your unit. The kit come in Chrome, Brilliance Stainless Steel or Venetian Bronze. There is no cartridge or cartridge trim kit that would fit into your valve body. You would have to replace the valve and plumbing in your wall to switch.

WILL THE RP70 AND RP4993 WORK IN A 1970,s SINGLE LEVER SHOWER CONTROL. THE LEVER MOVES LEFT RIGHT, UP DOWN.
Hi E1012, Thank you for your question. The RP70 ball assembly and RP4993 seats and springs should work in an older 600 series lever handle tub/shower faucet. If the faucet has the acrylic knob handle you will want to use the RP212 ball assembly instead of the RP70.
Thanks,
Dave

What is the significance, if any, of the "D" on the "RP70 D" ball assembly retail packages? Are the balls labeled "D" structurally or functionally any different from the RP70 balls sold by Delta over many, many years? Thank you!
Hello!
The "D" designation simply stands for Delta when certain products are sold in stores. There is no difference between these.
Please reach out with further questions!

Is the PR70 Ball Assembly an acceptable replacement for the RP12301 Vacuum Breaker Ball Assembly on a pull out faucet?
Our Delta 476 Waterfall Single Handle Kitchen Pull Out Faucet is suddenly leaking badly from under the lever. Upon investigating it appears water is coming out the small holes on either side of the ball assembly stem. I am not able to locate the exact ball assembly locally. Will the PR70 Ball assembly function as an acceptable replacement part to the RP12301 Vacuum Breaker Ball Assembly?
Hi John, Thank you for your question. The RP12301 can be replaced by the RP70 ball assembly.
Thanks,
Dave

Hello, I have question about delta tub faucets
We here at the hotel have delta 600 series tub faucets I believe installed around 1990. They have a acrylic crystal ball. If i want to the change from acrylic handle to a single metal lever handle(RP2393), Would I be able to use the RP70 Ball for the metal lever RP2393 ? The RP70 ball fits in the metal lever. The original ball that is in the acrylic crystal handle has a different type of ball. Can I try using the RP70 ball with the Single Metal lever RP2393 in my current faucet? The conversion ball is very expensive to put in 70 rooms, so I wanted to see if there was a way around this by using RP70 ball.
Hi David, Thank you for your question. You cannot transition from the acrylic knob handle to the lever handle on a 600 series faucet by using the RP70 ball assembly. The RP20111 conversion ball would have to be used.
Thanks,
Dave

how to replace rp70 ball
Hi bobc,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet RP70.
The specifics may change if this is used in a sink faucet or shower. Generally, turn off the water supplies and remove the handle. Next, unscrew the cap and remove the cam assembly. The ball can then be removed. Check the condition of the RP4993 seats and springs below the valve as they may wear over time. Install the new valve, with the tab on the faucet fitting into the slot on the ball.
Please contact us directly if you have any additional questions!
