Single Handle Pull-Down Bar / Prep Faucet in Chrome

Thank you for your question, williedrip! All necessary dimensions and measurements needed for installation can be found on the Technical Specifications Sheet below. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/dsp-k-19978-sd-dst_D.pdf Best regards, Edward

The Leland faucet has a selector switch for aerated spray or full...and the spray isn't a wide spray meaning it's very controlable even when not pulled out of the magnetic base. Included in the box is a tool for removing the aerator portion for cleaning of calcium/lime deposits. Suggest using vinegar for the disolving of these deposits and not a "lime away" type chemical. I don't know if the finish would be harmed by the "lime away" product but I'm not willing to experiment.

Robin, thank you for your post. I have to admit, I chuckled at the joy your son must feel when he turns the faucet into a toy. Having a 6 year old, myself, I can relate to that! With that said, unfortunately there is not a stop that can be installed to restrict the swivel of the 360 degree spin.

Hi ls_5chevelle, Thank you for your question! This is the RP40530 hose guide. It is used to assist in the installation of the hose to keep it from catching. Simply insert it into the end of the hose, slide the hose through the faucet, then remove the guide. Best regards, Jon

Dear Eugenia512, Thank you for your question. The Hose assembly of the Delta Leland Kitchen Pull-Down 9178-DST faucet, is design as self retracting. You would need to push the wand back up towards the spout assembly. The faucet does have a MagnaTite docking wand/sprayer assembly. There is a magnet on the top side of the sprayer and another one inside the end of the spout, that locked together to hold the sprayer in place. Best regards, Tanya

Thank you for your question, Linda! Model 9678-SP-DS is the Bar/Prep version of the Leland kitchen faucet. 9178-AR-DST is the kitchen version in the Arctic Stainless finish whereas "SP" indicates the SpotShield Stainless finish. Both models are similar, however the bar prep version is shorter at 14 1/2" (368 mm) high whereas the kitchen faucet measures 14-7/8"(378 mm) high. Best regards, Edward

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 978-SSSD-DST has a flow rate of 1.8 gpm at 60 psi. This is the flow rate that adheres to the regulations. We do not recommend trying to increase the water flow.

Thank you for your question, Ben! We recommend the RP50813, RP50781, or RP47280 Soap Dispenser to best match the Leland collection. https://www.deltafaucet.com/kitchen/product/RP50813 https://www.deltafaucet.com/kitchen/product/RP50781 https://www.deltafaucet.com/kitchen/product/RP47280 Best regards, Jon

Thank you for your question, John! We do no recommend lubricating any parts of a Delta faucet unless instructed to do so.

For further assistance with this part, please contact us directly. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP60923 Best regards, Edward

HI, BufordTJustice! Thank you for your question.

Hi Ted, Thank you for your question. The RP53998 aerator will fit the model 978-AR-DST faucet. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for your question, Wayne. The water should stay within a narrow cone while in the spray setting. Please refer to the product photos to see an image of the spray pattern. The pull-down wand has TouchClean spray holes that allow you to easily wipe away any mineral buildup that can cause errant sprays. Best regards, Jon

Hi Phyllis, Thank you for your question. The model Water Efficient (1.5 gpm) version of this faucet is model number 978-WE-DST. Splashing should not be an issue in most instances. However, the 978-WE-DST has a lower water velocity, which helps prevent splashing. Best regards, Jon

Dear Aclmark, Thank you for your question. Delta does not recommend and advises that no polishes or coatings should be used on any of our finishes. The cleaning care directions from the warranty states: Always blot dry any water from faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward. If additional cleaning is required, all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners: Formula 409® Antibacterial All Purpose Cleaner, Fantastik® All Purpose Cleaner, or Windex® Original Glass Cleaner, when used according to the manufacturers' instructions for use. Avoid using the following which can damage your finish: Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Basin Tub, Soft Scrub, and Tile Cleaner. Avoid products that state on the label that they remove tarnish and rust, and those containing hydrofluoric, hydrochloric and/or phosphoric acids and caustic agents. Avoid harsh abrasives, coatings and/or polishes. Avoid bleach-based cleaners. Best regards, Tanya
