Common drip or leak from spout? This is the usual part you need... August 4, 2009
Edward Sikorski (Bucks County, PA)

BEFORE you buy this part, know that Delta has a lifetime warranty with most of their products and you could visit their website and request the replacement part for your Delta Faucet (I recommend having the purchase info, date and part number included) at no charge.
This little part seems to be a common failure at my home. I don't know if there is something in the water supply or just bad design, but after two to three years, all of my bathroom faucets (Delta Victorian) are starting to drip. The tub is now dripping (a slow trickle) and I never use the tub (or if so, once a year). But replacing the spring/rubber washer, stopped the drip.
I'm not a plumber but mechanically inclined. Replacing the part only requires shutting off the water supply, removing the valve assembly(s) and replacing the seal/spring. And make sure to block the drain as the this part could pop out and guess where it will want to go!
But $4 isn't much compared to a plumber's rate if this is going to be a problem every 2-3 years, I suggest getting some spares...
Used in Jacuzzi Whirlpool Tub Valves - 1990 vintage June 4, 2010
David Martin (Fremont, CA)
Discovered Delta supplied Jacuzzi with water valves for their model 'Amiga whirlpool tubs' which were manufactured in late 1989. Hot & cold water valves begain leaking water around the valve stem shafts and the local Jacuzzi dealer referred me to buy the necessary Delta parts, the 'RP4993 seat & spring' and the 'Delta Stem Unit Assembly RP1740'. Discovered upon disassembly of the water valve that a black o-ring had been used originally along what appeared to be a 'white delrin seat'. It appears Delta has redesigned the replacement RP4993 to employ a rubber seat and a spring.
Replaced the parts and reassembled which liberal amounts of silicone grease. Note: A special Jacuzzi socket wrench (part #: 1981000) is required to remove the bonnet nut within the recessed water valve cavity. Successful bonnet nut removal required a soaking with Lime-Away followed up with near boiling water. Repair appears to have resolved all leaks. It does appear slightly more torque is required to open/close the water valves, probably due to the pressure exerted upon the rubber seat by the spring.
