PRODUCT FEATURES
Touch on. Touch off. With Touch2O® Technology, it doesn't matter if you have two full hands or ten messy fingers. Tap anywhere on the spout or handle of the faucet with your hand, wrist, or forearm to start and stop the flow of water. Thoughtfully designed to make kitchen tasks easier, Touch2O Technology allows you to turn the faucet on and off with just a touch anywhere on the faucet's spout or handle. Designed for precise, responsive control every time, no matter where you touch. You can easily control and change the water temperature above the deck using the faucet handle. TempSense™ Technology measures the water temperature in the faucet. The LED light at the base of the faucet changes from blue to magenta to red depending upon the temperature of the water to let you know when the water temperature is right for you. A/C adapter EP102157 is available to purchase separately as an option to avoid changing batteries. Even if the adapter is used, batteries are still recommended as a back-up if power goes out. Once power is restored, the solenoid valve will automatically revert back to using A/C power. All Touch2O models are water-efficient, underlining Delta's commitment to conservation. 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.

  • MagnaTite® Docking uses a powerful integrated magnet to snap your faucet spray wand precisely into place and hold it there so it stays docked when not in use and doesn’t droop over time
  • DIAMOND™ Seal Technology is less hassle to install and helps your faucet perform like new for life, reducing leak points and lasting twice as long as the industry standard
  • Meets standards set by Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't wait to buy again! I put this in home I just sold. I moved and I really miss it! I miss the touch anywhere feature very much. I miss the spray nozzle. I miss the light that indicates the temperature. When the faucet in my new home dies, I'm going to buy this one again!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from inconsistent touch Like the basic function of the faucet. it is high over the sink. nice spray. finish is easy to clean. not crazy about the inability to clean under the spring that covers the hose. should have a simple way to do that. The big issue is the touch feature. change the temperature or flow and the unit goes on and off rapidly. retract the faucet head, water turns off. it is so inconsistent and annoying that i wish i hadn't spent so much money to have it. when features don't work as advertised they become an annoyance.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from 14 months old already broken This faucet started leaking at the handle at 14 months after installation (new construction). Warranty support is non-existed despite the information that came with the fauscet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect faucet We’ve quickly adjusted to our touch faucet and wow does it make prep and cleaning easier. The color indicator for water temp is a great feature. The detachable hose allows for cleaning in every area of my large sink. Great quality. This faucet takes batteries or you can purchase the A/C power supply-which is what we did.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Touch technology doesn’t work This is a nice looking faucet but the touch technology doesn’t work. You pull the lever out to start water flow but it stops as you remove your hand from the lever, so you have to touch it again for the water to flow again. Sometimes, I’m not sure if it’s from water splashing or what but, the water will stop suddenly without touching it causing you to touch it again to resume water flow. Some of the times it takes several touches for it to restart. Having paid extra $$ for this feature was not worth it, I wish I hadn’t done it. :( Get the regular - without touch technology - faucet as it is a good looking faucet and it makes a statement in the kitchen. I wish I could post a video of the malfunctions.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Touch feature has major issues - hacky fix tl;dr - Beautiful, but problematic. Would not buy this again. I installed this item in July and installed it a few weeks after. It worked great for a month, but started acting up in September. Touching anywhere higher than the base would work sporadically. It would also sometimes turn on by itself with no one near it. I opened up a ticket in October and went back and forth with numerous agent. I've changed the batteries, the placement of the battery holder, made sure none of the wires are touching. I've swapped out a plastic piece. I've replaced the solenoid module. The ticket has been open for 4 months with no resolution. I finally tried a hack that has made the problem 80% better, but still not 100%. If you have a similar problem, you can pull the neck off from the base (it just pulls up), then wrap aluminum foil around as pictured. Be sure the foil not only wraps around the plastic, but coils in to touch the metal beneath as well. This improves the conductivity. It's hacky but has made this $900 faucet useable. I'm still waiting for Delta to make this right. btw, I've sent many videos and photos to show my installation was correct. I also have a second sink with a different model Delta touch faucet and that thing works 100% of the time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from touch for on and off Fast turn on and off. Less wasted water. Less splash from hands.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Less drip A bit pricy, but worth it. Our old faucet turned off next to the spout so every time your hands were wet the backsplash got wet requiring it to be dried after every use. now We just touch the metal spout and the water shuts off. .

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I would give this a 5 star rating but..... I have a 46" wide sink and purchased two of these faucets to go with it. Both faucets have been installed for about a month now. I love the faucets and the touch feature but this evening, one of the faucets will not stop dripping when I use the touch function to shut it off. I have to manually shut it off (it will stop dripping when I do it manually). So, it drips when I touch to shut off. The other faucet is still working fine. Please help me. My husband did not want to get these faucets saying they will break in no time. I want to prove him wrong!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful and functional I installed this faucet as part of a recent kitchen remodel. Everyone who visits wants to touch it, turn it off and on, and comments on how beautiful it is. It has enough “wow factor” to anchor one side of the kitchen. Great choice.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice features We’ve had this installed for about a month. We did have to purchase a different base for it to fit our sink. The features are nice. It’s larger than I was expecting, but it allows room for you to maneuver larger dishes underneath without having to pull the nozzle out. I will say that when I ordered, I thought the hose/spout was smooth, which I really liked the look of. However, it’s actually coiled. Isn’t a huge deal breaker, obviously because we kept it, but just in case your eyes are seeing a smooth finish like mine did, it’s not lol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love everything about this faucet Touch feature works great, great quality faucet, easy to clean (chrome), spray is good. I will never go back to a faucet that doesn't have the touch sensor. I replaced my original grohe touch faucets after a few months of use as they didn't work well. My husband installed them (not a plumber, but he's handy) in about 30 minutes. I've had them for close to a year and have had no issues!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So beautiful! I got this to replace my broken kitchen sink faucet. It has a lot of great features. It has two spray settings, normal and spray like a shower head. I really love the pull down hose, it's really useful for washing awkward dishes and the sink itself. The coolest feature is that if you leave the faucet on the "on" position while cooking you can just tap the top of the faucet with the back of your hand, elbow, or wrist to prevent cross contamination. The light let's you know how cold or hot the water is that is coming out. It does take 6 AA batteries but they also sell am adapter kit if you don't want to mess with batteries. This is the best kitchen faucet I've ever used. I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible! This thing is awesome! Such a change from the conventional faucet. Im still learning how everything works but once we get the hang of everything Im sure we will love it that much more, I would highly recommend!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Stylish Features This faucet has a nice stylish sleek stainless steel design that will look good in any type of kitchen. You do not need to have a special deep sink of special designed sink to make it work. It looked really nice in my kitchen with my sink. I love that this faucet is able to be turned on when you touch it, you do not have to turn the handle. It give you the opportunity to turn it on if your hands are full or if you have stuff all over your hands. You just have to tap the side of the faucet. Also on the faucet is a temperature light, so you know what the faucet is set to so you do not burn your hands when it turns on. The handle of the faucet is very long and it can come off the holder and back with a magnet to give you more access to pots and pans, and then the sprayer of the handle comes off as well and extends for further use. You can change the sprayer to solid flow or use as a sprayer. Very easy to install and certainly made to last for quite a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OMG Gorgeous faucet I was speechless when I saw the size of the box when it was delivered. I was even more surprised when I saw the faucet. It is simply gorgeous and offers a lot of features. I have remodeled most of my kitchen other them my countertops and sink. The Delta Trinsic Pro Touch2O single handle pull-down one touch faucet does almost everything other than washing your dishes for you. You can tap anywhere on the faucet to turn it on or off (love it). The LED light at the base of the faucet that changes colors based on whether the water temperature is hot or cold is a great idea. You can purchase and adaptor that will also run the faucet on AC power versus battery power. You can make your Delta Trinsic smart by adding the Voice IQ; it allows you to control some aspects of your faucet using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant devices. I totally love my new faucet. Great Job Delta!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Touch and go This is a larger high loop faucet that is as modern looking as it is functioning. It is of a solid brass construction where you would expect it and the finish is well done. It was a snap to install and was ready to go in 15 minutes. It has an electronic touch on and off or use the handle. You still control the temp by the handle but an LED light indicates the current temp when you touch it on. The electronics have a 5 year warrantee and the rest is lifetime.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What an AMAZING faucet!!! I was so excited to try and use the Delta Single Handle Pull-Down Spring Spout Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O® Technology. It was easy to install with the help of my dad. The faucet stands tall and is very sturdy which helps when you have big/tall items in the sink you are trying to clean. The features are awesome, the spring part of the faucet is held in place by a magnet and you can remove it for extra movement and it easily docks back into place. The pull down sprayer makes it even easier to utilize and you can choose the regular flow of the faucet or at the push of a button have a spray option. My two favorite features are the touch technology and the LED temperature light. The touch technology makes it easy to turn on the faucet with just a "tap" instead of having to manually turn a knob to access water. When your hands are dirty this makes it especially convenient. The LED light helps you know when the water is cool or warm to the touch by showing a blue light for cool, purple hue for warm and red for hot. I would suggest this faucet to anyone who wants a classy looking, modern, tech savvy faucet that is "cook friendly". People who spend a lot of time in the kitchen will really get spoiled by not having to worry about turning the faucet on with dirty hands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beyond Happy!!! I love this Delta faucet. This faucet has met my expectations and beyond. I like the way the faucet looks, like I have an industrial kitchen!!! The faucet did required an additional plate for installation. I’m not sure what I like best about the faucet that I can just touch the faucet to turns on automatically or that the faucet has a light so I can see what the temperature is as well as set it, getting the hang of it. The faucet has been handy in my kitchen, I enjoy cooking and spent a lot of time in the there. The spout drop down so I can rinse around the sink or the faucet has a toggle for spraying or a steady stream. My husband didn't have any trouble installing this faucet, maybe about an hour or so. My old faucet was a 25 year old plus, Delta as well and I loved that one as well. Delta stands by their products that I can attest to.

We change the battery out on this faucet. Afterwards we tried turning on the Fossett and there is very low pressure now. I tried to turn it on manually by disconnecting D batteries while the water was on but still low pressure now. Please help

Asked by: Bbender
Hello Bbender, Thank you for your question regarding the Trinsic Pro Pull-Down Kitchen 9659T-AR-DST model. 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. Best regards, Tanya

Can this faucet be mounted with the control level facing directly toward the sink / user?

Asked by: Paul R
Hi, Paul R! Thank you for your question. The handle assembly cannot be mounted in the front for the Delta 9659T-AR-DST faucet since the LED light base will need to be facing front. Best Regards, Rosanna

Is Artic Stainless like a brushed nickel?

Asked by: Betsy307
Thank you for your question, Betsy307! The Delta finish Brushed Nickel is a matte brushed finish, which matches most Stainless Steel finishes closely and has warmer tones, with more red in the color spectrum, whereas Arctic Stainless is a lighter, cooler metallic tone where blue is more predominant.
