    Hot water driping out of Delta faucet
    I have a Delta Model #35925 two handle widespread lavatory faucet and the hot water faucet is dripping out of the spout not from the handle. I have put 4 new cardridges in and it still leaks. HELP

    Your #RP47422 Srem Unit icartridge sn't seating. Shut the water off and remove the cartridge. Check the inlet ports and place a pan over the open valve body. Now turn on the hot water on for a minute to flush out the supply and valve body. Now button it back up and check. Let me know, Tom

    Well, something isn't allowing the cartridge to seat closed. If a replacement cartridge didn't work then the problem's in the valve body itself.
