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.
FULL-RANGE, FLEXIBLE REACH: High-arc kitchen faucet swivels 360° with a 20-inch retractable hose for easier cleaning, filling and rinsing around the sink
MAGNETIC DOCKING SPRAYER: MagnaTite® Docking uses a powerful magnet to keep your pull-down kitchen faucet sprayer securely in place and prevent drooping over time
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
LASTS 2X LONGER: Patented DIAMOND Seal® Technology reduces leak points and lasts 2X as long as the industry standard for long-lasting, leak-free performance (Industry standard based on ASME A112.18.1 of 500,000 cycles)
LEAK-FREE SUPPLY LINES YOU CAN TRUST: Delta® PEX supply lines are tested to withstand 20% more extreme pressure for 1,000 hours without leaking—far beyond plumbing standards
EASY INSTALLATION OPTIONS: This kitchen sink faucet fits 2 or 3-hole, 4 in configurations and includes integrated InnoFlex® PEX supply lines for faster installation
QUICK-CLEAN SPRAY HOLES: Touch-Clean® spray holes let you easily wipe away calcium and lime buildup with the touch of a finger
MATCHING ACCESSORY INCLUDED: Comes with a coordinating soap dispenser with 8 oz. reservoir
LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY: Designed for lasting reliability and backed by Delta Faucet Company's Lifetime Limited Warranty

What is the best way to polish the brushed stainless steel faucets?
Asked by: MEC227
Hi MEC227,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 16970-SD-DST Kate® Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet With Soap Dispenser. We will be happy to assist you as quickly as possible.
Avoid using harsh abrasives or polishes on the faucet. To clean, simply wipe gently with a damp cloth and blot dry with a soft towel. Stubborn hard water spots are best avoided by this daily regime. If extra measures are needed, a solution of 50% distilled white vinegar (not apple cider or balsamic vinegar) and water could be used by wiping, spraying, or soaking. Make certain that you rinse the surface thoroughly with water afterward and wipe dry.

The swivel spout would be attached with a spacer or clip, part number RP60923. See the faucet parts diagram for the clip that should be used with the shape of your faucet connection. With the clip in place, the spout is pushed down on the clip and snaps on.
