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® SpotShield™ Technology helps to keep your faucet cleaner, longer by resisting water spots and fingerprints. Keep your space spotless with SpotShield Technology, available across a variety of finishes for the kitchen and bath. 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.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Disappointing flow rate I love the look and function of this faucet, all except for the flow rate. The flow rate is not as advertised. I have a newer home with good water pressure. I had no complaints with our last Delta faucet, but this one has a noticeably decreased flow rate. In a marked bucket I’m getting just over 4.5 quarts per minute which translates to about 1.2 gallons instead of the 1.8 advertised. This is very disappointing to me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well made Renovating my own Kitchen and wanted to upgrade existing sink faucet. Have been using it for a month now and enjoying the Touch and ShieldSpray Technologies. Using the Touch feature with the back of my hands, so as not to get any dirt or other on the handle, is great. I would recommend this product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Touch Model issue I love the touch model but at times my faucet doesn't respond or requires a hard hit to respond.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works GREAT! My family loves this faucet, it is beautiful and the touch has been working really well. It should be professionally installed by a plumber familiar with touch products to get the best performance. I wish we had gotten this faucet months ago!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works very well, easy to install. I have had this just under 1 year and it was worked very well until the Touch2O solenoid failed. Thankfully, Delta has a 5 yr warranty on electrical parts. Would hope the average life of this part is better than 1 yr, which prompted the 4 stars. Assuming mine is not common, it would be a 5 star product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very happy, love the functionality Very happy with this faucet so far! Easy install and excellent functionality. I bought this because I had an older Delta faucet. As i hoped all connections of the new model worked with the previous model. Have to say the shieldspray function leaves a bit to be desired. But the touch technology is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This faucet is awesome. This faucet looks great in our kitchen. It is no too large and overtakes the kitchen sink area, but it is fully functional. I like the the finish doesn't really show any spots. After 6 years of faucet ownership I had to replace a the magnet and the water cartridge. However Delta replaced both items free of charge. It's nice to see a company actually stand behind their product warranty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great faucet I bought this a month ago and it is everything it says. The touch on off is so nice. You don't have to keep adjusting the temp when you are doing things in kitchen and only need to turn off water to conserve. Would totally buy again. Looks so good in my kitchen and have gotten many compliments

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Features! Nice Style! Really nice faucet! I love the touch control and the spray shield feature is wonderful as well. It is definitely pricey, but you are getting great quality, amazing features and high dependability. So far, I am very happy with it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Faucet I purchased this Delta Faucet after extensive research on quality, price, functionality, and customer service. After 3 weeks of use, it is an awesome product. Unfortunately, I did have to contact customer service as the valve assembly was leaking and dripping on my counter. I submitted a help ticket to the company and without any further requirements, Delta mailed me a new valve assembly, I installed it and have not had another problem. Delta is a great company with excellent support!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the Touch2O Had it a few weeks now and really like the touch feature. We bought it in spite of apparently some touch feature problems, so long term use will tell whether we did good or not. For now, it is a delight, and we trust Delta. It is our go-to choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovin' the free hands When I am baking or cooking meals, I love the touch feature of my Delta faucet. If my hands are covered with bread dough, by just touching the faucet, I can wash my hands and keep the faucet clean. I can tap the faucet off while I lather and scrub my hands for the recommended 20 seconds so I'm not wasting water.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice addition We replaced counter tops and sink. I'm glad we chose this faucet! Looks great, allows you to easily turn off and on the water with a touch. I find we use a lot less water now. I did notice that it takes quite a while to reach max temp on hot water for the temp light to turn red. I had to turn up the water heater to 125 to reach 115 at the faucet?
Date published: 2020-03-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I'm In Love! I can't say enough good things about this faucet. It's gorgeous, the touch feature is so convenient and now with this crazy Corona virus I feel even better about everybody not touching the handle. The back of your hands or arm and it's on. Love the lighted temp LED light in the front. Love the auto shut after 2 minutes. I'm a 55 year old woman and I installed it myself. Save a couple hundred bucks I'm sure. It's not for everybody but the Delta You Tube video was a huge help. If I have any complaint it is the box that holds the batteries. It just feels cheap.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use and nice features I love the ability to touch the faucet to turn it on/off without losing the temperature and flow rate settings. I use this feature all the time washing dishes. I do wish it wouldn't happen when I touch the handle though--sometimes when I try to turn the faucet on, the feature triggers and it doesn't turn on. I like the spray shield feature, it seems to work well, though I haven't used it as much.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for us We love this Delta faucet. All of our faucets have been Delta so we wanted another Delta for our kitchen remodel. We especially love the temperature indicator light in the base which changes color. In the mornings it takes a while for warm water to reach our kitchen as it is some distance from the hot water heater in the basement. In the past we would run some water and test with our hands. Now we just wait for the light to go from blue to red. May seem like a simple thing, but we really like it. And, best of all is the touch feature to turn on/off. When doing a lot of dishes after a big meal, this is a big help. Otherwise it looks great and we like the high neck. I had read a negative review stating the magnet wasn't strong enough to keep the nozzle in the neck when not pulled down. Not the case for us, the magnet is plenty strong enough. We love this faucet and highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Touch I love the touch feature. The docking is good also. I’ve only had it for three days, so far so good. Looks great also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best yet We tried other Major companies faucets and were not satisfied. This is working great and a great savings on water.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great customer service We enjoyed our Delta touch faucet for over 2 years and then started having problem. Their customer service was excellent. I explained the problem. They sent the part at no charge. I installed and it's back like new. They have good videos on troubleshooting.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from wish I would have purchased the short version Still trying to get used to how to control water pressure, water temperature and how to keep splashing in the sink. There were two models -- one high and one shorter -- I wish I had purchased the latter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great looking and a pleasure to use It was easy to install. Easy operation and I love showing it to friends. I like the way you stand behind your products. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No Leaks and easy install Had a great experience with Delta customer support in the past and decided to try a new faucet to replace another Delta that uses 2 holes installation to this single hole and love the touch control. This is also one of the few models that have more color choices and this definitely match my existing fixtures.

Can the on/off control valve be left in the on position continuously and only control the water flow with the touch feature?

Asked by: Aldie
Hi, Aldie! Thank you for your question. The handle assembly can be left in the 'on' position at all times. You will only have to use the handle to change the temperature and the water flow. Best Regards, Rosanna

What is the part number for a 4&quot; center (approx. 6&quot; long) escutcheon plate that matches a Delta Leland 9678T -ST-DST faucet with Spotshield finish? And where can I order one?

Asked by: Chuck
Thank you for your inquiry, Chuck! The Delta Leland Bar/Prep 9678T-SP-DST faucet does not have a smaller escutcheon plate designed or available for it. However, this unit does have an optional escutcheon plate RP47274SP for this unit that measures at 10-3/4&quot; . Best regards, Tanya

Will the faucet still work if the owner goes out?? We have ours hard-wired and don&rsquo;t use the battery pack.&nbsp;

Asked by: Spud
Hello Jill, Thank you for your question. The Delta Leland Touch2O Kitchen 9178T-SP-DST faucet is designed to only activate when touched. We recommend to turn the handle to the off position if leaving on vacation or for an extended period of time, but you can leave it on/open for day-to-day use. Best regards, Tanya

The touch on works with battery but it won't work with A.C. power supply. Why?

Asked by: Spectrum
Hello Spectrum, Thank you for your question. We actually recommend you leave the batteries in the battery box while using the AC power adapter. It is recommended to keep it plug up due to the fact, if there is not enough power it will not work. Best regards, Tanya
