Works well and beautiful finish
Nice faucet. Expensive but nicer than any other brands. Looks great in space. All out faucets are Delta and have been dependable with great warranty.

Indefensible handle design
The handle falls off. Delta provided a new handle under warranty and we paid a plumber to install it. But the new handle fell off within a week. It's the worst design for a handle I have ever seen. I use a rubber band to keep the handle on the most expensive faucet I have ever purchased.

The spray nodule did not sit flush within the faucet base. For the amount we paid for this faucet, we should not encounter these issues.

Q&A
Why can't I remove the screen to remove build-up of sludge from water system
this faucet continues to minimize and then just about eliminate flow. The screen area is sealed preventing cleaning. I am frustrated.
There is a YouTube video illustrating how to disassemble the wand and clean it. Here are the steps:
1. Use small screw driver at top of button to pop it off.
2. Remove the Phillips head set screw.
3. Slide interior assembly down slightly to expose set screw hole in small plastic "cam" piece.
4. Pop out (from bottom) the small plastic "cam" piece.
5. Slide interior assembly down to completely remove.
6. Unscrew the bottom part (about 1/2" long) of interior assembly.
7. Clean both parts of interior assembly (this will be obvious!).
Reassemble the wand assembly by repeating the above steps in reverse order. Replace the button (last reassembly step) by pushing in bottom part first. If button does not work, remove and try again. This took me several tries.
Here is the link to the YouTube video, which is not mine, but was very helpful:

What are the differences between models?
What are the differences between the Trinsic model 9159-AR-DST and the Allentown model 19935-SSSD-DST sold thru Home Depot? What would I get for an extra $200?
Hi CharlieQW, Thank you for your question. The main difference between the 9159-AR-DST and the 19935-SSSD-DST is in the styling of the faucet. Both faucets are pulldown spray models with magnedock, touch clean sprayheads, and our Diamand Seal Technology cartridges.
Thanks,
Dave

Is there a way to increase the water flow to 2.2 gpm?
We are looking for a new kitchen faucet and like this model, but we have low water pressure at our kitchen sink and would like to NOT have the flow restricted to 1.8 gpm. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 9159-AR-DST is set at 1.8 gpm at 60 psi. This is to follow today's water legislation. We do not offer a higher gpm aerator for this model.
Date published: 2024-03-28
Is there a filter that can be cleaned out in the pull down part of the faucet where it screws off?
Thank you for your question, Tammy! There is a screen where the spray wand connects to the hose that you can check for debris. You can also soak the complete wand in a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution to help dissolve any mineral buildup.
Best regards, Jon

Hi, Bunni!
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there is not a limit stop to get hotter water for this faucet.

How far over sink does it project?
Without using the pull-out, how far over the sink does the faucet extend? In other words, what is the distance from the hole in the counter to the stream of water? I need a faucet that will clear the edge of my sink and not be too close
Hi TPOD, Thank you for your question. The measurement from the faucet center(center of hole) to the center of the water stream is 9-1/2". Here is a link to the model 9159-AR-DST spec sheet with this information.

Flow rate
I had this faucet installed in a kitchen remodel. It's beautiful and looks great in my kitchen. It works great in "spray" mode, but in the "regular" flow seems very slow/weak to me. Could something be wrong with the faucet, or the installation? I read in one of the customer reviews that the flow seems to be somewhat of a "low flow". I'm just wondering if this is intended, or if we did something wrong. Thanks!
The wand assembly probably needs to be taken apart and cleaned. There is a YouTube video illustrating this. Here are the steps:
1. Use small screw driver at top of button to pop it off.
2. Remove the Phillips head set screw.
3. Slide interior assembly down slightly to expose set screw hole in small plastic "cam" piece.

What type of cleaner do you recommend for the Artic Stainless finish?
Hi Karen, Thank you for your question!
Here is the cleaning and care information for our Delta products below:
Always blot dry any water from faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward.
If additional cleaning is required, all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners: Formula 409® Antibacterial All Purpose Cleaner, Fantastik® All Purpose Cleaner, or Windex® Original Glass Cleaner, when used according to the manufacturers' instructions for use.
Avoid using the following which can damage your finish:
Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Basin Tub, Soft Scrub, and Tile Cleaner.
Avoid products that state on the label that they remove tarnish and rust, and those containing hydrofluoric, hydrochloric and/or phosphoric acids and caustic agents.
Avoid harsh abrasives or polishes
Avoid bleach-based cleaners

Brandis

Ive decided on this faucet but wonder what the difference is between the colours. I am torn between arctic stainless, chrome or stainless black. I have a grey granite sink. Is arctic stainless matte and chrome shiny?Is black a charcoal grey ?
Thank you for your review, Sharon! The Chrome finish will always be reflective or mirror-like. The Arctic Stainless Steel finish is a brushed finish with a cooler blue tone than our typical Stainless Steel. Black Stainless is also less reflective but darker than Stainless or Arctic Stainless.

Available in regular stainless steel?
Is there anyway to get this product in regular stainless? It seems sort of nuts that the most popular option is not available.
Thanks,
-Ben
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 9159-AR-DST is not available in Stainless Steel. The Artic Stainless finish was designed to replace stainless steel in the kitchen and it more closely resembles the stainless steel finish of appliances out in the market today. It has a bluish tint to it and the stainles steel is more gold tinted. The Stainless Steel finish will remain in the bath faucets to match accessories there.

How do you remove the sprayer/nozzle to clean?
I'd like to check the inside of the sprayer/nozzle if there is any build-up or debris. The flow from it has seemed very slow/low lately. The button on the sprayer is also very tough to press.
Dear Fcradit,
Thank you for your question! If debris is trapped in the wand assembly, please remove the wand from the hose and try lightly tapping it upside-down on the counter. You may also try soaking it in a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution for about 15 minutes to help remove minerals.
Best regards,
Tanya

Renovating my kitchen and am interested in this Trinsic faucet. Does the water flow from the aerator at an angle (if so what angle)or straight down?
Also, may be better off with the Bar/Prep model (#9959 AR) which seems to have the same spout height despite the decreased overall height. What is the angle of water from that spout? Any other differences between the two models?
Thank you for your interest in Delta Faucet Trinsic. The Bar/Prep model #9959-AR-DST has a spout total height of 13" . The Kitchen model #9159-AR-DST has a spout total height of 15 3/4". Attached is a video specifically created for the Trinsic series!

What's the difference between this product and the one sold in Lowes as Trask 19933-SD-DST? There's a difference of over $100 (list price) .......
What's the difference between this product and the one sold in Lowes as Trask 19933-SD-DST? There's a difference of over $100 (list price) and the one from Lowes comes with a soap dispenser and is slightly taller.
In addition to what you've already mentioned, I noticed that the valve names are different: The Trinsic uses the Diamond Seal Valve; the Trask uses the Euromotion Diamond Valve. Also, the handle styling is slightly different between the two (the Trinsic is skinnier.)

Someone responded that the sprayer is plastic. Are they saying that the pull out section (like the last 2 inches on the faucet) is plastic or do they mean the inside assembly of the sprayer is plastic. Also, is the water aerated?
Thank you for your inquiry, David! The sprayer/wand assembly of the Delta Trinsic Pull-Down Kitchen 9159-DST faucet is non metallic and it operates in an aerated or spray mode via ergonomic buttons.
