F-18 Delta Single Lever Faucet Cams
English Name: Delta Single Lever Faucet Cams
Material: Plastic
Color: Beige/Off-White
Product Description: A critical Cam component included in the Delta single lever handle faucet repair kit.
Product Features:
Compatibility: A core component of the Faucet Repair Kit for Delta Single Lever Handle Faucets (DELTA REPAIR KIT). It replaces old or worn cams, resolving issues such as faucet dripping, leaking, or difficult handle operation.
Used with Clear/Crystal Handles (Cam for crystal handle): It works in conjunction with single-handle faucet handles. It is installed directly above the ball valve or cartridge, receiving the handle’s rotational action and transferring it to the ball valve to control water flow and temperature.
Precise Cam Design: The specific shape and protruding parts of the component are key to its cam function. It is designed to precisely engage with the corresponding slots on the ball valve, ensuring the handle accurately drives the ball valve with every turn for accurate flow control.
Durable Plastic Material: Made from durable plastic, capable of withstanding water pressure, temperature variations, and the wear associated with daily handle operation.
Functions & Benefits:
Core of Flow and Temperature Control: The cam is the direct actuator component that enables the Delta single-handle faucet to switch the water flow on/off and mix hot/cold water. When the user moves the handle, the cam converts the handle’s linear or rotational motion into the precise movement of the ball valve, controlling the water flow rate and temperature.
Collaborative Sealing: During operation, the cam works closely with the ball valve and the seats/gaskets below it, collectively ensuring the faucet is effectively sealed to prevent dripping and leaks.
Repairs Common Issues: A worn or damaged cam is a common cause of dripping, a loose handle, stiff operation, or inaccurate flow control in Delta single-handle faucets. Replacing the cam is an effective solution to these problems.
Extends Faucet Lifespan: By replacing this critical wear component, the overall service life of the faucet can be significantly extended, avoiding the cost of replacing the entire fixture.
Application Areas:
Home Faucet Repair: Suitable for repair and part replacement of Delta brand single-handle faucets in bathtubs, showers, kitchens, or lavatories within a residential setting.
Plumbing Professional Use: A standard replacement part for plumbers and maintenance professionals.
