Customer Reviews for DANCO Seats/Springs for Delta Faucets (50-Pack)

The springs are so springy, when you smoosh them together and let go, BAM, just like that cooking guy, they go right back to where they were. And the rubber seats, seal great, just as good as the name brand ones that cost 10 times more. Bottom line, if you need a bunch of valve seats for your bicycle, you can't go wrong buying these. Make sure to get a 50 foot roll of 12/3 wire and an aluminum framing square (plastic ones are too flimsy) at the same time so you don't have to make more trips to store later.

If you are in the market & searching reviews on Delta Faucet repair parts then LISTEN UP. An old saying tells us that "A wise man learns from his mistakes. But the wiser man learns from the mistakes of others.". That saying definitely applies to repair parts for Delta products, and probably for quality brand faucets. The lesson here for you is to STAY AWAY from Danco or any aftermarket product to repair your Delta faucets. Danco is JUNK and I am reasonably sure that any aftermarket brand would be. I speak from the voice of experience. I have all Delta faucets through my house that I have owned for 8-1/2 years. I have had to replace the seats & springs in several of my faucets many times over those years, but mainly the kitchen 2-handle Delta faucet. I always skimped and bought the off-brand parts, and what a headache they have given me. It seems like I was constantly having to tear the faucets apart and fiddle with them to try to get them to stop leaking in a drip or a small stream. About the best I could ever do was maybe slightly slow the stream down to a drip, but could never completely stop it. I have been fighting the slow-streaming / dripping kitchen faucet again now for off and on for the last 3-4 days. Finally after going though about 6 of these JUNK Danco seats & springs I decided to try the OEM Delta seats & springs, especially after a review on Amazon for Danco seats & springs that said the reviewer had examined both the Delta & Danco seats and that the Danco was crowned whereas the Delta was flat, and the flatter the surface the more contact area. Common sense. So off to my local Home Depot I went. I told the sales associate my dilemma and that if the Delta seats & springs did not stop my leak then I was going to return them, because then they would be no better than the Danco brand, and actually worse because the Delta brand is A LOT more expensive per piece ($4.47 for a package of 2 seats & 2 springs). So just a about a half hour ago I began installing the new Delta seats & springs. The first thing I noticed is that the Delta seat & spring just about dropped into the orifice where they go all by themselves, whereas with the Danco brand it was like trying to put a square peg into a round hole to try to get them into the orifice (frustrating beyond words). That right there gave me a ray of hope that the Delta parts were going to not only install easy but also stop the leak. So I continued. I gently pushed them down just slightly, because I figured the bottom plate of the cartridge would finish seating them when I tightened the packing nut down. I finished the installation in about 2-3 minutes (compared to unsuccessfully fighting with the Danco brand for 3-4 DAYS). I then reached under the kitchen sink cabinet and turned the water supply valve back on and then opened the faucet and then closed it. It shut off instantly and completely over the course of several repeated cycles! Praise God! (and Delta)! But a word of caution, ie: when you tighten that packing nut down around your cartridge just hand tighten it as far as it will go and then put your adjustable wrench on it and give it maybe another 1/4 turn, as you do not want or need to overtighten the nut, as doing so will damage or wear out your new seat and spring prematurely. When done you should be able to turn your faucet handle with 2 fingers and almost zero effort. Home Depot should be ashamed of themselves for selling Danco JUNK, and should immediately discontinue selling it, and should sell ONLY the quality OEM Delta parts. The moral of this story is that NEVER EVER will I buy Danco or any other JUNK aftermarket parts for my Delta Faucets, and I also will warn everyone I can to do the same. Stick with Delta and you will never go wrong! Good luck!

Fixed the problem and was easy to install

Danco springs are taller and are not ground flat on either end like the Delta springs. Danco seals are made of much softer material than Delta and have a "skirt" that makes inserting them completely into the valve seating area nearly impossible. And the higher spring height, sharp spring coil end, and softer seal material all add up to the Danco seals getting damaged with simple regular use of the faucet. The hot side Danco seal on my Delta faucet has gotten ripped twice in as many days.

This after market supplier makes parts that fit my Delta faucets well, and I was glad that this pro pack had a large supply of springs and seats.

So far so good seems to work fine repaired two faucets dnyce

The seats work well, and the 50-pack will ensure I have some available when needed. Great purchase!

What can you say about a spring and seat? They work and if you need more than two, these make sense.

I bought a pack once to work on multiple faucets! The first faucet wouldn’t seal. The second faucet sealed, but leaked the next day. The third faucet sealed, but started leaking a month later! Replaced everyone later with a genuine factory Delta seal and worked perfectly! You cant beat the real genuine factory Delta parts!

Definitely fixed the issue

These fix drips from the facet and also drips from delta shower valves, Delta products are some of the best products.

I own an apartment complex and do all of the plumbing myself. These parts may work initially but will fail a couple of week or months later. Almost always on the hot water side. The seat just splits. The savings are not worth it. Stick with the original Delta parts and save yourself the time and hassle of making the same repair over and over again.

Work as well as delta parts. Less money for more springs and washers.

They did the work that they were supposed to do....thank

They seem to work well! Delta faucet leak has stopped after replacing the seats and springs.

Functional replacement for worn out parts in my older faucets. Good fit. I found it easier to put the spring inside the washer, and then putting that combination in place instead of putting the spring in by itself and then adding the washer. That part of the instructions seemed a little more difficult to me.

Was able to fix my really old Delta tub faucet with this (along with a new valve), and it now works as good as new. I've also got a sink in the same bathroom that also has Delta faucets, so the pack of 50 should last me forever.

Fixed my tub leak with no problem.

They work great and a great price

Not good quality had to replace this part 3 times if you have these I recommend buying the 50 pack

I have used the Danco brand years ago with no issues. This new stuff does not work like original Delta parts. The springs and seats as well as the top packing and cam assembly are oversized just enough that when assembled, the handle is very hard to move. Will not buy Danco parts in the future, only genuine Delta from this point on…..

I needed a maximum of two sets for our faucet, but had to buy the only available package of 50!
