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.

Q&A

My faucet spray head can't connect to the magnet on the spout because of what appears to be a liner that protrudes out of the tube. Can this be repaired or replaced?

I want to convert Leland Model # 9178T-SP-DST to electric. I find that I am changing the batteries about every 3-4 months. I can't get to the floor to do this. I also find it very difficult to put the batteries in the holder.

Asked by: vlharr
Hello Valued Customer, Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company! The Leland&reg; Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O&reg; and ShieldSpray&reg; Technologies Model#: 9178T-SP-DST can use the A/C Power Supply Model#: EP102157. You will still need to keep the battery box connected with working batteries. Parts can be purchased online or locally. Please see our Where to Buy page for help finding dealers in your area or online. https://www.deltafaucet.com/where-to-buy Please reach out with further questions!

Our 9178T-AR-DST Delta faucet turns on by itself. We tried changing the batteries and it continues to turn on when nobody is around it.

Asked by: Lori
Hello Lori, Thank you for your question. We are happy to help! A Delta Faucet with Touch2O turning on without being touched would be an issue of electrically isolating the faucet. We recommend placing the battery box on the floor, away from any walls. Keep the wires away from any other wires and away from metal as much as possible. Check that the faucet mounting shank is not touching the edge of the sink. Try moving the clip down the mounting shank and pointing it away from the sink. Please reach out directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance. Best regards, Bryan

A photo of the Leland faucet shows installed almost next to the backsplash but the specs show a minimum clearance of 2-1/2 inches. &nbsp;I need a faucet that can be installed with only 1-1/2 inch clearance. &nbsp;Is there any kitchen faucet that will meet my needs?

We have the 9178T-AR-DST model and now the when you touch the faucet the water may or may not turn off. &nbsp;The indicator light will turn off &amp; on but not the water. &nbsp;Sometimes it will turn off 5-10 seconds later and then sometime not at all

The water flow through my Leland touch faucet is becoming very slow. The water pressure to the spray head is very good when I remove the spray head. I cannot see any deposits in the head filters. Do I need a new head?

Asked by: Kevin
Hello Kevin, Thank you for contacting us! I apologize about the low flow you are experiencing but am happy to help you. The Delta 9678T-SP-DST has a flow rate of 1.8 GPM @ 60 PSI, If your not getting this flow rate then we would recommend soaking the wand in 50/50 white vinegar and water to break up the debris or build up. Best Regards, Nicole
