Delta Other: Disposal and Flange Stopper - Kitchen

I really love how this looks. But the rubber gasket is not tight enough to hold water. I swapped the rubber gasket from the stopper than came with the disposal and it works much better, so it is a design flaw. For the price, it should also include a rubber splash guard and a strainer.

We just finished building a brand new dream home and we went with Delta products for our kitchen due to their reputation of being high quality and reliable. We purchase all of our plumbing fixtures through Ferguson supply and they were helpful. I am extremely disappointed in this product. It holds water 1 out of 10 times we try to use the stopper. I contacted my Ferguson rep and requested a new stopper be shipped to us figuring it was a defect in this product. We received a new one and it leaks also. It is a poorly designed product and I am very disappointed. The only solution was I was able to find an aftermarket stopper at our local Menards store that had a larger rubber ring on it and I was able to swap it out on our Delta stopper so it still matches. That solved the problem. Nonetheless, I had to spend an extra $15 to get the product to work as it should. Reading the other reviews, this is not an isolated occurrence. The Delta engineers need to fix this as it is absolutely a design flaw.
