Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch<sub>2</sub>O® and ShieldSpray® Technologies in Chrome
Model#:
9178T-DST
PRODUCT FEATURES
Touch it on. Touch it off. Whether you have two full hands or 10 messy fingers, Delta® Touch2O® Technology helps keep your faucet clean, even when your hands aren’t. A simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle with your wrist or forearm activates the flow of water at the temperature where your handle is set. The Delta TempSense™ LED light changes color to alert you to the water’s temperature and eliminate any possible surprises or discomfort. 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. Electronic parts are backed by our 5-year electronic parts warranty. *Industry standard is based on ASME A112.18.1 of 500,000 cycles.

I bought this a month ago and I am obsessed. It is such a convenience to be able to touch and have the water start/ stop running without having to turn the faucet handle. Plus, it has a very nice design.

Great quality, solid product
having used it have a week or so, love it. Giving 4 stars not 5 bcz sometimes touching it with one finger doesn't work, and the warm water range is too small, a bit hard to adjust, other than that, it's a great product.

Works as advertised
Works great! The only issue we have is that we occasionally have silt release in our pipes (city water) and that silt clogs the faucet head filter which greatly reduces flow. Fortunately, it's about a 5 minute, easy job to clean (after you do it once or twice).

Best faucet in my kitchen in the past 20 years
No fingerprint stainless
The flex hose is very flexible with length to spare.
Small spray head very easy to hold and control.
I splurged and went with the electric touch option. Sooo useful! It takes a few days to master. The water temperature light is also a nice convenience.
Gave 4 instead of 5 stars because I don't like the plate sprayer/maybe produce washer.

Great features
I bought this three weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Great replacement faucet. The only problem when it was installed was the little light did not work and they are replacing that. Enjoy the fact that I can touch it on the neck or the handle have it shut on and off instantly.

Great upgrade
Installed the faucet about a week ago and loving it. Nice upgrade over the existing moen (that started leaking after 5 yrs) that was in our house. The faucet seems well designed and engineered. Instructions and tools provided made install a breeze, besides squeezing myself under the sink. Highly recommend.

The price was right and the product works beautifully. Having three different ways to use the sprayer function is a real benefit. All you have to do is tap the faucet and the water turns on it’s so nice.

Excellent
Easy installation for me, a first time DIYer. The Delta team's YouTube video for the install was very helpful. With a little care and finesse my old faucet hardware came right off and this Delta was a great replacement! Very happy with the look, arctic stainless finish that matches my stainless appliances, and touch and temp sensor.

Very nice, elegant and functions beautifully!
Just got this and had a professional install, worth the extra money to do that. Faucet is great! Word of caution, be sure the sensor wire is free of contact to anything but where it is supposed to be connected. The plumber accidentally left it wrapped around one of the water supply lines and it kept turning on and off by itself. Once it was corrected, it works beautifully!

Love this faucet
This faucet has got to be my favorite.
Is a water saver, easy to operate and was pretty easy to install. I completely repiped my home and used different delta faucets. Very happy with them all.
But this kitchen faucet makes me smile every time I tap it and it starts and stops with just a touch. The sprayer does clog up quickly with mineral hard water but the tool for cleaning out the final aerator is included and is simple to clean and reassemble. Love this faucet, you will be pleased.

Works well so far
I installed the faucet about a week ago (7/24/2020) and it is working well. The install was fairly easy except for squeezing into the undersink cabinet. We bought the faucet for our new counter top and under mounted sink. We like to one touch feature. The instructions say it is not supposed to come on when the faucet is grabbed to move it, but it does come on.

The features, quality, usefulness and reasonable price make this faucet Amazing! We truly wouldn’t write a review like this unless it really warranted it—-it DOES. The temperature light and tap on/off features have truly spoiled us. Great innovations!

One touch is great!!
I have had the one touch for 5 years now and absolutely love it! It always works like magic. Like anything else, it requires a little maintenance such as replacing the batteries (for the touch) maybe once per year and replacing the magnet (on the pull out sprayer which Delta will send you for free and is easy to replace) twice.

Q&A
third question is related to LED light. It has never changed temps. It is always red?? Thanks for your help
Hi, Joe P!
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your Delta faucet. We recommend to reset the LED light wire and battery pack. To do this, disconnect the LED light wire from the solenoid. Disconnect the battery pack. Wait a full minute. While you are waiting a full minute, you can check batteries and see if they are in good condition, even try new batteries. Make sure they're all in the correct direction and tightly secured in the battery pack. After a full minute, reconnect the LED light wire into the solenoid and then reconnect the battery pack. Wait another full minute. After the full minute, you can then check your faucet and see if the blue light works better. If this does not, please contact our Delta Customer Service line at (800)345-3358. We are available Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm, CST and Saturday, 8am-5pm, CST. You may also email at customerservice@deltafaucet.com.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

How do you tighten the faucet part that sits on the counter to keep from wobbling
Hi Dan B! This 9197t-DST kitchen faucet uses a mounting bracket that can be tightened to secure the faucet to the counter top. Please follow the instructions provided in the link . Please see page 3.

second issue with our 9178T-DST - it seems to be loose at the base. How do we tighten it without damaging the device. It was professionally installed about six months ago.
Hi, Joe P!
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a loosened faucet base. We do recommend to tighten the mounting nut with the provided wrench. If you're needing a new wrench or a wrench and nut, we recommend to order RP92714.

Model 9178T-DST. I do not get enough water pressure on my kitchen faucet as it was before. Is any part that I should change or has to be clean inside some where taking it apart? Hope that someone can help me with this issue.
Hello Rick,
Thank you for your question. We would recommend flushing the supply lines of your faucet. To flush out the valve body, so that these parts do last as long as possible, please first turn off the water supply to the faucet. Gather an adjustable wrench, some towels and a bucket.
Disconnect the hot side Innoflex line. Move the handle to the full on position, middle temp.
Point the hot side Innoflex line into a bucket. Turn on the cold supply valve full.
Let a gallon or two flow into the bucket. Shut off cold supply.
Check bucket for debris. If no debris, empty bucket and run one more time.
Move handle to off position.
Reattach hot side line. Turn on both water supply valves.
Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social if there is anything else you need.
Best regards,
Tanya
