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. Delta® ShieldSpray® Technology cleans with laser-like precision while containing mess and splatter. A concentrated jet powers away stubborn messes while an innovative shield of water contains splatter and clears off the mess, so you can spend less time soaking, scrubbing and shirt swapping. 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*. Kitchen faucets with Touch-Clean® Spray Holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with the touch of a finger. You can install with confidence, knowing that Delta faucets are backed by our Lifetime Limited Warranty. *Industry standard is based on ASME A112.18.1 of 500,000 cycles.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Ok for a while, but doesn't last Started out ok, but over time it didn't age well. The cartridge needs replaced repeatedly and only lasts maybe a year before it starts leaking again. The finish (as you can see in the photos) didn't last at all on the venetian bronze finish. The connection to the pull down sprayer is rusting.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Doesn’t last long Needed a new cartridge after a year. Delta said they would only supply 1 for the life of the faucet. A year later the new one is failing and the screw to remove the handle to replace the $50 cartridge has seized so the faucet need to be replaced. Garbage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Cut Above Great faucet, so easy to maneuver, love the bronze color. Also have the soap dispenser, and a lot of new faucets do not come with soap dispensers, and if you have had a previous one that could be a problem. I can definitely tell it is well made and worth the additional money we spent. You can shop the big box stores but their faucets will all be builder grade (low end). Kick it up a notch or two or three and go with a faucet that’s going to perform better and longer.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from it's fine enough Installed one of these 15 years ago. It's been a fine faucet. The little cap that covers the set screw was lost almost immediately. Today I replaced it with the same faucet and what do you know, the little plastic cap doesn't fit to cover the set screw at all. HOW have you guys not figured out in 15 years of selling this thing that the little plastic cap doesn't fit into the set screw. The shape is completely different. I tried to glue it but I'm definitely losing it into my garbage disposal eventually. The rest of the faucet is good and fine. Just a super annoying lapse in attention to detail.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Looks good. Design needs work - see my mod! Why do they think the nozzle should be about 6" above the sink rim? This causes splashing above the sink rim I extended with a stainless spring. FREE DESIGN TIP!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Started dripping within months Had a plumber purchase and install this faucet. It was ok for a few months and then started dripping. After reading some of these reviews I’m thinking I need to replace the cartridge, but I kept thinking it was too soon. I should still be under warranty but the plumber disposed of the packaging. Is there anywhere else to find this information?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super cool spray options! This faucet offers three distinct spray options and one is like the fountain at the Bellagio! Well maybe not quite as elaborate but very fun to watch. There is a center jet that can be directed and the outer spray is swirly.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Looks great ….not happy with the diamond cartridge I've hd this installed when i had a granite top installed about 5 years ago still looks great. Not very pleased with the “diamond cartridge” i had to replace it twice, this time will be #3 . The first time it leaked into,the sink, the second time under the sink and onto the floor which had to be replaced…..in their defense they did send me a replacement cartridge free of charge. Now it is leaking again. Not sure what to do this time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Replacement Delta Kitchen Faucet Overall a good product. Looks great. Very easy to install. No issues, no leaks. One change I would recommend is go back to earlier version of spray nozzle. The “shield spray” is gimmicky at best and ineffective. It significantly reduces the effectiveness of the spray mode.
Date published: 2024-04-20
Rated 1 out of 5 by from A startling decline in quality My previous Leland lasted from 2008 until August of 2021 when the aerator began to deteriorate. Because at some point they changed the design of the Leland, I wound up having to get an entirely new faucet which Delta provided under warranty. I had to get this installed at considerable expense, and exactly 1 year later (08/22) I had to have them send me a new cartridge under warranty because it wouldn't close completely and it leaked. It is now 3/1/24 and it's leaking again, and will need its third cartridge in 3 years. Keep in mind my original made it 12 years on one cartridge. Furthermore, the old Leland used a mechanical clip to retain the sprayer head, but the new one uses a magnet. That magnet failed almost immediately and now the sprayer head just hangs. Overall I am incredibly disappointed in the nosedive in quality that Delta has apparently taken. This is also a $650 faucet, not the $59 Lowe's builder special, which makes this dismal quality all that more unacceptable. Do better, Delta.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from 2nd one and also JUNK!!! The second Leland and it's JUNK just like the first oneIt is very difficult to get this faucet in the exact position where it doesn't drip. There are many reviews saying the same, and I am frankly baffled that there are so many 5 star reviews as well. Delta's response is to engage in a lengthy process to flush out the hot and cold lines. I had this faucet for about 9 months and finally threw it out. The faucet I replaced it with requires no such flushing and easily turns off without drips. In my opinion this faucet design is defective and should not be sold.  Bought the 9178 DST it has very little water flow from it . All water lines were flushed. I would never recommend this faucet to anyone. e to hire my plumber to replace. To date, I will have spent too much time and effort phoning Delta and almost as much on my plumber as I have these faucets. Although I love the look, I can't afford to use Delta products ever again. So disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from solid faucet no complaints good pressure and temp select, install was easy with included wrench. magnet failed within 6mos, but delta sent replacement magnets and it's been 3yrs no issues. cleaned out both screens once a year (not hard water) had some problems with dripping bit tightened up the bolt behind sprayer and not an issue. can't take apart sprayer head with wrench...way too hard as there's a slight leak from bottom (separate from the stream or sprayer) and I bet a clean out would help, but it's stuck and included wrench with teeth cams out before i can loosen it...very minor beef after 3 yeara. LOVE THAT LASER STREAM!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE THIS FAUCET 😍 We've only ever purchased faucets from Amazon and box stores like home depot, only to have them fall apart within a year, at the most. This time, at the suggestion of friends who are contractors, we purchased our delta faucet from a local contractors warehouse. It was considerably more than the diy home improvement boxstores for the seemingly same product. But the quality of the overall weight, metal and other components is far superior and worth the price. Apparently manufacturers use a different grade of metals for faucets sold through an actual contractor's store versus the box stores even though on the surface they look the same. I have to say, even though I balked at this initially, and cringed at the price difference for what looked to be the same item, there's absolutely no comparison. I'll never go back to Amazon or the box stores for another faucet again. We had purchased the Delta Leland model #9178ARDST, Clos to 3 years ago and I absolutely love it and have not had a single problem with it falling apart or any other mechanical issues

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great faucet if you can stop it from leaking! I bought this 978-SD-DST faucet in August of 2022. It has performed fine until about a week ago when it refused to shut off. I followed the maintenance directions in the installation instructions but it failed to correct the problem. I have contacted Delta in the hope that they will send a new cartridge ASAP, as I hate to waste water, especially like this. Maybe they can send two, so when this fails again in a year or two, I will be prepared.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not a happy Delta customer I've had this faucet for almost 3 years. I had to replace the DIAMOND Seal handle cartridge in October of 2022. I need to replace it again, Adjusting the water temperature is impossible and very frustrating with this faucet. It's either screaming hot, or not hot enough. I am seriously considering replacing it altogether.
Date published: 2023-11-26
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Looks great, not happy with shut off I purchased Delta - 9178-SP-DST three years ago and while it still looks great, it constantly needs the Cartridge - DIAMOND™ Valve - 1H replaced. Thankfully the company sent me three replacements. But very unhappy to have to keep installing the part every year. Thankfully my neighbor is a contractor. Looks like I have to call and ask for more cartridges again. Maybe I got a lemon?!

Does the aerator wrench RP50815 come with Faucet 9178?

We had the faucet professional installed and I cannot find any such wrench, but the aerator needs cleaned. Do I have to purchase this separately? Thank you.
Asked by: CMPAZ81
Hi CMPAZ81, Thank you for your question. The faucet does come with the aerator wrench. Please check under the sink, as the aerator wrench is designed to clip onto the PEX supply lines. Best regards, Jon

Hello Is the faucet hose made out of braided metal and rubber? I have a latex/rubber allergy and wanted to see if this would work or not. Thanks.

Asked by: Julio
Hello Julio, Thank you for your inquiry! The hose assembly of the Delta Leland Pull-Down Kitchen 9178-RB-DST faucet is rubber with a nylon braided covering. Best regards, Tanya

Does the faucet spray wand return to the dock when you let it go or do you need to push it back into the dock?

Asked by: Barbara
Thank you for your question, Barbara! The wand should be manually returned to the spout when you are finished as it will not retract automatically. The hose weight and MagnaTite docking will ensure that the wand stays secure and in the right position every time. Best regards, Jon

Venetian Bronze Color

Does the Venetian Bronze faucet coordinate with oil rubbed bronze cabinet hardware?
Asked by: Sophie
Hello Sophie, Thanks for your question! It's always a good idea to take the cabinet hardware and other accessories to a Delta Faucet showroom to see if your chosen hardware will match the faucet and vice versa. The color of the hardware will ultimately depend on the manufacturer, so we couldn't say if it would definitely match. However, Venetian Bronze would probably match an oil rubbed bronze finish, but whether or not it looks good together is ultimately up to you. I hope this helps!

Is the pull-down hose long enough for farm sink?

What is the length of the pull-down hose? Is the pull-down hose long enough to reach the bottom and all corners of a farm sink (Kohler Undermount Farm Sink, 9.625" D, 21.625" W, 32.6875" L)?
Asked by: didibaby
Hi didibaby, Thank you for your question. The hose is 54" in length and will provide approximately 22" of reach from the end of the spout. Best regards, Jon

I am concerned with flow rate on this faucet. I have found conflicting info on the flow rate. Some sites say 1.8 GPM while others say 2.2 GPM. I want

I want a faucet with at least 2.2GPM or higher.
Asked by: Carly
Hi Carly, Thank you for your question. The model 9178-RB-DST comes with an aerator with a flow rate of 1.8 gpm. You can order RP53998 which is a 2.2 gpm aerator to raise the flow rate for this particular model. None of our pull down faucets come with a flow rate of 2.2 gpm. Thanks, Dave
