Perfect Faucet
The faucet's design allow plenty of space for large pots. I like the handle on the side. I don't drip water everywhere when I turn the water off like my other one. The sprayer is small and not cumbersome to use. Very happy with my new faucet.

Faulty Valve
This faucet looks good and performs well, except it's extremely difficult to close completely. The reviews I read mentioned that and it certainly is true. I think Delta needs to fix this.

Beautiful design and features
We have had this faucet for a month. It was easy to install, but even better is the beautiful design, “splashless” and forceful spray, and truly stainless and spotless finish. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommended.

Attractive and So Functional
We bought this as part of a kitchen re-do. It goes so well with our dark stainless steel appliances and brushed nickel door hardware.
We love the variety of streams / sprays available. Being able to use the head as a hand sprayer is very convenient. And the ease of regulating the water flow fate proves very handy.

We hated the faucet that came with our house. I did some research and found that Detla is an amazing brand with no leakage or failure issues. We bought this faucet and I installed it myself.

Quality product
I purchased this a little while ago for a counter and sink remodel. I spent quite a bit of time sorting through reviews and finally came back to Delta. I’ve had Delta products exclusively in my home for 28 years and they have stood behind every faucet I own. This faucet has great extension for our oversized sink, and the pressures are spot on for filling pots, rinsing loose food and the spot high pressure jet with the spray shield works really well too. Installation keeps getting easier, I literally installed this in less than 10 minutes. No leaks and well thought out. I passed on several “commercial” style units because they look good when they aren’t in use, but lack in many areas during use. I’m picky on a focal piece of plumbing and I am happy to say this has met all my needs and expectations.

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
