Single-Handle Pull-Down Spring Kitchen Faucet in Arctic Stainless
Model#:
9659-AR-DST
PRODUCT FEATURES
The pull-down spray wand comes free with a gentle tug and gives you total flexibility. The hose extends and retracts without friction points, fed by gravity. As you raise the wand to dock it, the magnet embedded in the spout pulls the wand precisely into place. So, unlike other pull-downs that tend to droop over time, MagnaTite® keeps your pull-down faucet looking picture-perfect. Delta's exclusive DIAMOND Seal® Technology uses a valve with a tough diamond coating. InnoFlex® PEX waterways keep water inside the faucet out of contact with potential metal contaminants. This powerful combination brings you a faucet built to last up to five million uses. Only Delta faucets are equipped with Touch-Clean® soft, rubber nubbins that allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with the touch of a finger.
- FULL-RANGE, FLEXIBLE REACH: High-arc pull-down kitchen faucet with 360° rotating spring spout delivers a 20-inch retractable hose for easier cleaning, filling and rinsing around the sink
- MAGNETIC DOCKING SPRAYER: MagnaTite® Docking uses a powerful magnet to keep your pull-down kitchen faucet sprayer securely in place and prevent drooping over time
- LEAD-FREE COMPLIANT: Not all faucets are certified to necessary safety standards. Delta goes above and beyond with product testing and quality to ensure each faucet meets plumbing safety standards, including NSF/ANSI 61 and 372
- LASTS 2X LONGER: Patented DIAMOND Seal® Technology reduces leak points and lasts 2X as long as the industry standard for long-lasting, leak-free performance (Industry standard based on ASME A112.18.1 of 500,000 cycles)
- LEAK-FREE SUPPLY LINES YOU CAN TRUST: Delta® PEX supply lines are tested to withstand 20% more extreme pressure for 1,000 hours without leaking—far beyond plumbing standards
- EASY INSTALLATION OPTIONS: This kitchen sink faucet fits 1 or 3-hole configurations and includes integrated InnoFlex® PEX supply lines for faster installation; optional deck plate available separately
- CORROSION-RESISTANT FINISH: Brilliance® finishes are engineered for durability and tested for corrosion resistance to at least 2 times industry standards
- QUICK-CLEAN SPRAY HOLES: Touch-Clean® spray holes let you easily wipe away calcium and lime buildup with the touch of a finger
- ADA-COMPLIANT DESIGN: ADA-compliant lever handle makes this kitchen faucet easy to adjust water temperature and volume
- LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY: Designed for lasting reliability and backed by Delta Faucet Company's Lifetime Limited Warranty

Nice faucet
I absolutely love this faucet! The old style faucet for my kitchen was also a goose neck style but was able to pull out quiet far. Although you can't pull this faucet out, it does have a long reach to rinse out your sink. The adjustments I have to make using this faucet is just placing larger pots in the sink to fill with water. It is well worth the effort it took to adjust to putting the faucet in the magnetic clip & adjusting the way the spray is used on this style faucet head. The spray stays on when you switch the button from stream to spray, love this feature, it's my favorite! The faucet has become a nice addition to my kitchen. I did not pick out this style faucet, it was my husbands choice that I went with. It is really nice & after getting used to it for 3 weeks now I can honestly say I love it.

Great faucet
Good price, delivered quickly and easy self-installation. We are very happy with our new faucet. The hose guide is designed to protect it from tearing when using the pull-down over time unlike the porcelanosa faucet this replaced. Everything feels solid and it looks great

BAD DESIGN. QUICKLY STARTS TO LEAN OVER
A PLASTIC PART IS USED TO SUPPORT THIS HEAVY METAL FAUCET. THE THOUGHTLESS DESIGN IS GUARANTEED TO FAIL AND THE FAUCET STARTS TO LEAN OVER. I HAVE REPLACED THIS PLASTIC PART TWICE OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD OF TIME. CLEARLY NO ONE OF AUTHORITY AT DELTA ACTUALLY USES THIS EXPENSIVE FAUCET, OR ELSE THEY WOULD SEE THAT IT WILL QUICKLY NOT STAND UP STRAIGHT.

Is there a different cartridge available with a higher flow rate or something I can do to the faucet to increase the pressure (flow). We tun at 50 to 65 pressure (pump on/pump off) and the faucet is slowing it down way too much.
Hi, Thank you for contacting us.
I am sorry to hear there is an issue with your faucet and we are more than happy to assist you.
We always recommend a flush before installing a faucet as this will remove potential debris before it can enter our units. To ensure this is resolved fully we would like to go over a few potential causes.The issue that you have described is usually caused by a debris blockage in the lines. To locate that blockage you would need to flush out the valve body.
To flush out the valve body, first remove the aerator or wand and turn off the water supply to the unit. It is helpful to use a chip clip or clothespin to prevent the hose from retracting into the spout. Remove the handle and cartridge. Inspect the bottom of the cartridge for debris and rinse this off carefully so as not to loose the orange or blue gasket. You will need to turn the water on just a little bit from out of the handle area to ensure no debris has fallen into the lines under the cartridge.
Next, place a pitcher or bucket upside down over the open valve and turn the water back on full strength for 30 to 45 seconds. After the allotted time, turn the water off and reinstall the components.
Please contact us if you have any further questions or if you need further assistance you may call us at 1-800-345-3358. We are open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM central time, and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday. Thank you for your cooperation.

Re: Delta 9659-AR-DST Trinsic Pro How do I open the aerator to clean out debris?
Thank you for your question, Patricia. We recommend unscrewing the wand from the hose to check for debris and soak it in a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution for about 1 hour to help dissolve mineral buildup.

1.)Do all the trinsic kitchen faucets have the spotschield protection? I am interested in the 9659 AR DST in the Arctic stainless. 2.)Is there any advantage to the Arctic Stainless other than different appearance (that is does it help ward off spots)?
Thank you for your question, David! Arctic Stainless is a durable finish however it is not a Spotshield finish. This Trinsic model is not available with the Spotshield Stainless finish, however the Trask models 1993-SPSD-DST/19933T-SPSD-DST are available in this finish and look nearly identical in style.

Does the 9659-DST have the two buttons that when You want to make it spray, you just click the button and the spray continues without having to hold down the button? Thank you. Bea
Hi, BeaFernand!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 9659-DST Faucet does have a toggle button that changes from stream to spray on the sprayer. The button does not need to be held down for the mode selection.

When you pull down on the Faucet Head does it extend out further and retract back? I am trying to get an all in one vs separated Faucet and side spout
Thank you for your question, Sam! The coiled spout can be removed from the arm so that you can point the sprayer in any direction. The internal 70" pull-out hose can also be extended from the end of the coiled spout for additional reach. The hose is not designed to self retract.

Can you reverse the hot/cold?
Hot is set 'towards you' and cold is set 'away from you' per the red and blue dots...can this be reversed?

I had my plumber install this faucet along with a new single bowl stainless sink. Red and blue dot location is somewhat confusing. When the handle is vertical should the water that is supplied be cold even though the only visible dot is red?
Thank you for your question, Mark68! We're sorry for any confusion and happy to clarify. The handle will provide hot water as you move it forwards or towards you to a horizontal position. Backwards, to a vertical position should be cold. The dots will indicate which way to angle the handle for the desired temperature.

Can this be mounted with the handle on the left?
I have two hole setup (granite) with filtered water faucet mounted in the hole on the right. I need to mount the main faucet with the handle to the left to avoid interference.
Thank you for your question, Jim. We recommend installing this faucet with the handle on the right. The handle rotates forward and away from the faucet. When installed on the left, the handle will rotate backwards.

Thank you for your inquiry, Cdelcampo! The wand/sprayer assembly of the Delta Trinsic Pro Pull-Down Kitchen 9659-DST faucet is not designed with a removable aerator assembly. We would recommend removing the wand and checking the debris screen for any buildup that could be inhibiting the flow.

Spray head hard to remove
We looked at this faucet today. I don't know if this was a pre production model, but when trying to detach the spray head from the magnetic arm, it was impossible to remove unless you pulled straight out or pulled the spring.
Has this been addressed?
Dear Kyle,
Thank you for your question. The Delta Trinsic kitchen Pull-down kitchen faucet has the MagnaTite docking featue that keeps the kitchen pull-down spray wand firmly in place with a powerful integrated magnet, so it stays docked when not in use.
