Replacing Delta Faucet

17 years ago

I've got gold/polished brass Delta faucets in my 10-yr old home that I would like to remove and replace. I plan on picking up something off eBay that I like for both the tub and sinks (matching of course) and need to figure out what, if anything, is needed to make the switch. As you can see from the photos, the faucets are widespread on 8" centers. I see several sellers listing faucets as "trim only" or noting that "rough-in" kit required. I researched some of these "rough-in" kits and found them to be quite expensive ($75-$100). I also e-mailed these pictures to Delta customer service to find out the model number, but they never responded. Please help!

ANY 8" centers kit should give you everything you need. Should not be any problem changing them, as long as you can get to the nuts. You might have to purchase a basin wrench to reach them. Use plumbers putty on the drain. Nothing else should be required.

Ditto on the above comment. Also if you are replacing all of the Plumbing trim in this bathroom, now is the time to reconsider the finishes. Brushed nickel is very popular and you can even buy a new toilet handle so all trim matches.

You can browse around the stores, ask questions and find something you like, then google the manufacturer and faucet number and maybe find a better deal online. The big box stores buy in bulk so sometimes they have better pricing.

Hope That Helps,
