PRODUCT FEATURES
Delta® MagnaTite® Docking uses a powerful integrated magnet to pull your faucet spray wand precisely into place and hold it there so it stays docked when not in use.

Replacement
Replaced same model that was 16 years old. Noticed some changes. Water comes out noisier. Replaced braided stainless steel hose with a rubber one. I hope it holds up as well as the previous one. The brushed nickel finish looks almost like stainless steel.

love this faucet
I started with the same faucet design in a different finish. Then when getting new countertops, we switched to a stainless steel sink. I was happy to find the same faucet in a finish which paired with my new sink.

Easy to use and high quality. Plumber installing had to go get an extra part ($). The only thing we don't love is that the extended nozzle needs a real push to get back in the faucet.

Not Satisfied and it's a Waste of Money.
The faucet had a modern design. Unfortunately, when I installed the faucet I was surprised the way the Standard Flow of water was very "LOW". I do not know what's wrong with my new faucet.

Q&A
Is it possible to increase the gpm flow rate of this faucet?
Thank you for your question. We do offer part #RP53998 (2.2 GPM aerator) that will fit Delta Faucet model #9178-SS-DST.

Hello, do all three pieces come with the price that is listed?
Hello Babs,

are there any plastic parts on this faucet?
is the faucet stanless steel or another type metal?

What escutcheon goes with this?
Hello, We are purchasing this faucet (in stainless) which will replace a faucet and separate sprayer. Is there an escutcheon that coordinates with this faucet that has just one hole for the faucet? Thank you.
The Leland is a single hole faucet. You could use a soap dispenser or a hole cover in place of the sparyer hole.
Date published: 2024-03-28
Do I have to order a escutcheon with this model or is it included?
Hi AspenLover,
Thank you for your question! An optional 3-hole escutcheon plate is included.
Best regards, Jon

My counter top has two holes in it, 1 large & 1 small. One is for the faucet & the other for the sprayer. Will I be able to install the Model 9178-RB-DST in it & have the deck plate cover the smaller hole? If no, can you suggest a different model number?
Hi, Kitchen Faucet!
Thank you for your question. We recommend to check the technical specifications sheet for measurements to verify if this faucet will fit in your sink:

What parts are needed for a sinkage hole installation?
We installed this faucet with a base plate to cover pre-drilled holes. We are remodeling with granite countertops and want a single hole installation. We no longer have the box or other parts. What do we need to install this properly? Is an adapter needed?
the multi use wrench which is supplied with the faucet is the only tool you will need for installation. if you install the faucet before the sink is set in place you will have an easier time installing the faucet with or w/o the wrench.

Model 9178DST
Does the screen come off so you can clean out the little flecks of rust?
Hi Kim, Thank you for your question. The cache aerator on the wand of your model 9178-DST is removeable. The faucet shipped with a small blue t-shaped wrench that will help unscrew the aerator. If you do not have the wrench it can be orderd as RP50815.

bjgaudet · 2 years ago I have a Leland 9178-ar-dst faucet that when using the single stream is leaks around the edge and has leaked since just after it was installed less than a year ago.
I have this faucet and have loved it for years. I need to replace the cartridge because it has a small leak. I have the correct 1/8th allen wrench that came with it. However the screw got stripped so I can't remove it. What advice do you have to help me?

Looking at replacing my kitchen faucet. What's the difference between 9178-AR-DST (Arctic Stainless) vs. 9178-SP-DST (Spotshield Stainless) and 9178-DST? And also, what does the DST mean?
Hi Bobby John,
Thank you for your question!
Model 9178-AR-DST has more of a grey tone to it while model 9178-SP-DST has a traditional stainless steel finish. Delta® faucets with DIAMOND™ Seal Technology perform like new for life with a patented design which reduces leak points, is less hassle to install and lasts twice as long as the industry standard*.

I have the Delta Leland 9178-DST Kitchen faucet, and we have trouble getting the faucet to fully shut off. If the handle is not fully centered and pushed upright hard, then the water still runs. It's getting worse over time. What part do I need?

Arctic Stainless is closest to Stainless. Arctic Stainless will also show water spots. We recommend to wipe clean with a soft towel. Our Spot Shield finish is designed to help prevent water spots from forming.

My Delta faucet is leaking from the faucet head (or spout, not sure what to call it). It's model 9178-AR-DST. Can you tell me what I need to do to fix it. I believe I need the RP50587 cartridge valve but I'm not 100% certain. Thanks for your help.
Hi Roy,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 9178-AR-DST. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. We will be happy to assist you in resolving this issue!
