Facet
We installed this facet 2004, the sprayer part stop working 3 yrs ago due to cali buildup even thought we clean with vinegar, I’m trying to find a replacement part but can’t find one that locks back into place when you pull it out to use,so I can use the sprayer again.

Excellent customer service!
We bought this faucet 6.5 years ago and recently developed a slow drip. I looked up our faucet model number on the web site and called customer support. In a few minutes my order was placed for the replacement part. It's amazing that a company still has this level of customer service - it's world class! Thanks Delta, it's been a pleasure doing business with you!

Great Style & Performance
Bought this kitchen faucet to replace a 23 year old Kohler. We chose the Delta Leland because of the style-especially the large handle for my husband who has big hands and the Shield Spray which concentrates the spray on dishes that you rinse. My husband installed this faucet. I would definitely recommend the Leland. It is a wonderful addition to our kitchen.

Nice Faucet
I bought this early this year; had it installed by a plumber. Works well and is convenient, but now and then it will go on or go off when my hand gets very close to the faucet but does not touch it. That can be annoying and wet. I would like it looked at but am not interested in another large bill. Faucet was expensive, as was the installation.

Love The Look
I replaced my old Delta Leland Kitchen Faucet with this new one. I like the look of the new one. It looks special. It took me a little time to figure out how it worked because the stream of water is different. I wish it would not get water spots on it so easily if you do not wipe of the drops right away it leaves spots on it.

Disappointed in Delta from
damaged cartridge
Had sink and faucet installed by plumber. Faucet had to hit a certain spot when turned off or would leak. Called Delta and they said it is a defective cartridge and they would send me a new one. I do not feel I should bear the expense of installing the cartridge as they sold a defective product and this was bad since it was installed.

Good purchase
I purchased my home in 2016 and it has been more than (6) years and no issues with the original Delta Faucet (9178-AR-DST)!
Only recently, the faucet started leaking but since the faucet (9178-AR-DST) has lifetime parts replacement I know I can get the replacement parts at no ($0) additional cost #EASYfix
Date published: 2022-07-11
Q&A
Model 978-DST. Cannot remove the bonnet to replace the cartridge..Used suggested 1 5/16 socket. Cannot break it loose from the base. Some help please. Thanks.
Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to help you.
We recommend wrapping a cloth soaked in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water around the bonnet. This will help break up the mineral buildup in the threads. If additional assistance is required you may wish to contact a plumber.
Please reach out with further questions!
Best Regards,
Tim

faucet handle spins all the way around
I attempted to adjust this faucet handle as it was causing the faucet to leak somewhat. when i removed the set screw holding the faucet on and then retightened the scew the faucet handle now feels loose and spins 360 degrees. im looking to get this repaired but im not sure if i need a new handle or if it is the cartridge the handle goes onto that needs to be replaced.
Hi jasimek, Thank you for your question. It sounds like either the set screw is not tight enough, or the screw is not in contact with the stem portion of the dst cartridge. Make sure the cartridge is seated properly, and that the bonnet and sleeve assembly are tightened correctly. The handle set screw should attach to the cartridge stem on the flat portion of the stem preventing the handle from spinning. I have attached a link to the parts breakdown for the model 978-DST to help you with your repair.
Thanks,
Dave

I know the pull-down sprayer will cover 360 degrees; but, does the spout rotate?
Hi Bill,
Thank you for your question. The spout itself will rotate 360 degrees.

I have a Delta 978-DST kitchen faucet and the handle is getting worn out. I don't have the small allen wrench it appears I would need to replace the worn parts in the handle. Do you have this tool?
Hello Robato,
Thank you for your question. On the lever handle, of your Delta Leland Pull-Down Kitchen 978-DST model, you should find a small hex screw that can be loosened with a 1/8" Allen wrench. Allen wrenches can be purchase from any of your local plumbing and hardware stores. Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social if you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Tanya

Really 2.5" min clearance to backsplash (4" high)? Want to replace a Moen Aberdeen with your Leland 978-DST. The Moen fits fine with 2" clearance from faucet midpoint to backsplash. Why can't I use 978-DST with same 2" center to backsplash clearance?
Hi, KevinK!
Thank you for your question. We recommend the 2.5" clearance to backsplash for the 978-DST so that everything fits on the top of the sink as well as underneath the sink.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

what size garden hose aerator adapter should i buy? i need to hook an aquarium garden hose to the faucet head. 13/16 does not fit. its too small.
Hello tanya101!
Thank you for your question. We only offer one aerator adapter, RP51505. This adapter converts 21.5X 1-6 g metric thread to 55/64”-27 standard thread. Your aerator, RP50815 has M21.5 threads, however care should be taken as we have not tested and do not recommend using this adapter with the pullout or pulldown spray wands.

The magnetic head and spray hose. Is this supposed to retract completely on its own? New installation, everything ok. Hose retracts to plastic spray head. I have to push head into faucet to seal. Thank you.
Thank you for your question, Icecap8! The Delta MagnaTite Technology is only meant to help guide and keep your wand docked when not in use. The hose weight will also help this retract when not in use.
Best regards, Edward
