I have a DELTA Unit, which is about 15 years old, in my present home. I noticed that this new mode is improved. Mine had a cheap plastic 4 to 5 inch 2 piece coupler from the single hot/cold line from plate to the flexible metal tube to the hand output. I've had to replace the valve that made it the washer less unit 6 times. Trust me, the faucet units that had washers in my 1951 built home didn't need serviced that many times in 70 years, rubber washers, and once the tool mini grinder. I like the looks of this new unit, and I will be installing it in my kitchen right after Christmas 🎄. Thank you for your video
The instructions that came with the faucet did not match the parts included. I'm glad I found this video. It matches the parts in the box and made my installation easy. Thanks.
The instruction manual indicates a 3 function wand, but the Grant box says on the box it's a dual function, which it is. I chose this pull out faucet for my kitchen. My plumber approved of my choice.
Hey Chris, just wanted to thank you for this tutorial. The diagram in the instruction manual is near impossible for someone without a mechanical background to follow, and finding this video was like finding water in the desert. Thank you very much for this! Also, we agree that this is a great faucet. Cheers!!
This is such a great comment! Thank you so much I really appreciate it and you really have a way with words I love that analogy like finding water in the desert thats so cool to hear thank you so much!
Thanks man, The Adapter makes my work / life easier , if i dont watch your video i could be totally lost. I also suggest use a washer inside 1/2 if water leaks. Just the adapter didnot work for me. Thank again bro.
Thank you so much. I do not do this enough to be familiar with the ins and outs of installing a faucet. After watching your video it was so much easier than I was making it out to be. I do not know about anyone else, but to me the directions that came with the faucet looked as if they were written by a drunk sailor with ADD. They made no sense what so ever. That, and I am a visual learner. Thanks again.
Just purchased the kessler and the direction that came with it were not exact to the model so thank you for this video because it had the same mounting parts!!!! So much help!!
Delta is without a doubt the best. Glad the video was able to help thank you very much for watching!!! Feel free to share the video with friends who may find it of us as well! Thanks again! Take care stay safe! -Chris
thanks for the vid my man. the hieroglyphic directions that came with it were nonsense. Got this installed in about 15 min after watching you vid. thumbs up
Everybody has their favorites, but my experience has not be good with Delta. I bought the Delta Signature Arctic Faucet about five years ago & about a month ago the hose split/failed contacted Delta because of the life time warranty, no problem, RIGHT? Wrong, they sent me a replacement hose after I provided 3 pics so that could ensure they were sending the correct hose, but when I got it and tried to install it I found it was different, Called Delta again, 45 mins or so later found that they had sent me the wrong faucet and no longer had the part I needed, so they gave me 70% off any faucet I wanted, got the Delta Grant off of their on-line store, because I had to, but not for the $100, but $241+ dollars, $72 + tax. Thank you Delta. Grab a Delta and your ankles if you're going to deal with these guys!
Dang man I’m really sorry you had that happen with Delta! I’ve had customers tell me they tried to treat them that way before too, same with Kohler and Hans Grohe but I was always able to get them to send a free faucet. Next time that shit happens let me know I’ll work it out for you.
You are very welcome bro! Thanks for checking out the video and EXTRA thanks for dropping a comment and letting me know it helped! Appreciate you man! Take care!
The video was awesome made my installation process super easy! Thank you!! Now I need to straighten the turn on turn off handle not sure now to do it? Any help please!! Thanks again!
Manual for mine was for another similar model but not actually mine. Had a few extra parts I wasn’t sure what they were for or if the black one is just a tool? Great video you made but I noticed my faucet also came with two white plastic ferrules. Are they required for the hot and cold water supply lines or not? Didn’t see you install on video…
@@carlvarner709 no the ferrules are required if you cut and shorten the lines for some reason but I do not recommend you do that. The black piece is probably just the tool
@@carlvarner709 If it’s black and looks like it has ends for nuts like octagonal or hexagonal ends one big one and some smaller ones on the sides that’s a tool for a different faucet I think
I had the Delta cicero and that broke down in one way or another about 5 times. The whole faucet was turning around when we turned the handle. So I notice one of the mounting screws was missing I could not screw it out. I called a plumber. I had a new mounting nut sent out and when we tried to get the old mounting nut off we found it was cross threaded on so badly we couldn't get it off. When we used force the mounting pipe broke off of the faucet so I finally I had to replace it with the Grant which i bought at Home depot for $150.
I love how you jump right in and go right to it, thank you. I'm currently installing the Delta Kessler, looks the same except there's a soap dispenser. I figured since this has the pull out sprayer I could use the hole where the previous spray gun was to put the soap dispenser but thie base that came with the faucet only has one hole. I fig I can either get a different base with two holes or make another hole in the sink for the soap dispenser. Which do you think would be best? Thank you again for your video
Dang im so sorry I missed this Comment.... I hope you got it figured out... Yes absolutely I believe thats why they include the Soap in most of the higher end Delta Faucets to replace the old side sprayer! Dang wish I woulda caught this comment sooner... Im sorry... Thanks for stopping by!
@@PlumbingExplained No worries, it came with the long mounting deck and a smaller center deck that only uses one hole so I was able to use one of the other holes for the soap dispenser but I was left with an empty hole so I made a plug for it with silicone caulking. I think I will eventually get another soap dispenser and fill that one with dish soap since I put hand soap in the other one. I had read several comments and questions at the Delta website and found out that they don't make a deck with two holes. All good. Thank you!
Yes thats very common many people use two soap disepsners one for hand soap and one for dish soap I always think its kinda cool when people have two lol just dont forget which one is which! I would suggest maybe putting in an Insinkerator push button for your disposal in the extra hole or maybe a reverse Osmosis Faucet! Depending where you live I definitely suggest filtering your drinking water!
@@PlumbingExplained I considered a reverse osmosis system wtih a water spout for that extra hole but I just threw out our Britta Pitcher and got a Pur Pitcher plus several replacement filtes. As for the soap, I mostly only buy gentle, environmentally safe, cruelty free products so no worries there, even though I wash my hands more than most, pandemic or not. The water is mostly for cooking, dog water dishes and coffee. I prefer bottled water just because it's convenient and doesn't get that stale taste from sitting out although I gotta figure something else out because all that plastic isn't good for the environment. I'm saving up the caps to melt down and reuse but I feel a lot of guilt with regard to the bottles. Ooooh, quick question: I read that the water heater should be emptied out every 3-6 months..... do you have a video showing how to do that and if not, hint- hint (clears throat while jabbing you with an elbow....:) ~~~)
After a few years, my Delta faucet is no longer swiveling. I've tried lubricants etc. Now the entire faucet has become loose because of the constant forced swiveling. I loosened the two screws underneath to attempt removal, but I cannot turn the nut. I've tried WD40, nothing seems to be working. It was so easy to replace my old faucet and now 100's of dollars later, this faucet is malfunctioning and I'll have to call a plumber to have it removed. The original faucet was $7 dollars and lasted 40 years. I thought it would be nice to have an 'upgrade'. lol.
After installation I saw two white ferrules I forgot. But I put the supply lines on like normal and tightened with no leaks. Not sure what these are for.
Thanks helpful video - the instructions could be updated with some better labels - having extra parts you dont knoe what they're for isnt a great feeling
I think my Delta Grant is clogged. Is there instructions or a video on how to remove the head and clean out the filter? It isn't obvious how it comes apart.
LostDutchman try removing the hose from the spray head look down into the spray head there should be a little plastic piece, you want to remove that plastic piece
It’s very hard to follow your video because you are not showing all the way thru, I understand you are one man band, but if someone could hold the camera, would be great. Thank you.

My grandson threw away the installation paper so thank you so much
You are very welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment!!
Just put in a Delta Kessler this morning - My directions sucked - thank you so much for your video!
Thanks! Got it done!! This was easy and straightforward. Keep doing these videos! You rock! Cheers!
Super helpful! I would have been absolutely lost without your video.
Thank you so much for the comment, glad I could help!

I just got my Delta Grant at Home depot for $150 but I had to drive there. Delta charges more on their website.
This was awesome! Exactly what I needed.
Done & Done. Nice heads up about having coupler handy. Thx Brutha ✌

@@PlumbingExplained thanks for the quick reply! I wasn’t sure if they should be placed over the red and blue hot and cold parts..
@@PlumbingExplained I wish I could show you a picture of the tool. At least I’m guessing that’s what it is as it has many different ends.

You are welcome thank you for leaving a comment it really helps!
Great video but where does the weight go?
Excellent video. Right about to put this facet in. Saved me alot of time 👍👍👍
Thanks Chris. Made it simple 🙌 👏 👌
Dude, handy video thank you
Glad I could help bro! Take care!
I am not a plumber so this went a little fast for me. But overall this was good info. Thank you.
Just installed mine yesterday
I'm old and never did this before so I need the "dummies" version!
This video should help! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!
Very helpful!
Thanks this help me so much

I think my Delta Grant is clogged. Is there instructions or a video on how to remove the head and clean out the filter? It isn't obvious how it comes apart.
LostDutchman which part seems clogged? Is it low flow on both the spray setting and normal setting?
@@PlumbingExplained both seem to have a low flow rate.
LostDutchman try removing the hose from the spray head look down into the spray head there should be a little plastic piece, you want to remove that plastic piece
Right down to the 3/8x1/2 male compressions
THANK YOU!
The provided instructions were absolute GARBAGE!
But you made me love the Grant after all!
Please tell me what was the name of the wrench WITH TEETH that you used? Thanks, mine (given by dad was stolen)
The tools I used were Basen Wrench(silver), Channel Lock Pliers(teal handles) and 4 in 1 screw driver (orange handle)
Is this DELTA Grant also called Linden?
How to remove the old one
Delta should improve the installation guide, but otherwise faucet works, so no other complaints.
thanks
You are welcome :)
