Asked by: Wayne
Dear Wayne, Thank you for your question. The Technical Specifications for the Delta Leland Pull-down kitchen faucet 9178-AR-DSTmodel, lists the holes size as 1 3/8" (35 mm). i have included the document below. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-19978-SD-DST%20Rev%20C.pdf Best regards, Tanya

I purchased the 9178-AR-DST less than a year ago.  I am having trouble figuring out what position the handle needs to be in for cold water.  Please help.  Is there a manual I can look at?

Asked by: Barb
Thank you for your question, Barb! When the faucet is installed with the handle on the right, the full cold position is when the handle is tilted away from the faucet and toward you. Moving it away from you will increase the temperature and moving it toward the faucet will reduce the volume. Best regards, Jon

Is the faucet intentionally set to the return to the center automatically?

Asked by: daryl
Thank you for your question, Daryl. The spout is not designed to center automatically. Please check to make sure that the hose is not twisted or catching on anything below the sink and that the faucet is installed on a level surface. Best regards, Jon

Can the faucet handle be mounted on the left side rather than the right?  If not, is there a similar faucet with a left side handle?

Asked by: Diane
Hello Diane, Thank you for your inquiry! We recommend installing the Delta Linden Pull-Down Kitchen 9178-AR-DST faucet with the handle on the right. You may install it with the handle on the front or left side, but the temperature adjustment will be opposite of the standard operation for single handle faucets. You can compensate for this by swapping the hot and cold supply lines under the sink. However, the red/blue button will no longer indicate the correct temperature. Best regards, Tanya

I intend to take this faucet to brazil.

water pressure is from gravity of storage tank on the roof of houses. May question is: the aerator which is design to reduce pressure fow of water in USA will not restrict too much the flow coming from gavity? perhapps I drill the aerator to give more flow?
Asked by: cesar
Hi Cesar, Thank you for your question. The model 9178-AR-DST requires a working pressure of 20 PSI. Each foot of elevation that your storage tank is about ground level will give approximately .433 PSI. For example 100' of elevation will result in 34.4 psi. Thanks, Dave

Regarding handle placement and the meaning of 'front' If I'm standing at the sink, is front closer to me and under the spout? Installing on an island where clearance is not a factor, can the handle be in the back, opposite the sink side?

Asked by: lhlin
Thank you for your question, LHLIN! The handle placement in "front" would refer to being under the spout and closest to the user. For an installation where clearance does not matter, you can install this model with the handle facing to the back since the spout swivels 360 degrees. Best regards, Edward

How far back from a farm sink would be a safe installation for this faucet on brand new mica counter tops?
Asked by: new kitchen
new kitchen, Thank you for your question. The spout extends 9 1/4" from the center of the faucet to the center of the aerator and we advise to allow 2 1/2" clearance to the backsplash. However, it is up to you to decide where to install the faucet in your installation. Please refer to the Technical Specifications for more measurements. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-19978-SD-DST%20Rev%20D.pdf Best regards, Jon

Our faucet is almost 10 years old, and it is hard to keep the faucet from dripping.  We have to try a few times and get the on/off mechanism in just the right place for the dripping to stop.  What kind of repair might this faucet need?  Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your question, DavidB! SpotShield Stainless will match the Stainless Steel finish. Artcic Stainless features a cooler color temperature than the warmer Stainless Steel. Best regards, Jon

everywhere online sells this for $179.But on your site & at my local K&B stores it is priced at $385.20? That's a HUGE difference in price! Are there two versions of this product out there? Does the cheaper price mean lesser quality?

Asked by: lefty
Hi Lefty, We appreciate your interest in Delta faucets. All Delta faucets feature the same quality parts, materials, and workmanship, no matter what kind of dealer sells them. The website shows the product at list price. Dealers purchase the product in bulk for selling it readily to consumers, so they are able to offer a much lower price. However, the quality of all Delta faucets are the same. Best regards, Tanya

Why is your list price $404.50 for Delta faucet Leland Model # 9178-ar-dst and And Amazon list price is $208.00 for the same model

Asked by: Rich
Hi, Rich! We appreciate your interest in Delta faucets. All Delta faucets feature the same quality parts, materials, and workmanship, no matter what kind of dealer sells them. Delta retail dealers usually sell faucets that include the handles in the boxes. Plumbing professionals and Delta Studio Showrooms sell faucets where the faucets and handles are packaged and sold separately ("LHP" models), giving the customer some additional styling choices. However, the quality of all Delta faucets is the same. Best Regards, Rosanna

Does the Model # 9178-AR-DST come with a cover/escutcheon?

I see where a previous questioner was told that the stainless steel (SS) model comes with an escutcheon. But, does the Arctic Steel as well? I read a review of the Model # 9178-AR-DST on an authorized retailer's site that complained that their AR did NOT come with the escutcheon, which I believe is a cover that sits at the base of the faucet, to cover any additional holes used by a previously-installed faucet. The photograph of the faucet does NOT show such a cover. Thank you!
Asked by: Stuart
Yes, it does! I asked that question before I purchased mine and verified it at the store at the time of purchase.

I have the delta 9178-AR-DST kitchen faucet. It was already installed when i moved in. The faucet base moves too freely and thespout moves completely all the way around. Is this normal? I was not left with the wrench that came with this to tighten any nut

Asked by: George
Hi, George! Thank you for your question. The Delta 9178-AR-DST faucet spout does swivel 360 degrees. The base assembly should not move. We do recommend to seal the escutcheon plate (base assembly) with silicon sealant to the sink or counter to secure this. Best Regards, Rosanna
