We had a slow drip from our bathroom faucet so I went searching for a replacement stem assembly. Unfortunately I had no idea what faucet model we have, there is no way to view the underside of it to read any model numbers. Our apartment was built 5½ years ago but we were not given any documentation as to what model fixtures we have. So unfortunately I initially ordered a 25513 stem assembly which may work for older versions. When I pulled the old one out of our faucet I saw that those were not the correct ones.
Cut the water supply off underneath the faucet first - that was the hardest part of this process. We have those push/pull shut off valves which require a lot of effort to pull up to close. I had to ask a neighbor who could get better leverage in the bathroom cabinet to pull them up.
Once I got these valves which are an exact match for the old ones they were very easy to install. Pull the old ones out first to compare to the images of the ones you want to order. No o-rings, or springs, or seats to mess with on this model. They just slide right in. The one you pull out from the hot side may take some effort to wiggle out due to deposits or minor corrosion.
As someone from Delta responded to my question, there is a down pointing arrow on the lower(black) body that should be on the inside toward the faucet on both hot and cold side. There are tabs on the body that go into the notches on the brass body underneath. You just have to orient the stem on each side so that the handles will rotate open and closed in the proper directions. Just match the position with the ones you removed. Then snugly tighten the big nut that’s under the handles, turn the water back on (it was easier pushing those valves down to turn the water on), and you’re done. This really can be done in about 10 minutes. I ordered 2 of these to replace both the hot and cold sides. If you’re doing all this because of a leak you may as well do both, if one side is leaking odds are the other will soon enough if it isn’t already.
I had actually called a handyman to take a look at this since I had no experience with these faucets. He took one of the ones we pulled out of the faucet to try to match to new ones at a couple plumbing supply stores. He said he went to 2 of them and couldn’t find any matches and was told at one store that they had never seen this type. So being able to get these from Amazon, which are a little less expensive than from Delta, is a major convenience. The part number is the Delta part number, even though the Amazon description says Leland faucet, there must be a variety of newer Delta models these will work for.
