Red is hot, Blue is cold
Once installed it was apparent that the hot and cold water lines were mismarked. It required the lines to be repositioned. Not a happy experience for the cost of the product.

I just bought this faucet after reviewing many. I’m glad I picked it, easy to install and the perfect size. Here’s hoping it lasts for many years like other Delta faucets I have had.

I love the Touch 20 feature!
We've had our faucet installed 2 weeks now, and I love it! I love the Touch feature. When someone doesn't use the touch feature, then it messes you up the next time you want it on, so you need to train everyone in the house! I also like the pull down sprayer and how it clips back in so well. I am very happy with my purchase!

Average At Best
We have had trouble with the faucet coming loose from the counter, the cartridge in the handle sticks making it difficult to use & the shut off area is so tight that it takes a bit to make sure its not dripping.
I gave it 3 stars for excellent customer service follow up trying to help fix the issues. Faucet itself is more like 2 stars.

Wonderful finish and easy to install.
Installed this unit about two weeks ago and I consider myself a novice plumber ( Like, I know how to turn the water on and off ). The one issue I had to figure out was after flushing the lines I had very low water flow on the "Hot" side. I ended up watching a youtube video and learned how to take the unit handle apart. I found what I'll describe as small black rubber chunks lodged in the hot water side. I used a toothpick to pry them out ( about 5-6 of them) and put the handle back together. The water pressure is perfect. I chose this faucet because it has a 9" reach and the head is angled at about a 35 degree angle instead of shooting straight down. This specifically was what we wanted for our farm style sink.

Be sure to measure
Bought this product for kitchen but it doesn't extend far enough over the sink so there is water splashed against the back splash, counter top and window sill every time it's turned on. Be sure to take that measurement!!

Hot/Cold control
When using the faucet at low flow it is next to impossible to adjust the handle to a position that provides warm water. The setting between scalding hot and cold is negligible. I’ve marked the valve body with an adjacent mark on the handle in what should be a neutral position. In this position at one point the water is cold, and in a second use the water is scalding.

Stuck in both streams
Spray always stuck in both stream and spray. Cleaned it with white vinegar and water as recommended. Still stuck in both stream no matter what button is selected. The cost to replace this AND my faulty cartridge is ridiculous!

Q&A
I plan to replace my kitchen faucet with the Leland 9178-AR-DST. The 9178 spec sheet indicates that the temperature handle movement is from centerline of the body away from the sink. The Q&A seems to contradict this. Please clarify?
Hello TomA1,
Thank you for your question. The handle of the Delta Leland Pull-down Kitchen 9178-AR-DST faucet operates by moving/pushing it away/outwards from the faucet to turn on the cold water. Rotating the handle towards the back to adjust for warm and hot water.
Best regards,
Tanya

What should the hole size in the counter be for a 9178-SP-DST
Thank you for your question, Bobby! We recommend a hole size of 1 3/8". Please refer to the Technical Specifications for this and other measurements:

We have Frigidaire's Gallery series stainless steel appliances in our kitchen (Like this: https://www.frigidaire.com/Kitchen-Appliances/Refrigerators/French-Door-Refrigerator/FGHB2868TF/). Will the Arctic Stainless or Spotshield Stainless match better?
Hi, agolin!
Thank you for your question. Arctic Stainless is a brushed finish like Stainless Steel. Over the years, the color of stainless steel used on appliances and sinks has migrated from warmer tones, with more red in the color spectrum, to lighter tones where blue is more predominant. Arctic Stainless features cooler metallic tones, following a trend seen throughout the kitchen. Stainless Steel is has warmer tones, similar to brushed nickel.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

Hi. A new water meter was just installed at my home and I've lost prssure in my kitchen faucet. The City said I need to remove the aerator and rinse it, but I can't see how to remove that. The pressure is low on all three of the settings. Can you help me?
Hi, Maritxu!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 9178-SP-DST faucet sprayer aerator assembly can be removed with an aerator wrench. The aerator wrench kit is part number RP50815. Here is a link to the part:

I have questions about the Delta Leland kitchen faucet. First, what is the difference between arctic stainless and spot shield stainless? Which one is more likely to match the color of a basic stainless sink? Does the handle move forward and backward?
Hi, Mello!
Thank you for your question. Arctic Stainless is a brushed finish like Stainless Steel. Over the years, the color of stainless steel used on appliances and sinks has migrated from warmer tones, with more red in the color spectrum, to lighter tones where blue is more predominant. Arctic Stainless features cooler metallic tones, following a trend seen throughout the kitchen. SpotShield Stainless is a spot-resistant, warm, low-gloss finish with warmer tones, similar to brushed nickel.
The Delta 9178-SP-DST Faucet handle rotates forward for hot water.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

Is this faucet manufactured in the USA?
Thank you for your question, LeeB! We're proud to manufacture most of our products at our plants in Jackson TN, Morgantown KY, Lapeer MI, and Greensburg, IN. The location information on the back of the box will tell you where each specific model was made.

Our old faucet is 2 handle and spout. Will the eschelon cover the old holes? Also is there a plug for where the old sprayer is?
Home Depot has hole covers. Less than $5.00
Date published: 2024-03-28
When searching this model on the online sites they do not indicate the sprayshield technology - when was it introduced on this model and how do ensure I get one with this feature if I place an order with them? Thanks
Hello, Cloogs. Thank you for your question! The ShieldSpray version began shipping in December of 2017. Please check with the vendor to ensure that they are offering the version with ShieldSpray. The product description should indicate if the faucet will have this feature.
Best regards, Jon
