DIYer, not in the trades
When building our home in '98/'99 the wife chose a Danze Plymouth Pullout faucet for our mudroom sink. By 2020, it was looking tired and so I asked he wife to go choose a replacement. She chose an identical Danze Plymouth. The unit leaked at the ball stem on day one. I was able to tighten the retainer nut to stop the leak but that was short-lived. After a few more adjustments, I finally contacted Danze for an A66D641N ball valve assembly and they were quick to send it out.
Unfortunately, I should have tried taking off the canopy (cap) before ordering the ball valve assembly as the threads had corroded from the leaking water and I ended up marring the cap with slip-joint pliers. The chrome thread on the cap had galled and I ended up having to work it back and forth, tightening and loosening before it would come off. Danze was good about also sending out more parts.
Also, when I turned the angle stops back on, the hot side leaked at the stem so it looks like I will be changing those out as well. SO much for not following my own advice to always have spare angle stops on hand.
