1) Is this a just a generic replacement for a delta faucet?2) reviewers have mentioned Ceramic valve component,is this a fact?

its the same one that came with the faucet ..unfortunately its plastic and if you have hard water it will wear out faster i think

1) If by "generic" you mean one-size-fits-all _within_ the Delta line, it does seem to be a very ubiquitous part across the Delta kitchen faucet line; however, my specific faucet's parts diagram called for this exact part number, so it fit like a glove (and works like new); 2) I have no idea; the unit is sealed (which is why it's not "rebuildable").

To be honest, i can't remember if it was a Delta or Generic brand, but it was identical to the old one i took out.It definitely is a ceramic face on the replacement. The opposite side is I believe, a carbon surface - similar to a rotating seal, like on a water pump. Mine had been working fine for the last year, or whenever it was that I replaced it.

My package was clearly marked Delta- Genuine Parts, it has worked longer than the original part already. Easy to install, go for it...

The packaging indicated such and in comparing it physically to the original, they appeared identical. The replacement was simple and it has worked well since.

it retracts manually, with no effort and yes, smoothly. since i wrote my last review Delta sent me a replacement valve/solenoid which came with a different battery pack to power the valve. the original power pack took C batteries. the new power pack takes AA's. since i have replaced the original valve with the new one the faucet has worked flawlessly. Delta must have figured the original design over powered, perhaps fried the valve using the C batteries. i'm happy now.

Not sure why you don't believe the specs, but now that you mention it there was a very noticeable decrease in flow rate when I replaced my Delta faucet with this one. I don't live in CA so the old one was not low-flow, but this one is.

I tried to find the ceramic valve at various local suppliers in Montreal without any luck,but when I found the complete faucet that was the same as the one that I had for 60$ +/-, I took the values from my replacement faucet to my old one and it worked like a charm.THe problem I had was a constant trickle of water and a loud sound when you opened the faucet. All was resolved once I replaced the valves.

Perhaps you already have the answer to your question, but I live in California and just received three Delta faucets from Amazon (9/12/2013).

I bought two different delta trims and can't remember. My best answer is to look up Delta home office telephone number on line and ask them how it is packaged. Do think the one I ordered on line from Amazon was trim only and did not have valve and the Delta that I bought at Lowes included the value. My best guess is that there is no valve included.

The best way that I have found to find the correct model number for the replacement stem is to use the Delta website and find your faucet. My faucet is 13 years old and Delta had the faucet and a parts list on its website. From the parts list you can find the part number and cross reference to a replacement part number.

Yes, but the cartridge was not the correct one. I had to contact Delta and they provided to cartridge at no cost. I really like the faucet!

Everything has to match. If you had delta before get delta again. They don't mix and match. It's not as simple as replacing a valve inside. I believe you would have to remove the tub to get to it. If it was a Moen before, the new Moen faucet comes with a different insert and there was an old insert we had to take out (like an adapter).

My guess is that the generic part you purchased isn't working properly. I had a similar problem with a generic part I bought from Home Depot. The problem went away when I bought the real Moen part. When you install the Moen part be sure that you have the part properly oriented such that the holes line up properly when the faucet is fully open. I ran into that problem when I first tried to install the cartridge into my sink. The handles turn in opposite direction so the center of the valve needs to be oriented differently in the off position. Good luck with your repair. If you need more detailed help with your valve, I recommend dropping a note on the managemylife.com web site. This is a free support site run by Sears. They've helped me diagnose and repair several appliances. Steve

The box arrived with the handle and cover plate, along with all necessary screws. If this is a new installation and/or you're replacing the entire faucet, you will also need to purchase a valve. I recommend: Delta Faucet R10000-UNBX MultiChoice(R) Universal Tub and Shower Valve Body (it fit perfectly with this trim kit). I would also recommend you purchase a phillips head screwdriver ;)

I have no idea. It did not fit the Delta dispenser I have, but because it looked so similar and was relatively inexpensive, I took a chance (fortunately, a call to Delta resulted in their sending me the exact replacement at no charge). I tend to believe that these parts are pretty specialized. You can go onto Delta's support website and get a detailed parts diagram to be sure.

Don't know about the sprayer, but wouldn't recommend the faucet if you haven't already purchased it. There isn't much of a happy medium between hot and cold. It's either scorching hot or freezing cold. Not what I would expect from Delta, but guess you can't win them all.

I found that many faucets use the same stems. I went to the deltafaucet.com, searched for a similar fixture, found the repair parts list. Then I shopped around to find the best price. Use only original Delta parts. I found that 3rd party equivalents do not work well.
