We have a newly installed culinaire top mount bridge kitchen faucets. It is leaking at a slow drip. Have tried the instructions to solve, not working. What is the problem? The drip is 3 to 5 seconds from spout.

American Standard has the Installation Guide for some of their kitchen faucets on each product's page. A list of some of their two-handle kitchen faucets is available here: https://www.americanstandard-us.com/kitchens/kitchen-faucets?No.%20of%20Handles=Two&page=1&plimit=21 . Home Depot has the Installation Guide for the Heritage wall-mount faucet with Goose Neck spout on the product page: https://www.homedepot.com/p/American-Standard-Heritage-2-Handle-Wall-Mount-Kitchen-Faucet-in-Polished-Chrome-with-Gooseneck-Spout-7293-252-002/100080273 . The current link to the guide is https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfimages/de/deca2fce-73fc-47a2-acb5-efc7232dac17.pdf .

These are standard plumbing installation guides. They condense most of the steps of the hardware install into one diagram/step of the guide.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please add more information on the style of your faucet. (Is it a wall-mounted faucet or a sink-mounted faucet?)

Hello
Here is a link to american standard,I could not find your model.Most lowes or home depot stores have a replacement cartridge.

Just shut off your incoming water before you take it apart.Usually you will need a pair of pliers a phillips screw driver and a set of allen wrenches.

If you have properly replaced the diverter assembly, there is either a problem with valve or debris was left in the valve from old diverter when new diverter was installed. Disassemble diverter by pulling spout back off. remove new diverter and check valve. Cup your hand over faucet and turn cold water handle on to attempt to flush any debris left behind. Try several times then reassemble. If this doesn't do the trick then replace. Get a quality filtering system and take care of your new faucet by making sure it's dry and polished after use. You won't be replacing your fixtures as often from calcium and corrosion.

It is an easy fix, get the make off the faucet, go to the hardware store and match it up to a new cartridge, turn off the water, pull the old cartridge, or pull it first and take it with you to match up, then make the swap, no more drip. Some faucets have rubber seals, not the cartridge, same thing though, just replace the seals, and then some older faucets have rubber seats in the handles, same thing, pull out the old ones, replace, if the metal is corroded, you can get it reseated, or replace the whole thing.

If you contact Moen, they will send you a new cartridge, as well as tool to replace it. ( 1-800-buy-moen )
No charge.

Try tighten the hoses, if this don't work the seal in hose connectors may need replaced, very simple and cheap to replace. over time the hot water will wear down the seal it will go bad with pressure and water period. It's a good thing to change these all while you are there.

There could be debris wedge in the cartridge of the faucet. If you have tried pulling the cartridge out to see, and you are still having these issues, more than likely it is a defective cartridge; in which case it should still be under warranty. If you haven't tried this, then I would recommend doing so. Just be sure to turn water off to your faucet first.

Yes, a cartridge will probably solve it. There are two different Moen cartridges so be sure to take the old one with you so you get the correct one.

The faucet is slowing wearing out. You can live with this little drip or have a repair kit installed in the faucet. If you are handy you can do this yourself.
You must be sure to get the repair kit that matches your faucet. good luck
