Rated 3 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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

Q&A

What is the difference between stainless steel finish, and artic finish. I am interested in the Leland faucet. Thank you

Asked by: Bosco
Hi Bosco, Thank you for your question. There is a slight difference in the finishes of Artic Stainless and Stainless Steel. Artic Stainless more closely resembles the stainless steel appliances that are available for the kitchens in todays markets. It has a bluish tint to it. Stainless Steel has a golder tone to it and more closely matches finishes in the bathroom. Thanks, Dave

What size holes should be cut in my countertop to accommodate the spout, handle and soap dipenser?

Soap dispenser leaks from the spout. How can I fix this?

I did not install this faucet, it was in place when I bought my apartment but looks fairly new and the faucet works like a charm! However the soap dispenser needs to be pumped 4-5 times for soap to come out (the bottle is full of soap) and then after dispensing, it slowly leaks onto the sink. How can this be fixed? Thank you!
Asked by: Marin
Hi Marin, We are sorry that you are experiencing a problem with your soap dispenser. It sounds like the pump assembly is not working properly. Unfortunately the pump assembly is not available as a separate item. The entire RP50813 soap dispenser will need to be replaced. Thanks, Dave

I would like to take off the faucet head because it has begun to spray - I assume build up is inside the head. I see the little piece you can push in but it doesn't want to come apart from the hose easily. Is there a trick to take the head off?

Asked by: Christy
Hello Chritsy, Thank you for your inquiry! The wand/sprayer assembly of the Delta Leland Pull-Down Kitchen 978-AR-DST faucet, an be remove by simply unscrewing it from the end of the hose assembly. This should be done by hand only. Best regards, Tanya

The spec indicates a min clearance of 2.5 inches from center of hole for faucet to backsplash. I only have 2 inches.  Why is 2.5 inches needed since the handle goes forward and not back? Will 2 inches work? 

Asked by: Bridget
Thank you for your question, Bridget! The minimum clearance to the back splash is typically suggested for lavatory models with lift rods or for models where the handle does reach backwards. This is still suggested for maximum comfort and ease of use with the handle; however this model can still work with only 2". Best regards, Edward

I see where you have answered the question about the difference between Model 9178 and 9678. What is the difference between those and Model 19978?

Asked by: Kathy61
Hello Kathy 61, Thank you for your question. The Delta Leland Pull-Down 19978-SS-DST faucet is a Home Depot exclusive model and it is similar to the Leland 9178-AR-DST faucet. However, the 9178-AR-DST is designed with the ShieldSpray feature and the 19978-SS-DST model is not. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-19978-SD-DST%20Rev%20C.pdf Best regards, Tanya
