Delta Seat and Spring Kit #80465

The Delta Seat and Spring Kit #80465 fixes leaky faucets. This aftermarket repair kit provided by Danco gives you 1 O-ring, 3 seats, and 2 springs to rebuild Delta Scald-Guard single-handle faucets that won’t stop dripping.

Dimensional Specs and What Actually Fits

The O-ring measures 1.19 inches inner diameter by 1.36 inches outer diameter. Those dimensions matter — too big and it won’t seat properly, too small and you’ll still have a leak. The kit works with Delta Scald-Guard cartridges in single-handle configurations, fitting both pressure-balance and non-pressure-balance stems.

Specification	Value
Inner Diameter	1.19”
Outer Diameter	1.36”
Material	Stainless Steel, Rubber
Water Compatibility	Hot, Cold
Package Weight	0.02 lb

The kit’s built for both hot and cold water lines, using stainless steel and rubber construction. That’s standard for repair parts — nothing fancy, just materials that’ll handle temperature swings and constant water exposure.

What You Get and Whether It’s Worth It

This kit includes multiple seats (3) and springs (2), providing extra parts compared to some minimal kits. Smart move by Danco — seats and springs often fail together, and having spares means you won’t need another trip to the store when the cold side starts dripping six months later.

It’s an aftermarket alternative to OEM Delta replacement parts, often more readily available in local hardware stores than specialized OEM components.

The 3.8 out of 5 rating from 19 reviews tells the real story — customers generally find the kit functional for stopping leaks, but some reviews suggest mixed results regarding long-term durability or fit perfection compared to OEM parts. Translation: it’ll fix your leak, but don’t expect it to last as long as genuine Delta parts.

Installation Reality Check

The kit is designed for a straightforward installation. It involves disassembling the faucet handle and stem, removing the old seats, springs, and O-ring, and replacing them with the new components from the kit. Ensure the water supply is turned off before starting the repair — obvious advice that somehow needs repeating.

Complexity is rated as “Standard DIY repair”, which means any contractor can knock this out in 15 minutes. Homeowners with basic tools can handle it too. You’ll need to pull the handle, extract the cartridge, and swap the worn parts. Rebuilding the stem with this kit is a common solution for stopping faucet drips.

The Lead-Free Question

The kit complies with the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act, which matters in Montana where water quality regs are taken seriously. There’s also a California Proposition 65 Warning about 1,3-Butadiene exposure, but that’s standard California labeling on rubber products.

Warranty information is typically provided via a downloadable PDF guide. Danco usually offers a limited warranty for its repair products.

FAQ

Q: Will this kit work on my older Delta faucet that’s not a Scald-Guard model?

A: No. This kit is designed specifically for Delta Scald-Guard cartridges in single-handle configurations. Older Delta models use different seat and spring dimensions.

Q: Why does the kit include 3 seats but only 2 springs?

A: The kit includes 1 O-ring, 3 seats, and 2 springs. The extra seat gives you a spare for future repairs. Springs typically outlast seats, so the ratio makes sense.

Q: How long will this aftermarket kit last compared to genuine Delta parts?

A: Reviews suggest mixed results regarding long-term durability compared to OEM parts. Expect shorter lifespan than genuine Delta components, but the aftermarket option provides a workable solution when OEM parts aren’t readily available.

Q: Can I use this on kitchen and bathroom faucets?

A: Yes. The kit fits both pressure-balance and non-pressure-balance stems and works with hot and cold water lines, making it suitable for any Delta Scald-Guard single-handle faucet location.
