PRODUCT FEATURES
The pull-down spray wand comes free with a gentle tug and gives you total flexibility. The hose extends and retracts without friction points, fed by gravity. As you raise the wand to dock it, the magnet embedded in the spout pulls the wand precisely into place. So, unlike other pull-downs that tend to droop over time, MagnaTite® keeps your pull-down faucet looking picture-perfect. Delta's exclusive DIAMOND Seal® Technology uses a valve with a tough diamond coating. InnoFlex® PEX waterways keep water inside the faucet out of contact with potential metal contaminants. This powerful combination brings you a faucet built to last up to five million uses. Only Delta faucets are equipped with Touch-Clean® soft, rubber nubbins that allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with the touch of a finger.
  • LEAD-FREE COMPLIANT: Not all faucets are certified to necessary safety standards. Delta goes above and beyond with product testing and quality to ensure each faucet meets plumbing safety standards, including NSF/ANSI 61 and 372.  
  • MagnaTite docking keeps the kitchen pull-down spray wand firmly in place with a powerful integrated magnet, so it stays docked when not in use
  • DIAMOND Seal Technology features a valve embedded with diamonds to ensure like-new operation for the life of the faucet
  • Includes matching finish soap dispenser
  • Meets standards set by Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Touch-Clean spray holes allow for easy removal of hard water build-up
  • 3-hole 6-16 in. installation
  • The high-arc, gooseneck design swivels 360 degrees with a 20-in. retractable hose for added convenience during everyday kitchen tasks

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Falling apart This completely fell apart :( The hose portion just dangles and the handle to turn the water on/off doesnt turn off properly without a lot of maneuvering. Also, it doesnt maneuver in a way that captures any cold water at this point either. Lukewarm is the coolest you can get. Just not made well unfortunately :( Do they have replacement parts so I dont have to purchase a completely new faucet?

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I was reading reviews. I just paid for it to be installed and a week later the hot and cold little piece fell out and the handle is loose. Someone else in reviews said the same thing. I just paid a lot for the faucet and for it to be installed. How do I fix it?? It is less than two weeks old.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very nice faucet! Had a plumber install it so I can't comment on that, but I do love the faucet. My only problem is the faucet "hot cold" handle is somewhat loose. I guess the set screw fell out. I don't see that anywhere on the parts list. This is very inconvenitnt as the hardware store guy said I really have to know the size. Set screws are dumb

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent replacement for our 2003 faucet We installed a Delta faucet for our kitchen when we built our home in 2003. This replacement with the pull out faucet is exactly what we needed!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Just Installed - Instructions Don't Quite Match Just installed this product. I'm not a professional installer, so it took an hour or so longer than it should have because the installation instructions/illustrations (both printed included in the box and the same on-line) do not match the product very well. Even the cover page does not match the product. Left me guessing on how to install some pieces.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Dripping We bought new one few months ago, because previous one was dripping(Same faucet) , but this one started dripping too. This one is even worse than previous one.

I owned this faucet for 5 years & LOVE it! But would like to know how I can restrict it's motion so it doesn't swing to far towards the back ledge of my sink that it could flood my counter?

Asked by: Zoegirl
Hi Zoegirl, Thank you for your inquiry! The spout of the Delta Kate Kitchen 16970-SD-DST faucet is designed to swivel/rotate 360˚. There is no way of adjusting this designed feature. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-16970-SD-DST%20Rev%20C.pdf Best regards, Tanya

How does the bonnet come off?

Asked by: Ryan
Hi Ryan, Thank you for your question regarding the bonnet nut of the Delta Kate Kitchen Pull-Down 16970-SD-DST model. Please be sure to turn off the water supplies under the sink before disassembling the faucet. The bonnet nut can be removed by turning it counter-clockwise using an adjustable wrench. Best regards, Tanya

I have a 4 hole sink, can i add a separate hose spray?

Asked by: Ethel
Hi Ethel, Thank you for your question. This model does not have the option of a side sprayer. However, you can use an additional soap dispenser (RP49302) or a hole cover. Best regards, Jon
