Brasscraft sl0103 Faucet Ball Assembly for Delta

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT sl0103 is a stainless steel faucet ball assembly designed as a direct replacement component for Delta faucets. The ball assembly controls the flow and temperature of water inside a ball-type faucet by rotating within the faucet body to open and close the inlet ports. At 2 inches in length and 1 inch in both width and height, this compact part fits into standard Delta ball faucet cartridge housings without modification. Plumbers and experienced DIYers install this part during faucet repair when the existing ball shows wear, scoring, or leaking at the stem. Domestic manufacture supports consistent material tolerances.

The sl0103 is suited for residential and light commercial ball faucet repair applications. It is used when rebuilding a Delta ball-type faucet that shows dripping at the spout or handle, conditions typically caused by a worn or damaged ball. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles repeated thermal cycling from hot and cold water exposure. This assembly is appropriate for kitchen, bathroom, and utility sink faucets that use the Delta ball cartridge design.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified DIYer should shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valves or main shutoff before disassembling the faucet. Relieve line pressure by opening the faucet handle before removing the cap and collar. The IPC and local plumbing codes govern faucet repair work in many jurisdictions. Inspect the faucet seats, springs, and O-rings while the faucet is disassembled and replace worn components to prevent callback visits.
