Delta single handle model 172 is leaking at the base and tip of the
spout. There is an occasional leak at the base of the handle as well.
Is there a Q&A on what is needed to fix each problem and what the part numbers are (plus Glacier Bay parts, if that is available). The local plumber thought I could get a set of replacement parts from you
for free. What are my options?

there should be, probably a diverter problem inside the spout assembly. It is stuck between settings letting water travel through the hose and out the sprayer. It is not returning fully to resting position.
if it leaking around the base of the spout...it would be spout o-rings....if it is dripping from the aerator then it is the seat and springs in the handle.
You remove the handle after turning the water off the to faucet. Remove the retaining nut which is apart of the trim. The ball assymbly will pull right out and you will find the two little washers and springs below the ball. You can buy a rebuild kit with the new ball if you like but it is not necessary. When you do replace the washers, it might be necessary to tighen the tension ring that is on the retaining nut. Tighten it unit it doesn't leak around the ball stem.
