PRODUCT FEATURES
The curved handle and sleek spout of the Lahara® Bath Collection make a lasting impression. Touch it on. Touch it off. Or go completely hands-free. Delta® Touch2O® with Touchless Technology helps keep your bathroom clean by giving you three ways to operate your faucet: manually with the handle, with a simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle, or by placing your hands near the faucet. The high-tech capacitance sensing capabilities of Touchless faucets allow the flow of water to be activated by breaking the capacitance field anywhere around the device, unlike traditional hands-free infrared sensors which require your hands be in a particular place and are sensitive to lighting conditions and clothing and skin color. WaterSense® labeled faucets use at least 20% less water than the industry standard — helping you save water without compromising performance. You can install with confidence, knowing that this faucet is backed by Delta Faucet's Lifetime Limited Warranty on non-electronic parts and finishes and 5-Year Limited Warranty on electronic parts.
  • Operate hands-free by placing your hands near the faucet, with just a touch anywhere on the spout or handle, or manually using the handle
  • Helps keep your faucet cleaner, because washing the mess off your hands shouldn't involve making a mess of your faucet
  • Automatic water flow shut-off after two minutes helps conserve water
  • Integrated TempSense® LED light shows water temperature, changing from blue to magenta to red as temperature increases
  • Batteries last approximately 1 year if using AA batteries or 3 years if using C batteries, based on 20 minutes of usage per day
  • Optional A/C adapter EP102157 may be ordered separately
  • Diamond Seal® Technology is less hassle to install and helps your faucet perform like new for life, reducing leak points and lasting twice as long as the industry standard
  • Everything you need is together in one convenient box, including integrated InnoFlex® PEX supply lines
  • Fits 1 or 3-hole 4-inch installations (with included 6-1/2 inch deck plate)
  • Optional red/blue temperature indicator ring included
  • Metal push pop-up drain assembly in matching finish (included) is ADA compliant and simple to install, operate and clean
  • ADA Compliant
  • WaterSense® labeled faucet uses at least 20% less water than the industry standard without compromising performance
  • Rigid spout does not swivel
  • Backed by Delta Faucet's Lifetime Limited Warranty on non-electronic parts and finishes and 5-Year Limited Warranty on electronic parts

REVIEWS
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Battery Drain Since installation by qualified plumber this fixture has consumed batteries at fast pace. On average the 6 AAA alkaline batteries are drained every 30 days or so, leaving my faucet inoperable unless I have another 6 fresh batteries on hand.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Good When It Worked Good when it worked, but stopped after only three months. Have done all the recommended steps in the troubleshooting videos, but the faucet still will not turn on. Likely the solenoid assembly went bad which concerns me being that it's still fairly new.
Date published: 2024-12-05
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Wrong Piece In Packaging Twice Delta has now sent two faucets where the motion sensor is SQUARE and not ROUND. The square motion sensor doesn't fit with the ROUND faucet. I have replaced the square part with a round one via the help center but that part does not FIT around the base of the faucet. The part is found in the bag marked X00108157. The replacement part is RP64168 and that still didn't fit. 2 faucets, 1 replacement part, 3 weeks later and no working faucet. Going with a different brand to avoid this headache.

Q&A

manual function

Can this faucet turn on manually. I am considering purchasing it for my mom's bathroom. She has Alzheimer's and I want to make sure she does not leave the faucet running all day.
Asked by: Delta fan
Hi Delta Fan, Thank you for your question. You can place the model 538T-RB-DST in manual mode by turning the faucet on and with the water running disconnect the battery pack. If the faucet is left on in the Touch mode it will only run for 1 minute with no activity before shutting itself off. Thanks, Dave

Does the Lahara bath faucet have a baseplate for an 8" 3-hole spread?

Asked by: Bill
Hi, Bill! Thank you for your question. The only escutcheon plate available for the Delta 538T-DST faucet is the RP51346 which is 6 1/2" (165 mm). There is not an 8" option available. Best Regards, Rosanna

Is there a way to adjust the motion sensitivity of this faucet?

I would like to extend the motion sensitivity of the faucet by a couple of inches. The water shuts off when people are soaping their hands and then takes a couple more waves of the hand (sometimes more) to get it flowing again. If the proximity can't be adjusted, can the motion sense be shut off completely so it becomes a touch faucet? thanks!
Asked by: Sean
question re: Delta1's answer... "is equipped with touch free and a hands free mode" What is the difference between Touch free and Hands free mode? Did you mean to say that the 2 modes are - touch - hands free (via proximity)

Why is supplied pop up needed?

I'd rather not pull apart the plumbing under my sink. The installation manual says that the supplied pop up is required for proper function. Why?
Asked by: SK
Hi SK, Thank you for your question! The pop up assembly supplied with the faucet is manufactured to work with the touch faucet. Other pop ups may interfere with the touch technology. Best regards, Brandis

Re-activate Sensor on 538T-SS-DST

How do you re-activate the sensor on the 538T-SS-DST? It appears the sensor was accidentally de-activated, however, I cannot find re-activating instructions. I tried the same de-activating instructions to 'undo' the procedure and the light flashes blue and red but the sensor still does not work. Removed and re-installed the batteries and it does not re-activate the sensor. The batteries are fully functional as displayed by the strong blue light. The faucet works fine when it is physically touched to start and stop the water flow. I have two of these faucets that were professionally installed at the same time and the other faucet is working ok.
Asked by: LoveDeltaFaucets
Hi Dave, You may delete the "Re-activate Sensor on 538T-SS-DST" question in its entirety. After several attempts, I was able to re-activate the sensor feature using the same de-activating procedures. I do however recommend the "Quick Tips" instructions which state the procedures for the sensor that came with the faucet be added to your website. I finally found my hard copy of these "Quick Tips" but would have been helpful if the website had them available. Thanks.

Please explain the differences between Lahara faucet 15938t and 538t?

Asked by: mamie
Hi, Richard! Thank you for your question. The 538T-DST faucet is a Touch Proximity faucet that you're able to 'wave' your hand at the faucet to turn on and off the faucet. You can also touch the faucet to turn on as well! The 15938T-DST is a Touch faucet only. It does not have the Touch Proximity where you can 'wave' your hand at the faucet to turn on and off. Best Regards, Rosanna

If this faucet it turned on manually and left on, will it turn off automatically, or just remain on indefinitally?

Asked by: SSgtGuy
Hi SSgtGuy, Thank you for your question! With the Touch2O feature on, the faucet will need to be activated by touch or proximity, and will automatically shut off after 2 minutes. In manual mode (power supply removed) the faucet will not automatically shut off. Best regards, Jon
