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.
  • 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
  • CORROSION-RESISTANT FINISH: Brilliance® finishes are engineered for durability and tested for corrosion resistance to at least 2 times industry standards
  • 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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Faucet I really like how easy this faucet is to use. My husband wanted no parts of a touch less faucet. I loved the style of Kate and the installation was a breeze. Delta reputation made this an easy pick

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.

Hello, can the Kate soap dispenser be filled with foaming soap?  Thanks!

Asked by: Stuman74
Hello Stuman74, Thank you for your question. Soap Dispensers can use liquid dish soap, liquid hand soap, alcohol based hand-sanitizer,and even typical hand lotions. Foaming soap will pump from the soap dispenser but it will not foam. Best regards, Jon

Why do Delta single control faucets require 2.5 inches to backsplash? I only have 2 inches so does that mean Delta is a non-option for me?

Asked by: 300m
Thank you for your question, 300m! We recommend a minimum 2 1/2" (64 mm) clearance to the back splash in order to provide comfortable room for handle operation or for a lift rod concerning a lavatory faucet that uses a stopper assembly. This is also advised for the consideration of ease of install or repairs. This model will still work for your installation however. Best regards, Edward
