PRODUCT FEATURES
Touch it on. Touch it off. Whether you have two full hands or 10 messy fingers, Delta® Touch2O® Technology helps keep your faucet clean, even when your hands aren’t. A simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle with your wrist or forearm activates the flow of water at the temperature where your handle is set. The Delta TempSense™ LED light changes color to alert you to the water’s temperature and eliminate any possible surprises or discomfort.

Q&A

Please compare the 9159T-DST model to the 9959T- DST (bar/prep)

Asked by: ConsueloTheCook
Hello there ConsueloTheCook, Thank you for your question. The Delta Trinsic 9159T-DST Kitchen and 9959T-DST Bar/Prep faucet have the same design and touch feature. The only difference is that the Bar/Prep faucet is smaller in size than the Kitchen faucet model. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-9159T-DST%20Rev%20E.pdf Best regards, Tanya

Trinsic 9959-DST

I'd like to install the Trinsic 9959-DST bar faucet in my kitchen. I have a 3 hole sink. What model escutcheon should I use? I have an escutcheon for my current faucet and want to know if I'll be able to use it. The current faucet base has a 2 inch diameter. What's the base of the 9959-DST? Are there other factors in selecting the appropriate escutcheon? Thickness? I don't know what brand or style the existing escutcheon is. See photo. Thanks.
Asked by: Just want to ask a question.
Use the escutcheon that comes with the faucet. it covers an 8&quot; spread.

What is the 'real' battery lifespan?

I have had my faucet since Jan 2017. I've already had to replace the batteries once(March) and now the red light is blinking yet again. What is the problem? Manual states the batteries should last 2 years.
Asked by: Shelley C
Hi, Shelley C! Thank you for your question. The battery life depends on the brand of battery you use. Higher quality brand batteries tend to have a longer lifespan than generic brand batteries. Best Regards, Rosanna

Where are the Delta Trinsic Kitchen faucets made?

Asked by: Matt
Thank you for your question, Matt! The back or bottom of the box will tell you where your specific faucet model was made. As our models may be made in different locations depending on available resources, there is not a list saying where each is made. We do manufacture Delta faucets in our plant facilities in Greensburg, Indiana; Jackson, Tennessee; London, Ontario, CA and Panyu, China. No matter where in the world our products are sourced, manufactured or assembled, they are built to Delta Faucet Company&rsquo;s exacting specifications and are quality tested to ensure long-lasting performance.

I&rsquo;m considering buy either the arctic stainless or chrome. &nbsp;I currently have a chrome faucet from another brand and the handle has started to bubble and chip after 6+ years. &nbsp;Have you had any problems with the chrome? &nbsp;Which finish is more popular/durable

Asked by: Kelli
Thank you for your question Kelli! These are both popular finishes, however, Chrome is most commonly purchased for its versatility. Although our finishes are extremely durable, they can be damaged by harsh abrasives, chemicals or polish. To clean, we suggest simply wiping gently with a damp cloth and blotting dry with a soft towel. Best regards, Edward

Can I just use it without the Touch20?

Can I just use the tap manually if I don't put in the batteries? Will it work?
Asked by: Suan
Hi suan25, Thank you for your question! The faucet can be operated manually by disconnecting the battery box while the water is running. It will remain in manual mode until you reconnect the batteries. Another method is to remove the solenoid assembly and connect the hose directly to the faucet under the sink. Best regards, Jon

I've had this faucet for about six months. In the past week, every time I turn the faucet on or off the TempSense light blinks red three times. What does this mean?

Asked by: BenH
Hello, BenH. Thank you for your question! The light will flash red 3 times when the faucet is turned on or off if the batteries are low. We recommend installing a brand new set of non-rechargeable, Duracell or Energizer batteries.

I see you answered the question about it turning on by itself, but you didn&rsquo;t answer why it does this. I&rsquo;ve had mine for several years and this just started happening more, so I changed batteries, but still does this sometimes&nbsp;

Asked by: Donna
Hi, Donna! Thank you for your question. Ghosting from your Touch 2O Faucet can most likely be resolved by adjusting the installation below the sink. Please make sure that no wires are touching metal objects or other wires, and that the battery box is placed on the floor of the cabinet, 2 inches from the sides. Please try unplugging the black LED wire (looks like a headphone jack) and plugging it back in until it clicks. Next, reset the solenoid by removing the cap from the battery box for one minute and reconnecting it. Please also be sure to use a new set of brand name, non-rechargeable batteries. Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social. Best regards, Rosanna Phone: 1-800-345-3358 | Email: customerservice@deltafaucet.com | Facebook/Twitter: @deltafaucet

Is it possible to turn the touch feature off so it operates like a normal faucet?

Asked by: newton123
Hi, Newton123! Thank you for your question. The Delta 9159-DST Faucet can be operated manually without the Touch2O Function. For manual operation, first turn the handle to the 'off' position. Under the sink, make sure you have a bucket and towels ready for any excess water coming out. Remove the two blue clips on the top and bottom of the solenoid assemblies. Remove the water lines from the top and bottom of the solenoid. Remove the solenoid assembly entirely. Connect the two water lines together and secure with one of the blue clips. Turn the handle to the 'on' position to test. Best Regards, Rosanna

My faucet won't turn completely off when using the touch feature. How can this be fixed?

The touch feature works fine when turning on the faucet. But, last week the faucet continues to allow a small stream of water when I use the touch feature. It's more than just a drip. It will turn completely off when I use the handle. The faucet is about 1 year old.
Asked by: Jeff
Hi, Jeff. Thank you for your question, and I am sorry that you are experiencing a leak from your faucet. Leaking from the faucet in the touch off mode comes from debris inside the solenoid. You may flush the solenoid by following these next steps. 1. Turn the water supply by putting your handle in the manual off position. 2. Disconnect the sprayer hose by removing the blue retaining clip. 3. Place a bucket under the male adapter coming out from the solenoid. 4. Run water into the bucket for 2-3 minutes. Debris located inside the solenoid should be flushed out after completing these steps. Best Regards, Rosanna

Can I disable the &quot;auto off&quot; feature?

Our sink which has the Delta Faucet is located on an outside wall. As the temperatures plummet this winter, we would like to leave this Faucet on a slow drip overnight. The StartUp Guide has no information on how we might temporarily disable the &quot;auto off&quot; feature so that we can keep water moving through the pipes during periods of frigid temperatures.
Asked by: CFaivre
Hi CFaivre, Thank you for your question. The auto shut off is a safety feature of our touch faucets. To turn off the auto shut-off, you would need to fully remove the solenoid assembly. Best regards, Tanya

I recently purchased a condo that has a model 9159T faucet. The water here has some sediment and the flow seems to be restricted. Can the end piece be taken apart for cleaning? Is soaking it in a vinegar/water solution the only way to clean the head?

Asked by: Mike
Hi, Mike! Thank you for your question. The sprayer assembly for the Delta 9159T-DST faucet can be removed from the hose assembly to be soaked in a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water mix. This can be soaked for an hour or even overnight to clean any debris that may cause the flow issue. Best Regards, Rosanna

How do I clean the screen at the end of my Trinsic faucet?

Why don't you post a maintenance manual on your website? With my old faucet, it was easy to unscrew the end of the faucet to clean out any particles/junk that were impeding the water flow. I need to do this with this faucet, but the construction of the faucet is very different and a visual guide would be helpful. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Asked by: Katie
Hi Katie, Thank you for your question. Please refer to page 51 of the instructions linked below for help. To clean the screen, unscrew the wand assembly from the hose. We recommend to soak the wand in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water for about 15 minutes and then rinse and wipe it off to help remove mineral buildup. https://media.deltafaucet.com/QuickstartDiagram/QS-82180%20Rev%20E.pdf Best regards, Jon
