This review is from: Delta 467-SSSD-DST Palo Single Handle Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet with Soap Dispenser, Stainless (Tools & Home Improvement) I would agree with the other review by 'HappyCat'. This was easy to install, and fortunately I had the crescent wrenches that are necessary to do the install. I did the installation from under the sink without removing the sink or even the sink disposal. The base plate came with a foam pad that goes around the edge underneath, but I used some plumber's putty anyway to give it a water-seal just in case.
I read a few other reviews for Chinese made sink faucets that I liked, but I decided to go with this Delta faucet as it appears to me that the Delta brand is a high-quality brand that has been in business for many years. I also have some Delta showerheads in my showers which work great. It remains to be seen if this will leak or not, but it does come with instructions for maintenance in case it does leak. Its look and appearance is sleek and I love it. The soap dispenser is a nice add-on that keeps your sink less-cluttered. Much better than the old faucet...Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Delta 467-SD-DST Palo Single Handle Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet with Soap Dispenser, Chrome (Tools & Home Improvement) I purchased this faucet through Amazon despite the small number of positive/total reviews located here. I am very glad I did. The faucet arrived promptly with all parts and Delta's detailed installation instructions. This was my first faucet installation, and after the nightmare I went through to get the old faucet out, I was concerned that my replacement project was only halfway done when the old one finally came out. Instead, the new faucet went in without a hitch in about 30 minutes. While the hot and cold water supply lines on the unit are quite long, I did not have trouble manipulating the somewhat stiff plastic lines into loops under my congested sink area - thereby avoiding the potential pitfall of trying to cut them. Both lines sealed perfectly after a little additional tightening.
I am pleased with the quality of the faucet and its components given its reasonable price. The pull-out sprayer works well, with two (normal/spread) settings. The soap dispenser was not a...Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Delta 467-SD-DST Palo Single Handle Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet with Soap Dispenser, Chrome (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought this faucet to replace an off-brand model installed by the previous homeowner. When it comes to plumbing, my goal is simple. I want to mess with it more than absolutely necessary and I don't want any catastrophic leaks down the road because of incorrect installation or cheap parts.
The technology behind faucet installation has improved in the last 10-20 years and this faucet had surprisingly few parts. I used a small crescent wrench to connect to the water supply and a phillips screwdriver to tighten the faucet base to the sink. No other tools. The faucet base has the water lines already attached to it. No real assembly of the base, just slide it through the sink holes. A hose needs to be threaded through the faucet base and attached to the wand, a connection that is tightened by hand. This hose slides onto a water line connected to the base. No tools needed for that. The water lines have the fittings already attached to connect to your...Read more |
